Would you want the version without rear fogs?
-

Would love to say I'm in... Would you send these to Canada? any idea on shipping? :smiley:
Shipping for the US and Canada service would be £50. (typical deliver times of 2-5 days depending how close you are to the airport hub).
For the versions without the fogs there is also an additional charge of £10 as these are special order for the UK.
So the total delivered would be £473 for the 4 Taillights (both inner lights with reverse only), plug and play wiring adapter and insured shipping :smiley:
-
Ok lets start a list: -
1 - GTD-Smurf
2 - tezyuk
3 - jdjd
4 - Extra Set for me
We have reach the minimum so will let it run for two more days and then send out the payment details and get the lights ordered :cool:
-
cool carnt wait :grin: :grin:

Hi Steve I am new excited member as I am expecting my carbon grey gti being delivered within next 10 days.. Can't wait. The dealer said I couldn't have the led rear lights but reading the forum suggests otherwise as I would want to fit them to mine. R the ones u can get the same spec as the ones from dealers? Thanx for any help on this. :smiley:
-
The Group Buy is offering original VW parts as used Golf R (i.e. Cherry Red Tinted). The ones that will be supplied with UK GTI/GTD later in the year are the same but aren't as dark/tinted.
These are also available if your interested, but the general opinion is the darker R line version this the way to go :cool:

Ok, let me check the fees and I will let you know via PM in a few mins :smiley:
-
Cheers thanx for the info. What's the price for a set with any adaptor? Do you know of anyone mr Exeter in Devon who could fit them? :smiley:
-
^^^ Is that without adapters???
Yes the person who help's me source the parts is very local to Exeter so I am sure he will be able to install and code these for you :cool:
-
Hi Steve,
I got your PM, ty! but for some reason I can't reply ack to it :sad: I'm cool with Pay Pal if that works with you let me know
TY
Rob
-
You need 10 posts to reply to PM's :wink:
-
Sigh... :grin:
-
No sorry the price with adaptors thanx. I agree the ones there fitting from wk22 don't look so good the darker R ones look sweet.
-
Group buy price includes the adapters :cool:
-
Ok to confirm is that £413 for the darker r lights? Is there any chance you'll b doing another gb, as I don't take delivery for approx 1 week/10 days...? :cool:
-
I might be but not for a couple of months :smiley:
-
Me me me don't forget me in your list :grin:

Just a quick question, are these lights suitable for standard 2009 build MK6 Golfs? (Non GTI) I heard that the light control unit may not be suitable even after Vagcom coding. Anyone shed some light on the issue before I part with the hard earned? Thanks.

He has fitted them to my bog standard non GTI mk6, they work like a charm!
-
Thanks willz,
You didn't over order by one set due to the last minute pull out (ooer) did you Steve? I'd be interested if you have a spare set. Thanks.
-
Sorry no, but I should be able to sort something out.
Once you have 10 posts PM me :smiley:
-
Thanks Steve, apologies for padding the thread, got to get 10 posts. Any idea of freight to Australia mate?
-
Due to the size of the lights when packaged up the shipping is around £62 plus insurance at about £5 :shocked:
-
im interested in these lights too but im wondering what do you guys do with the old lights?
also is there anyone who can help me fit these around Bristol, Chippenham area? thanks
-
^^^ I have someone in Somerset that can help with fitting.
I would say keep the lights for when you sell the car in the future and then you will be able to get some money back on the Golf R LED's :cool:
-
Hi,
First post here and just picked up a Gti for my wife. It's an MY10 build (Feb) and I saw somewhere on here a "how to" to install led's from the "R" showing wiring? can someone please direct me to that thread as I'm looking at ditching the povo pack lights the Aussie spec cars come with and getting the led's. I've checked the car and the fog is on the drivers side (RHD - same as UK) is this the case with the UK spec cars?
cheers
-
http://mk6.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=81.0
-
Thanks mate !
-
Any word on expected delivery?
-
The parts should all be available tomorrow and will then be shipped to you all early next week. :smiley:
-
I'd definitely be interested in a round three group buy for the R LEDs (if it happens), since I've missed out on this one. I'll also be up for any individual buy if there are any stock left.
-
yeh i also will be in for round three for sure :grin:
-
Just called the TPS, they are waiting for the 2 of the wiring connectors (for all 8 sets).
Should be in mid week. will get down there on sat to collect the lights, and get them out early next week.
:sad:
-
Can I pay u for Nxt day Special Delivery? Carnt b arsed waiting for standard royal mail.
-
I'd pay extra as well for next day delivery....? :grin:
-
It will already be dispatched via a next day couirer service :smiley:
But once the parts arrive with Stokeballoon he will ship the lights directly to you all and then forward the parts for the adapters to me for assembly.
I will turn these around within 24 hours and post these on to you all recorded delivery.
Sounds complicated but it's the easiest way :smiley:
-
All the lights for the UK cars are now here, just need your addresses please (I am missing two people's addresses) so please PM me if you haven't sent me your Address.
The remaining US spec light will be here next week for VWPartsguy17 :smiley:
-
Have they been posted?
-
Yes, the lights have been posted (for all those I received the addresses from).
I received the parts for the adapters too today so will be assembling these tomorrow and posting Monday morning :smiley:
-
The only address I am missing is Gizzy's :smiley:
-

