Title: Rear LED Lights - Video
Post by: JonnyG on 20 July 2013, 17:23: I presume the GTi rear LED lights are the same as this ? can someone confirm ?

It shows all the possible combinations (with no video flickering for once :smiley:)

I wonder if the indicators can be programmed to work like the new audi R8 indicators.

25s into this:

Post by: Bill_the_Bear on 20 July 2013, 17:57: I find those R8 indicators a bit stupid. But might be possible to fit a simple circuit board to delay each LED by 50ms or something.

I doubt the circuitry exists for vagcom to do it.

Just viewed the R8 video, NO WAY :sick:

With Bill on this, it just looks nasty, tacky, fairground. GTI 7 standard rear LED's :cool:

Post by: Gryzor on 20 July 2013, 23:00: Possibly the nicest set of LED rear clusters I've seen to date! Also another vote for having the indicators just as they are. What'll be next, LEDs in the shape of arrows, or spelling the words left and right?! :grin:

With you on this. Audi already tried 46 types of daytime running lights to try and resemble a Xmas tree, now they got bored and started on the rears I guess.. What next :sick:
