I experienced, for the first time, driving in the rain with my recently GTechniq G1 treated glass - superb! Above 45mph wipers no longer needed   :laugh:

Looking good, AutoGlym glass polish and Rain X does a similar job but maybe not as good  :smiley:

I thought ours were already darkened? Is the R darker? Show us when you do it
I too thought that the GTi and Golf R rear lights are the same units, its only the front headlight units which have the twin Uu and LED turn signal strips.  :nerd:

hmmm, anyone else think these look darker.... http://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/led-rear-light-set-vw-golf-7-r-genuine-volkswagen-exterieur.htm

Almost certain the R lights are darker than the GTI as with previous models. Wouldn't like to say for sure until i see one next to the other though.
