Hi
I'm the proud new owner of a set of rear R LEDs. :smiley: :cool: :smiley:
At the minute I don't have access to a cable to code them. :cry:
As I'm like a kid at Christmas, my question is: -
Can I fit them then code them afterwards (i.e. to remove the fault lights/messages in the dash)?
or will I have to code them at the same time as I fit to avoid (a) damaging them or (b) them not working correctly?
Thanks
-
I fitted mine and ran the car for two weeks until I could get them coded, no problems, you just have to live with the warnings every time you start the car.
-
^This, now get outside and get em fitted!! Takes 10 minutes!
Go Go Go...... :grin:
-
Yes they will work.
Post some pictures when you've fitted them. It will transform the look of your car. :smiley:
-
Cheers Guys!!
All done. Pics in a short while! :cool:
-
Jealous :sad:
-
Yes they will work.

All tucked up until tomorrow

Now how do I drive to work tomorrow with the lights on and me behind admiring them :grin:
-
Nice one mate.
You'll find that when you park at night and you walk off you have a quick look at how brilliant they look.
-
Looks good.... :smiley:

Cheers Jim - I had to flick the unlock button on the remote just as I left the garage so I could see them light up one more time - the do look well and when I clean the car this weekend I think they'll look even better :smiley:
Looks good.... :smiley:
Cheers - very happy - I've been hankering after this upgrade since I got the car :)
-
Without doubt the best mod for early mk6's! :cool: The during photo shows just how crap the standard lights are :sick:
-
They look ace :cool:
Do you have a link as to where you got the conversion harnesses from?
-
:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
as said before... best mod for a mk6 :smiley:
-
Nice rear
There the best and most satisfying mod on the mk6. I love mine although never got round to updating my sig pictures.
Well worth the money :smiley:
-
they do look immense but at the moment I cant justify spending the money to put them on. Need to remap and do a few little jobs first!!
-
Now how do I drive to work tomorrow with the lights on and me behind admiring them :grin:
:laugh:
Look :cool: bud, nice buy indeed!
-
Cheers Guys.
As said, best mod for the 6.
-
Massive improvement mate :wink:
-
Is there any price variation between the GTi/GTD and R versions?
-
Looking good there bud :smiley:
-

Hi Raffe. Try this search on Germany's eBay

I honestly don't know. I think that if there is, it it'll be minimal in comparison to the total price i.e. just a few %
-
I don't think there is a price difference tbh, i know there wasn't when i bought mine.
-
Have u got them coded yet? My vagcom cable is out on loan just now with RedHP, ur more than welcome to use it once he's finished with it?
-
They look ace :cool:

Guys, forgive my ignorance, but why do you need coding if you change the lights? Please en*light*en me, i am searching to buy a pair of these beauties but i need to know what buggage they carry before i do
-
They neeed coding because the system thinks you've bulbs out due to the lower voltage used on LED's :wink:
-
The lights are LEDs so different voltage ( lower) to standard bulbs so need to code the ECU to say its got LEDs so it doesn't throw an error......... I think!? :rolleyes:
End of the day, you need to change the opition using vagcom. Probably better if u google vagcom to see what it is than someone trying to explain.

Hi Kenny - no not yet - that's a kind offer :smiley: when do you think it might be back from Red ?
-
Where are you located fella?

Moi? Huddersfield, W Yorkshire

Spoke to Awesoe GTi ths morning to confirm their R LED rears come with conversion harness which they do, at £500 with this included I would suggest ths is fairly reasonable, unless anyone can recommend anywhere better?

Not sure mate, once he is done I can ask him to send it to you? U can let me know.

IMO thats too much, go to a couple of dealers and play them off against one another, you shoud be able to shave about £50 off that price.

Cheers Kenny. I might be able to get a cable from Sam (Branchespark) so will let you know either way.
Thanks again

I would also call TPS and see if they will do a decent price for you
-
I know some lads from our local TPS as they are on another forum I use. I'll drop them a message and see if they could help with a group buy.
Would most people be wanting R, or GTI/D lights?
-
I just ordered these, not a bad price IMO :

Nice! What's the diff with ones you've ordered and the ones further down the page?

-
These ones?
http://www.nicheconversions.com/shop/product_detail.asp?cat=2&sec=7&sec2=41&man=43&prod=NCOV1276FDA54F
The others are OEM and these are copies and smoked, i think!

Oh ok, the ones you've quoted in this post are £289.99 but these look the same (http://www.nicheconversions.com/shop/products_page.asp?cat=2&sec=7&sec2=41&man=34#)

So £430, is there any postage and do you still need the conversion harness as these are another £30 from Germany?

Personally would prefer the smoked R versions, mainly from a resale perspective with these being top of the tree :smiley:
