The back bulbs are a pain to change. Wear some gloves because the metal bracket under the seat is sharp. Be gentle with the housing because the tabs are easy to break. Use VCDS to enable the interior lighting controls on the MMI.

They where very easy to change out, you just have to watch polarity, if they don't work when you put them in, turn them 180 degrees and they will work, love the white color. If you've never done anything like this, YouTube has videos on how to do it.

I am very savvy mechanically so installing should not be an issue. I just wanted to know if you got errors of any kind. I know there's another vendor on the forum that sells the error free Led bulbs also but pricing is around $100 for his package vs this for $20 trying to figure out the big differences here and your eBay vendor is also saying error free and giving 1year warranty which is not bad. You can actually buy them 5 times over and it would still be less. I might take a chance and see I did ask him a few questions regarding the smooth fade in and out like factory lights . Do they fade in and out smoothly or very harsh?
