Awful fit so I cannibalised the holder, rewired and soldered the bulb in place - and they are bright. Even on 20% in the mfd these are on the verge of distracting whilst driving. Weird seeing your feet all blue. Really stand out when the doors are open though and the colour is a perfect match to the blue dials. Plan is to either a) cover an area of the lens to stop light spill/tone them down or b) ditch them in favour of the option 2 blue leds that arrive in a couple of weeks.
Couple of weeks later, and these are what I settled on - 6smd blue leds, with a wrap of window tint film to kill the brightness:
Do you have a link to the updated 6msd blue leds on ebay and where they easy to fit unlike the first ones you fitted??
Options: R - APR Stage 2+, Milltek cat back no resonated, Peron Intercooler, Forge hoses, Anti-Lift Kit, RS4 FPRV, VWR Induction, VWR Springs, GFB DV+, NGK Iridium plugs. Cup Spoiler and Maxton Splitter, Side skirts and diffuser. GT TDI - Now sold

Could you send me the details for the spoiler and link, etc?
I want to get one.
give vw a shout, it's the cup spoiler. you can buy the kit from them and do painting/fitting yourself. aftermarket one's generally don't fit very well and really should be avoided imho.

Here is the spoiler part number if anyone interested
1K8 071 646 GRU
so. the big scary dsg oil change, filters, fluids, big service sorted... and the following day out for a 200 mile road trip. dirty winter mode and lovin' it
tried to change my cam follower and failed miserably so had to get help from Andy who sorted it on his day off - top chap and thank you. the wear on it wasn't too bad (pic below) but still glad i did it considering vw don't have it on their service/repair schedule and if it goes it's metal in the big end.
and tried something different that i shouldn't... went for the m.o.t and put some h&r springs on. hated them instantly - way too crashy for me. so back to the vwrs less than five days later. if it aint broke don't fix it i guess. did sit well though.
