Did you notice the reference to Error Status:
Possible - if your vehicle is equipped with a bulb failure/canbus system, please request resistors.

Anyone know please ... ..

Yes I noticed at the last second so have ordered these instead

Looks to be a safer bet & says ok with my 2003 details entered in the search, let us know what you think of them Justin ...

Fitted my night breakers the other day, the bulbs i took out were osram normal bulbs but i have noticed a slight difference a slightly wider beam especially on full beam, they are a brighter white too

I have got mine through but they are not type approved, so technically illegal. I posted a question up on a Police forum asking if LED's are OK to use as side lights and they are, as long as they are EU type approved.

It does appear also that they will pass the MOT as the tester cannot check if they are E stamped, so don't let this fool you into thinking they are legal on the road...

As a result I might just go back to standard bulbs as LED side lights don't really offer anything more on top of the Osram Nightbreakers.

Thanks for the update Justin, best stay as I am then ........... :whistle:

I went out with them tonight and I got flashed up a few times so I think they are dazzling on coming drivers, so I am going to go back to standard sidelight bulbs. Funnily enough I was behind a Police car for a bit and they just turned off down a side street so they couldn't care less :laugh:
