No I think those tailpipes are what comes with the facelift. Go on, a small wager on that one ;-)

How do you know have you seen this before?  :cry: It still has exactly the same rear lights, which is odd because they will 99.9% be getting changed on the facelift.

I thought only the headlights were getting changed. Not seen/heard anything regarding the tail lights.

Standard VAG facelift. The FL A3 and Seat Leon has got new front and rear lights. (and bumpers)

Surely the Golf must be getting solid LED rears in place of the current individual LEDs? Even the Octavia, pre facelift Leon and pre facelift A3 (A3 from 2009 in fact) have the solid LED rear lights.

Yes, somewhere else on another article posted here.

Remember the latest photo is an American car - their GTI's don't even have Xenons, so maybe not LED lights.

The earlier article I refer to said LED highlights, so I'd assume tail lights too - maybe with the sexxxxxy Audi scrolling lights - I do hope so, I love those!

The Audi scrolling lights are an option even on the s3 so no way it'll be a standard thing on the face lift.

Don't the American GTI/R's come with Xenon fronts but non-LED rear? They refer to ours as the Euro spec rear lights.

The Audi scrolling lights (dynamic) are standard on the new S-Line + S3, along with LED headlights, but rears only. If you want the dynamic indicators on the front you have to spec the Matrix LED front headlights as an extra.

There's no way the Golf will get those indicators, one of those things to keep Audi the ''premium'' VAG brand.

This reads more like Golf mk8 than a facelift...

I see they have just updated the Octavia with full led headlamps

Along with the new headlights comes full LED technology to replace the previous bi-xenon + LED daytime running lights of the pre-facelift Octavia.

so new golf must get them  :whistle:
