I have the U38048R (380) bulbs (buy in pairs it's cheaper) fitted. http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/u38048r-stop-ta...-1134.html
they work 100% and have a much higher output than standard filament bulbs.
I also fitted the U5015HPW-501/194/T10 Mini Light Tower 5 x WA HB Leds to the front sidelights and rear number plate lights. They give a bright zenon-ish appearance to those and look really good
As mentioned before use code for a 10% discount if ordering

To use LEDs in the turn signals you will need to replace the Flasher Unit as the lode on it is to low you can buy this here http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/complete-flashe...p-978.html
As my car is Lugano Blue I use U5016CWW(501) Custom 5Whi 1Blue Leds Wide Angle For the interior
and U5015HPW-501/194/T10 Mini Light Tower 5 x WA HB Leds for the parking front lights the back number plate and under all the doors and last but not least the boot lightI used this one 380 48r-stop-tail for the back and stop lights but I dont see them on there web they may have stoped makeing them so try this one there much the same but with 25 lights not 48 
Take some time to look at all there site I spent a lode there for lights for the house as well as the car

I haven't found any suitable replacement for the side lights, but can confirm that the DISCOVER10 code for ultraleds is still working (used it yesterday) ...

do the led's just plug in the bulb sockets or do you need to buy new light units?

I think LED bulbs are much better as they illuminate quicker and have a lifespan longer than the car, but aren't they illegal unless they are E marked. Not sure if these are, can anybody check before I get some.
I know that Xenon light upgrades are illegal unless you upgrade the lenses for specific xenon units and you have auto levelling. When I say Xenon, I mean the gas discharge upgrades, not the filament bulbs with xenon gas. There was an article in Auto Express about it.
For xenon bulbs they really rated the Halfrauds one's.

I have a feeling the U38048R led for stop/brake lights x4 have been discontinued. The links posted above no longer work. If true it's a shame, I've been recommending them because they work so well in my D3 reflector. Anybody got a number for what might replace them?
