EDIT: Misread your post...the link I provided are for OEM type replacements. They are just incandescent bulbs.

I haven't read about anyone replacing the bulbs with LED's, although every other bulb has been done, so why not...

I checked with 42dd and I asked them if the 14.5v White 39mm Fuse Style LEDs work on my b5 Audi A4?

They told me: "Due to the comfort control module in your car these LED’s will not work for you, the comfort control module sees the LED’s are drawing much less power than a normal bulb and thinks they are burnt out causing them to flash. Once we come up with a solution to this we will let everyone know!"

Mexican47, What LEDs are you using?

I think what you have to do is get resistors to put in with them, to draw the extra power.
