I know this is a bit of a marmite mod but I think I like it. It will only take take 2 mins to change back if I get bored  :whistle: :whistle:
I would have had this one licked a couple of weeks ago as I had planned to just change the bulbs as I had done in my Scirocco but the Mk7 has got sealed Led bulb holders rather than a bulb and holder.
Thanks to Sootchucker for the advice but eBay let me down. I couldn't find any bulb holders anywhere on there so bit the bullet and went to my local VW dealer thinking my under crackers would be around my ankles within seconds but no !!
2 genuine lamp units were only £9.12 each.    Part No:  V7L0 947 415
Delivered next day.
Excuse the poor photos but iPads don't do dark !! But you get the idea.

Waited till it was lighter to change the bulbs I see lol good colour match?

Ha, well like you get bored so just ordered as set  :smiley:

Colour wise when you're looking at them outside (i.e. at the unit) they match perfectly, inside they look a little blue.  Perhaps the white would've been better?  Are the bulbs the same as for the fogs do you know?  Perhaps I'll order a white set if so.

Excellent work, I was trying to find some on ebay but no luck either.   Definitely my next mod :)

What do you mean by the fogs monsta? And I've never really seen them from inside the car only looked from the outside at them, maybe White will be better

The fog lights in the bumper, are they LED or Halogen?

Whipped off the side badges the other day. I've never really been a fan of them, so popped them both off  :smiley:

Gave my car a thorough clean and then a top-up C2V3 coat as the original coat now 7 months old was losing its water repellency. First time i've washed the car since it was taken to Benfield Silverlink to sort the snagging door seals under warranty. What do I see on the passenger wing (the same side the doors were sorted)? Within 1 square inch area there are 4 chips that have been crudely touched up with some clear lacquer - those feckers must have done it while sorting out my door - i'll be giving them a piece of my mind tomorrow, although they'll probably deny it. That's me done with Benfield - no more servicing or warranty work from me. Their bodyshop ruined my MK5 70TDI GT Sport with a very poorly executed repair, Scotswood road branch took my GTD out for a 28 mile joyride on a lunchtime following replacement of my suspension mount bearings on the morning, and now this.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