Just a big thanks to SteveP for doing this great group buy. Received my lights today, so I cant wait for the adapters now so I can get them fitted. :grin:
-
Mr.P is a true gentleman and a scholar. :smiley:
.... and he has a beautiful car. :smiley:
-
Thanks Steve
Lights arrived today, awesome :smiley:
Hoping to hear from you in the near future re fitting.
Gizzy
-
Has everybody taken delivery now still waiting here, Must be an up north thing :S :shocked:
-
^^^ Can you PM me your real name so I can check.
Everyone should have there lights and the last two adapters will be delivered tomorrow or Saturday morning :smiley:

I have already done some legwork on this. The package is sat at the local office, due to them not being able to find the house. All the have is a house name, they cannot find it, tried 3 times, they need a number, or the package can be collected from the office using the ID number that has been PM'd to JD.
I have PM'd JD, to ask for a number, and I can pass this on to the courier.
:smiley:
-
Thanks for that, Collected them thismorning. However it was at the rotherham depot for some reason. Are these lights ready to install or am I missing some wires?
Again thanks for a great group buy
-
I'd definitely be interested in a round three group buy for the R LEDs (if it happens), since I've missed out on this one. I'll also be up for any individual buy if there are any stock left.
I'd definitely be interested in a group buy too.
One thing though, are these light compatible with a MK6 GT on a '09 plate. Everyone buying them seems to have a GTi so I am unsure if they will work on my car or not?

round 3 please :smiley:
-
Ok, just start a new list, max 5 this time as the last one because a bit of a logistical nightmare and it caused delays in getting the parts out to everyone :smiley:
-
SteveP, can you confirm that these lights will work on my car please? MK6 1.4 GT, May 2009 plate (not sure of build date). Cheers
-

Yes they work on all Mk6 Golf's, just need coding to the car using VCDS / VAGCOM (see http://www.mk6golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,81.0.html for the install instructions)
If your any where around the midlands, london or somerset then I can arrange installation too :smiley:
-
Ah that's sweet. Thanks SteveP. I live up north - Merseyside, but may have to take you up on your installation offer as I don't know of anyone in the area who has VAGCOM. Thanks for the supplied link too :smiley:
-
ok SteveP can you PM the details please thanks
p.s i love the Nurburgring pics, makes me have seconds thoughts on my white one :grin:
-
Once we can get 3-4 people signed up I will send out the payment details :smiley:

-
Just to confirm Exonian's post, I am definitely in for the group buy. :smiley:
-
bump..
-
Yeah, definitely count me in for the Round 3 LED tail lights. :grin:
I presume this group buy is opting for the darker 'R' style LEDs right?
Steve/Stokeballoon - please post me payment details when the list is finalized - muchas gracias.

