Hi Mike, and welcome to PW!
We def. need some pics of your car!
About the bulbs, there are several suppliers of the bright white LED. All of the interior bulbs is possible to change into LED, also the puddle lights. If you have those. The licenseplate bulbs needs a dummy-load or LEDs that are designed for the canbus cars. For instance the Zeta from ECStuning.
Just remember to buy LEDs that give light sideways since several bulbs are mounted this way.
Enjoy your car! I`ve had mine TDI for 3 years now, and is still in love with it

About the wheels, I`ll leave that to any familiar with the English laws, I guess the Norwegian laws are different.

 

Hi KlausJ, thanks for your reply!

I havent got any pics of my car, yet, but I shall get some up, shes a beauty, and drives and pulls very very well. I spent a few hours on Friday detailing the engine bay and im happy with the way it came up, ive got one picture of that, see below! As for the liscene plate bulbs, would these work?: http://www.convert2xenon.co.uk/led-products/261-2xsmd-36mm-canbus-festoon-high-power-led-bulb.html

Congrats on the new car! What are the specs on the TDI (HP/TQ/MPG)? We don't get the TDI option over here in the states.

As far as wheels go, 19x8.5" is the typical largest size that most people go with - you can go wider in the rear if you want to run a "staggered" setup. Some people run 20" diameter but it's rare and I think that is too large for the B6 aesthetically. You'll also want a drop if you go that large (18"+).

Stock largest size is 18x8", like the Samarkand, Sirocco/Interlagos, etc. Google those names for tons of pictures.

Post more pictures when you can!

 

Interior bulbs:

Front map lights:
outers use W5W. Not sure if yours has a center festoon bulb (mine didn't).

Rear map lights
all 2-3 (depending which style you have) uses W5W bulb

Bulbs:
www.powerbulbs.co.uk --- pick one, Osram Cool Blue or Philips BlueVision. Pretty much the same.

I prefer LEDs.

 

thanks dark helmet, very very helpful that.

 

if i upgrade to LED interior bulbs do I need to fit resistors, or is it stragith swap?

 

straight swap for the map lights

 

thanks mate, what about the other lights? ie the vanity and boot lights?

 

All the festoon bulbs are plug and play. So are the 501s. I have LEDs all round. I recomened buying from the same seller as colours tend to be different.
