Hi mate,

You will probably need an in-line resistor for each bulb if you dont want the bulb failure warning to be on all the time.

i have them and its fine without resistor:confused:

Ah fair do's ive not used the ones from autobulbs direct, but normally if you put bog standard LED bulbs in a Mk2 or 2b sidelights you get the bulb failure warning light up.

They only draw less that 1w compared to the 5w of a normal filament 501 bulb. Normally it sets it off, but obviously not in this case.

EDIT: its no biggie if it does anyway, just fit one of these each side. http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/led-resistor
