Seems like I'm the only one not bothered about these? I have a red car and thing the standard lights look fine. yes these look sweeter but not the sort of mod i'll be doing as the car will then externally be modified.

I think if I didn't have a red car the need would be increased though....
Title: Re: **** Group Buy - OEM Golf R LED Taillights ****
Post by: FroGTI on 23 March 2010, 08:33
I see things the other way around: not having the LEDs makes your car look out of date and/or you like a cheapskate for not shelling out for the option. I agree, though, that they don't look at their best on red.

Nah, I can defo see the appeal but I don't want my car to look modified externally. However the stock lights really blend into the red bodywork and I can imagine that stick out like cherry beacons on yours so I think if I had white (or any other colour) i'd defo do it. seems like a good deal though!

Steve, probably a daft question but do the connectors you get with the lights just clip onto the ones in the car? or do the factory fitted ones have to be cut? the reason i ask is that i'm interested in a set (might be a while) but i'd like to change them back if i sell the car without too much muckin about.
Sorry if this has been covered.
Title: Re: **** Group Buy - OEM Golf R LED Taillights ****
Post by: SteveP on 26 March 2010, 20:57
They are plug and play adapters, so no cutting of the original wires/connectors is required  :smiley:

Update time.

I hope to be collecting everything towards the end of this week.  I will then post the repair wires and connector housings to Steve P for assembly.

The lights I will box up, and send out to you all.  I will request addresses later this week.  They will be sent Via DHL, if this is not suitable and you would rather another courier then let me know in the address email.

that looks like a GTI or R from the back.  :rolleyes:

Yes from behind in real life and in the dark it does.

There was one in front of me the other day and I had to race in front juts to see what it was.

In fact I think the new Polo looks the same as the Golf from certain angles head on when it is on the road.

Well I dont know about you or anyone else, but I can tell the difference between 2 set of LED lights on either side of the car (GTI/R) over 1 set on either side on this. Plus the fact they are feckin huge, almost the size of the back window height.

One of the connectors is on back order in total (none received as yet 6/4 date given by TPS), and we are waiting for a single wire for one kit.

My plan is to box the lights up ready for collection, and collect all the wires on Wed and get them to Steve by 1st class for loom make up.

Thanks for the patience guys.

I read on another forum that reversing the struts causes them to rub slightly on the body work. The poster also stated that after a few times of using the auto tailgate, it became sporadic of whether the tailgate would actually lift on its own, before finally only lifting the tailgate once in every ten times.

When he went to reverse the struts and put it back to the way it was, he found rust had started  :cry:

Am I right in assuming that if you want to open a different door than the driver door (as programmed pressing twice for all doors)
say e.g. for your mother in law, the hatch automatically opens and lifts up ...besides the fact that your mother in law may pick this up as a sign how you feel about her......it seems to me a bit annoying and out of control...

Don't think it works like that. A double press will only open the doors not the hatch although I could be wrong as I have mine on one press opens all doors, and although it unlocks the hatch it doesn't actually click open, like if you pressed the middle button on your remote. As that physically opens the hatch slightly.

I have the redder version of the Led Tail Light on carbon steel grey and I get a lot of cool remarks...it really makes the car a lot more interesting....especially if you have your leaving home/follow me home function on..... :cool:

How or how did you get the redder version?
Now, that I really want. :smiley:

I ordered the car with the optional GTI Tail Leds...When they were in December only since a week available.. :cool:

Because of were he lives they will be a factory option for the GTI.

Why can't we in the UK be part of the European Circus? :rolleyes:
Can we not somehow get these from a VW dealer? Surely it can't be that difficult to source?
I WANT the REDDER ones NOW!
P-L-E-A-S-E.

A version for right hand drive cars is now available according to ETKA, so if your interested I can get them at a similar price to the R group buy  :wink:

The R version are also listed for the GTI "Edition" model, so looks like they will be standard fit on the ED35  :cool:

Second observation is there are two versions of the LED's now, one for cars built upto 26/04 and a revision for car built after this  :nerd:

Hi SteveP:
Yes I am interested.
But first I have to get my RNS 510 + FISCON.
Then I will do the rear lights.

Snoopy: yes, I meant the original small rear lights (before 1979, I believe).

BTW, nice comparison of the dark v pink LEDs. Dark win hands down, IMHO.

I've seen them in person and they are really very bright red - almost pink. Certainly a lot brighter than the picture above would have you believe.

In this photo of the 'pink' LEDs on a red GTI, the camera is shooting against a bright white background (snow). This makes the subject (the lights) appear darker than they really are.

(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b361/flogitg/AudioNetPhoto/MK6%20Golf/gti-484q5.jpg)

I don't think they will ever look as nice as the darker R blocks, irrespective of the colour of the paintwork. But maybe I have acquired continental tastes: the English tend to try to match colours up, whereas the Continentals go for contrast.

I read in the VagCom section on uk-mkiv's that each cable could only be used with one laptop - otherwise you had to have it re-assigned for about £100.  Is that p1sh?!  I was concerned that one day my laptop would die and I'd have to pay to re-register it with another one!

Kev, the dealer probably would do it for you but charge an arm and leg. Especially if that is all it is going in to the garage for as you are taking up one of their avalaible slots. I think if you were getting it serviced or some warranty work done they would probably do it for free.

I'm sure someone on here mentioned £75 plus have the car for half a day!  I'd rather fork out and buy the VAG COM myself than give them that.

The price quoted was missing VAT, so by the time it was added on it was still about £235.
I ended up just buing from MI - as they were £250 including free shipping, and it came with a disk, case and manual.  The GB one was JUST the cable.

Haven't heard anything back.  I guess you could all chip in and post one back and forth to whoever needs it.  Not sure how well that would work with 10 people that you don't 'reall' know anything about though?!

You can use the lead with ANY laptop providing you download the software from Ross Tech

The license is built into the lead itself

I've used my lead on several laptops with no problems whatsoever  :nerd:

Ross tech are creating their official coding guide that's all. They have been asking for people who have don the retro fit to email a scan of their car so they can confirm the configurations that work.

Only the lights are coded to your car you get no bulb out warnings on the dash board.

Neil are the lights adjustable?
The second picture down / drivers side / outside light, looks a lot higher than the inner fog light.

Just been out to check  :embarassed:
they are inline so it must be the way the pic turned out cos they arn't adjustable
there is a gap under both outside lights but they are all like that  :sad: dont know if the R bumper is a slightly different shape or there is a gap under them aswell, but you can't tell unless you look for it  :wink:

I like the splitter (on silver, wouldn't show on mine), but I'm not keen on the red & chrome GTI lettering on the grill - looks like a TDI badge :sad:

Agreed - the wheels really suit the body colour; very nice!

Wheels look great! I'm considering them as my second pair. What's the size of those wheels? :) I prefer the silver GTI badge though. Not sure about the splitter. It probably looks better in real light. In the picture it's hard to see it. At a glance it looks like the front of a US GTI without a splitter.