Hmmm, 4 sets of must-have lights up for sale and 5 buyers. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! :grin:

I'm in
-
Hi Steve, i'm also in. Providing i can get a set.
-
PM sent to you Steve. :smiley:
-
Well I think all five of us are in Steve.
If necessary I'll sit this one out, I missed the last group buy by a day or so due to my internet connection going tits up so I might as well be the sacrificial lamb in this GB if all the others are ready to pay.
If anyone else isn't ready to pay I'm still in :cool:

A very magnanimous gesture. I was going to post a link to eBay Germany, where there are loads of them, but then I remembered you need RHD lights... :embarassed: Oh well, here it is anyway, if you're interested. Some of the sellers might be able to get you the RHD set, why not ask them.

Sorry Exonian for missing out again. That's a magnanimous gesture as stated by FroGTI.

Just about to pick up my MK6 GTI on 1st July, I would be interested in the next batch.

Is it new, and if so do you know your build week, as yours may even have them standard.
-
Unfortunately not, three months old, so I suspect build week sometime Jan/Feb
-
OK, I have sent all the people who recently expressed interest the payment details with the current price (up by a few £ due to VW increases).
The first 4 would get theirs quicker but I can take more orders at the same time but these may take an extra week or so to deliver. This is because I pre-ordered the connector parts for the first 4 orders to help speed things up.
Once the payments are in then I will be able to confirm exactly delivery timescales, but hopefully it should be within 10-15 days. :smiley:
-
All done :smiley:
-
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=148663.0
Second round starts today.
Expected delivery time is 10-14 days from order.
We need a minimum of 4 people in before we can place the order :smiley:
Should this not be round three?
I get confusd easily. :wink:
-
All paid
I haven't even got my car yet and you guys have started me on the modding slippery slope already.. :evil:
-
Just transferred my money for the LEDs.

Thanks guys, all four payments have been received and the order will be placed tomorrow morning :smiley:
I will be picking the connector parts I pre-ordered for these while I am at Inters so these will be made up next week and as soon as the lights arrive from VW these will be dispatched to you. :cool:
-
Nice one Steve :smiley: and thanks for the update. Can't wait to get em!!!
-
Hi Steve,
Can you put me down for the next batch please, I believe that'll be
Round Three.
Cheers
-
Hey guys,
I'm interested in doing this upgrade. How much will it cost and who has the tools to fit and program?
Cheers
-
Can anyone confirm the VCDS coding required for 2010 GTI with retro fitted R LED's?
If Halogen is it Byte 18 changed to 15 or 43?
Is Xenon different?
Thanks in advance
-
Can someone give me the details of the prices please?
-
From what I paid, as part of the Round Two group buy, it's £432.50, including P&P. But that figure could increase in the next group buy perhaps due to higher demand for the LEDs and further manufacturing/component costs.

That is great, thanks.
I am getting a price from the local dealer but he tells me that they don't need any wiring adapters, would that be right?
-
That's incorrect all cars I have seen up to now have required adapters. What car do you have?
-
Steve, Any news yet when you are able to get the LEDs? BTW I am Henry. I contacted you by email yesterday. Thanks
-
Sitrep an the current GB.
The lights are all here (5 sets), we are waiting on a couple of repair wires. We have enough for 4 sets, just waiting on the 5th set to arrive. They should be here tomorrow/friday, when here we will get them all together and get them out.
The looms for the 4 sets are being made up, i am hoping to get 4 sets of lights out by the weekend.
Hope that makes sense.
-
That's incorrect all cars I have seen up to now have required adapters. What car do you have?
I have a GTD, 2010 model.
-

I have a GTD, 2010 model.
Then you will certainly need the adapter. :smiley:

I might have missed it while reading the other posts so apologies for my next question.
Are these adapters something that VW make or do you make these yourself?
-
You can't buy them off the shelf from VW but you can buy the parts to make them :smiley:
-
Cool. I will have to try to get some money together and get these bought.
My dealer is telling me he can get the LED units that will just fit straight on. Will I need the adapters as my car was made before they came as standard?
-
From everything I know about these lights there is currently no plug and play version that doesn't require an adapter.
I have supplied nearly 20 sets of these lights to owners of various models and all have required adapters.
-
Are there 2 different shades of LED lights available?
Does the R have darker versions?
-

Yes the R ones are darker and the one's to go for. :smiley:
-
Cool, that's what I thought. I have ordered the R versions - cherry red apparently?
-

