Title: What do you think of these? Opinions please...
Post by: Ryan270286 on 23 June 2009, 19:03: I'm not usually a fan of upgrading lights etc, but I thought these looked quite good.

There are pictures halfway down the listing showing them on a GTI.

What's your opinion?

If you want to go down that route then IMO get either the darkened ED30/R32 rear lights or the proper VW LED ones.

Yes but those are still expensive for second hand.

You can buy new ones from Germany for â‚¬294 inclusive of postage from http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Original-VW-Golf-5-V-LED-Heckleuchten-Rueckleuchten-NEU_W0QQitemZ380131928555QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutoteile_Zubeh%C3%B6r?hash=item5881a0e9eb&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A30

Post by: jaydubveedub on 23 June 2009, 19:58: In my opinion, they look absolutely w*nk.

The OEM LED's look pretty good though, although not cheap at £280.

Never knew these were available.................

Post by: _Adam_ on 23 June 2009, 21:04: i really dont like tail lights to be un-symetrical. the fog on the left and reverse on the right really stands out too much for me :undecided:

Post by: Jimp on 23 June 2009, 21:20: I've seen the LED lights from the first post on a black mk5 and they look alright. Obviously not OEM, but not as bad as people think! In colours other than black though it would stick out a bit much, but on a black car they blended in really well.
