On a more technical note can 24v sidelight bulbs be used?

Why? They are going to be VERY dim! 12-14V power supply is going to struggle to light a 24V bulb....

If your swapping to leds then i think you will need load resistors. I put leds in my number plate and they worked well but the dash flashed up error

Ah right, asked some ppl before and they said didnt throw up errors on the dash??

Any way of turning the error code off do you have to chop wires and install resistors?

I only did the numberplate and as it threw up errors i put it back to standard. You can swap the interior ones to leds which is what i have done. I have xenon white in all the lights apart from the boot and the sun visor lights. I think some leds you buy come with built in resistors but cost alot more.
