I haven't noticed the dynamic lights bend yet.  I'm not in eco.  I get the cornering lights at low speed turns and the Xenons dance at startup.  Is this something you need to be above a certain speed to see?  I have had some trips on some long windy roads at night recently at 60mph+.  It may not be something that can obviously be noticed while driving?

Try them on main beam, you can see it clearer then.  Go into individual mode and make the lights go on sport just to confirm they are going to be moving as quick as they can.

So that's what sport does to the lights, I was curious. Any idea what sport does to the acc??

Fitted some boot sill film, took me 20 minutes but looks invisible.  However I've noticed a kink in my bumper, like someone has gone into it at low speed  :angry:

got round to getting some light tints done, now i know you're all thinking chavtastic but they are actaully very useful in stopping the clusters pitting after going up and down on the motorway alot. Anyway, result below:

Not for me but you should get some of those eyebrow things in white to make that look better, it would sharpen up the lines of the front...

Not too sure about those abt eyebrows they're a bit expensive and may be too chavtastic even for me, but I'm sure I'll get bored of the look at some point so maybe next year

I had hoped to use subtle tint from lamin X but they've stopped doing it and all they do now is smoked and yellow so I found this on fleabay http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=261115763316

Thanks Graham  :wink:

I've thought about doing my rears to give it the "R" look.

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:
