Buying the LED tailights.

[rna]

hmmm, should I just go to the dealer and fork out the cash for RHD... Are they illegal then or just won't pass MOT because not that bothered about either of those. Are you able to get connectors or do they have to be altered then? As far as i understand the connectors are because the LED's draw less current than regular bulbs so they will be needed even for RHD lights, yea?

The connectors are required as the tailights have different sockets on the back. The connectors are straight through with no load resistors.

The coding is what sorts the "bulb out" issues.

If your car is a right hand drive car and you try to use the LHD ones you will get bulb out errors even with the correct coding.

The UK dealer list price is over £440 for the taillights plus the cost of the adapters (which require about another £50 of parts).

I will be doing a GB for £413 + P&P.

I can also help arrange fitting in various locations in the UK

Hey Steve,

What's the nearest place down Sussex way?

Cheers for the explanation Steve, sounds good, are they genuine OEM lights, do you make the connectors yourself because I saw of a stack of wires in another thread? I'd be keen for the darker R lights rather than the GTi/GTD ones, keep me posted on the possibility of a group buy
