Post by: DazVR6 on 01 October 2010, 17:40: Yup should be fine, used to run similar on my old 16v.

BTW you will probably need to re-seal them because the sealant from the factory is crap and lets in water that causes them to steam up, just buy some silicone sealant and re-eal them.

Post by: dom on 01 October 2010, 17:56: If you leave them as indicators they will be fine, however if you intend to wire them us as running lights (as it says you can in the ad) then thats a bit of a grey area :undecided:

Post by: Golf_GT_TDI on 01 October 2010, 19:44: I bought exact same ones last week, 6/10 for quality/fit, 10/10 for looks, I didn't wire up the running lights though didn't see the point.
