Dont have a link to those but try this one

ebay Item number 141191988703

2 bulbs set (a pair)

Colour: Cool White
Direct replacement for a standard H21W BAY9s 433D bulbs
Use mainly for fog, indicator and reverse lamps
Brightness Efficiency: 210 LM
Operating Voltage: 12V
Total length: 39mm

IMPORTANT!! These bulbs have already built in resistors and are compatible with "bulb failure" Can-Bus System in 90% of cars , But some modern cars ECU-s can be very picky and you may need to fit extra resistors to eliminate on dashboard computer error message.

Yeah :) These are the ones I found also. I think these are the best bulbs for rear fog lights.

Thought i'd do a proper breakdown as to what is needed for a full LED conversion. This covers the ST FR, SC FR and SE 5DR - If your car is not either of these then please confirm your bulb figment with the following link http://am-application.osram.info/publish/index_en.html and your owners manual.

501s

i personally recommend these http://partsulike.co.uk/index.php?ma...roducts_id=261 They are more than bright enough for all applications and there are some sensible colour choices available too. Personally went for white for everything except the footwells where i went with red.

Festoons​

I personally have these http://partsulike.co.uk/index.php?ma...roducts_id=109 if you wish to purchase them from elsewhere they are 36mm however if you are a couple of mm out you can always bend the contacts.

H8 or H11​

Again personally i got these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2613411379...84.m1439.l2649 which are insanely bright and well worth the investment.

The MK3 actually uses H8s but these are 35w max. you can fit H11's with no issue but you will need to either bend or cut the centre locating tab on the outside ring of the bulb in order to ensure the correct fitment. We don’t want people shooting down aeroplanes now do we!

1156/PY21W​

Personally i have used these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2611696833...84.m1439.l2649 Other members have used the same with some locating them from China cheaper, though this can mean a longer wait.

7505/381/BAU15S​

Personally i have used these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1612681875...84.m1439.l2649 again others have used the same or have located them from China.

TORO
the list above is correct except the last Two items
Rear fog light requires a BAY9S and Reverse light is BAX9S
So One of each is required

This is based upon my ST FR so may not be applicable to over cars.



Sun visors/footwells/bootlight:

There is a notch on the lense, with a small flat blade screwdriver lift the lense out.

The bootlight has a metal shield, (the footwells have plastic shields) around the bulb. Once you have removed the light from the hole you will see there is a clip you need to hold to release the shield.

Front Map lights:

Carefully prise the plastic trim off around the button starting from an outer edge using a flat blade screwdriver.

Rear courtesy lights:

Carefully prise out the clear plastic with a flat blade screwdriver. Take your time and do it by feel.

Rear fog/reverse light:

If you open the boot you will see two plastic doors on the bottom corners. These slide out to the left/right respectively and you can then unscrew the bulb holder from the light unit.

Rear indicators:

If you look inside the boot you will see a small square cloth cover behind each light unit. Behind this is a flat head bolt. Remove this completely, then remove the light unit in an arc starting from the back. Unclip the harness and lay the unit in the boot whilst you remove the cover to change the bulb.

Front fogs:

You will need to put full steering lock on in the direction of the bulb you're looking to change. There are then 3 torx head screws in the arch liner. Remove these and bend the arch liner to get in. Unclip the lead from the bulb then twist the bulb to release. Right hand side is the easiest as the left you will either need small hands or a friend to hold the washer bottle back whilst you get your hand in.

The problem would be it won't be red I guess.

I would like to find a nice red led bulb, not white.