Well, depends on the cherry. :wink:
Anyway, much more stylish looking than tarty looking GTi LEDs IMO.
-
According to the latest version of ETKA, the GTI and R LEDs are the same part number
(http://www.thewindinglane.co.uk/images/mk6gti/leds.jpg)
-
^^^ Nope that's the GTI Edition (aka Edition 35) and not the GTI we currently have. If you look further down the list in ETKA you will find the GTD/GTI version :smiley:
-
I see, so I am part way there to my Edition 35 :laugh:
-
Received my lights today and must say a huge THANKS to SteveP and stokeballon for the arranging and distribution of this group buy.
First rate service :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
Can't wait to get them fitted and they look totally cool :tongue: All I can say is that if you don't have em then you gotta get them :grin:
Cheers
-
Mine are still in Manchester :cry:
Northern Ireland is shut Monday and Tuesday so looks like next Wednesday or Thursday before I get them :sad:
-
Once the coding has been done so the bulb out warning doesn't show, would it have to be undone if i changed back to the halogen set? Or wouldn't it matter? I'm askin cos if (when) i get a set, if i change my car i'd take them off and sell them on.
-
You need to set the hex value to 03 and then 00 to get it back to standard :smiley:
-
Ok mate thanks.
-
got mine fitted today and i am so chuffed with them
awesome stuff
thanks to Steve and Dave :cool:
-

Where are you and who are you using to do the coding??
-
I am in Dromore (Co. Down), doing the coding myself, I have a VCDS cable :smiley:
Lights now in Belfast, Consignee on Holiday :sad:
-
:cry: need some help guys!!
Finally fitted my new LED lights and they look awesome. Been waiting for my mate to come around with VCDS hence the delay.
Tested the lights and all four sets were working fine, brakes working, fog, reverse and indicators all worked.
Next we went about the coding and set byte 18 to hex value of 04 but this didn't fix the errors. Tried coding as 05 but no joy and then tried 15. 15 removed the errors but now I have another problem.... both outer rear light clusters are now not working and neither is my nearside front side light!
My mate is relatively new using VCDS and doesn't really know how to fix this, if he even can?
We reset the coding back to 00 in the hope that this may fix the problem but no joy. :cry:
Anyone got any suggestions?
-
I think setting it to 00 means no change.
Did you try setting it to 04 again.
-
Setting it to 03, then 00 should reset it back to the stock setting.
What errors where you getting on 04 coding?
-
Thanks Mike.
Just set it to 04 again and the lights are now working again but I still have the bulb out warning lights and error codes in VCDS. Also now get a message from the MFD telling me to check rear fog light as bulb is out and now the rear fog is not working :sad:
To top it all it has now started to chuck it down so I'm afraid rain has stop play until tomorrow. Any other suggestions/remedies most appreciated.
Steve - I will try a reset as you describe tomorrow after I get home from work to see if that helps with the fog light.
The error codes were telling me that I had bulbs out in all the rear clusters.
-
When you first plug them in VCDS will show error codes on all parts of the lights, if you clear these codes what errors are you left with?
-
Aha, I will get back to you tomorrow with what errors remain after clearing the codes. Cheers Steve
-
So I'm not the only one with a few ECU vs rear LED issues then? :cry:
Still got to take my hat off to Steve and Dave for arranging the group buys brilliantly and a special thanks to Dave for his patience and persistance with my ghost fog light.
-
I have a set of lights from the same batch as both of yours here so I am going to test these today just to make sure it's nothing related to them.
Dave7268 - Please can you do a full autoscan with VCDS and send me the text file (steve at mk5golfgti dot co dot uk)
-
Also Dave, which version of VCDS did you use?
-
If I install the light units without getting the coding done for a day or 2, will this mess anything up or will I just have 'bulb out' warnings?
I read that the computer can cut the power to certain lights if it thinks they are blown so I wouldn't fancy driving tonight with no lights :sad:
-
Steve, I have sent you an email.
For the record, the reset has fixed the lights not working issue and I have set byte 18 to 04 again and everything appears to be working okay apart from the error codes which I can't get rid off and my mfd is telling me to check the rear right fog light. Bulb out warning light is still present on the dash.
-
Hi Dave,
Got your email and have replied.
Being 100% honest it's looking like there is an early batch of Mk6's with a BCM (central Electrics controller) that is not able to support the LED's properly.
If this is the case then I will, of course, offer a full refund.
If your able to meet me tomorrow (as per the details in the email) then I will be able to confirm this :cry:
Cheers,
SteveP

