    Basically every electric item on the MK5 is controlled by the cars ECU,so every add on/modification made the ECU will know about it,those LED bulbs work on less resistance than halogen bulbs so the car in fact thinks there is no bulb there/or that the bulb there is blown,i think there are companies around that make bulbs with in built resistors to get around this problem 42draftdesigns is one that might.
