:woot:. Tune + intake - Should be some nice kilowasps there.

Yep. Tried to organise a dyno but my mechanic didn't have time. I know of a GTI running the same tune with a DP and it did 203kw.

I had a look, and yes, those are def the ones I put in the map lights. (I have a pano roof, so my rears are festoon ones, not those ones). Odd yours has some residual current....

thanks for checking mate, I got word from ledperf here's a picture of what they recommended doing with the resistors - all seems fixed now

Ok another note what's with all the noises when the car unlocks/locks

Even with a resistor it would run the battery down.

Might pull them out in that case

I believe it's just the fuel pump priming the line before you start the car and if you have xenons it might be the ballasts too.

Yeah when I get in, fuel pump prime is noticeable.

the mk2 does the same thing.
only happens when the drivers door is opened.

If there is a residual current flowing through the map lights then it surely it won't make any difference whether the bulb is LED or incandescent.
The voltage is probably too low to light the filament on the incandescent, but can just support an non-resistor LED.
The interior lights or not simple on/off but attached to a fade up/down system, so maybe yours (or anyone's?) does not entirely switch off when it fades down?
It might also be a 'feature'. Failed exterior bulbs can be detected even when switched off so there must be some residual current allowed through to detect any failure.
Basically I am saying that any drain will probably be minimal and you may as well put the LEDs in having bought them, or at least check with the dealer if there is a problem.