Oo err
Darren is finally fitting my LEDs and RNS510 on Sunday, my car is from July 2009, do you think I may have this problem too?
Gizzy
-
^^^ July 2009 should be fine (mine is from July 09 as well).
It's the very early Pre May 09 cars it appears that have the earlier BCM :undecided:

Mine is a May 09 registered car, so that sort of confirms my suspicions.
Ah well, I'll worry about it at a later date - off on me hols tomorrow :cool:

Hmmm, we shall know tomorrow. I am so hoping it isn't so cos I will be gutted :cry:
If that is the case then there is nothing I can do about it except save up like mad and buy a newer build car! LOL, and somebody else can enjoy the lights. They look so cool too :drool:
Don't suppose it's possible to swap out the BCM for a newer version? Totally wishful thinking!!!!
-
^^ Yes the BCM can be swapped but it's around £200 IIRC :shocked:
I have been working on a cunning plan tonight so fingers crossed for the morning :cool:
-
Hmmm, £200 wouldn't be too bad if it would defo work - it's an alternative if your cunning plan is not quite cunning enough (don't want to jinx you) :lipsrsealed:
Catch you in the morning :wink:
-
Mmmm,
that's interesting. Mine was a build week 25 I think, which is late June and a MY10 build. Mine have coded OK at byte 18 to 04. Maybe its a MY09 compatibility issue.
-
Steve, nice to meet you and thanks for your help yesterday and I'm chuffed to bits that my lights are all working. Now we just gotta sort out the dash problem.
Any chance you could find out the part number for the BCM that I would need to get to replace my existing one - should it come to that! My be worthwhile calling a few breakers yards to see if there are any floating around out there as Mike suggested. Oh nice to meet you too Mike :smiley: hope your lights and remap are sorted out :wink:

I think mine is definately one of the ones with the earlier BCM. My lights were the ones fitted at Dave's house a few weeks ago just a couple of days before I flew out on holiday. When the engine is started the rear fog light flashes a few times and a warning comes up on the computer along with a bulb out indicator. I'll keep an eye on whether over time this causes power to be cut to other bulbs, but having just driven back from Gatwick a few days ago I've got used to the bulb out light being on all the time so will run with it.
The car is due a service very soon so it will be interesting to see what the dealer says about it. Probably just give me a bollocking for modifying my car followed by a lecture of how 'unsafe' it now is :grin: :rolleyes:
Anyway the car looks much nicer with the new lights. Interstingly though, my car lights up all four lights when the brakes are applied (similar to some of the motor show cars that had them fitted last year by VW) where Steve's car in his youtube vid only has the outer lights illuminate more brightly when the brakes are applied.

Mine's the same mate. All four lights come on under breaking but the outer lights are brighter than the inner ones and I have noticed that my front side lights are not as bright now either. Only noticed this the other day when driving after dusk.
Seriously considering replacing my bcm with a newer version as expensive as that may be, bulb warning light and message are starting to get on my nerves :tongue:. SteveP - any recommendations on which version of the bcm I should get?
-
^^^ Check your PM's as there might be a workaround for this :smiley:

Cheers Steve. Will post results tomorrow....

Hi Steve
Tried those settings but to no joy. :sad: Actually tried several times but I am still getting bulb out warning light on dash, check rear fog light message in MFD and also when you start up the fog light rapidly flickers on several times for a few seconds. The VCDS autoscan shows - 09-Cent. Elect. -- Status: Malfunction 0010, but doesn’t report any fault codes....

My outer lights appear slightly brighter than the ones on the tail-lift, though only the outer brakes lights are coming on now. Front side lights are now much brighter.
Back to the drawing board?
-
Exactly the same as mine.
I reckon the only fix for this that doesn't involve a new control module is having a bulb wired into the fog light circuit.
-
^^^ I am working on revised loom with a resistor built in.
Thanks for trying the other coding Dave.
