Well thats what I've been told on here, with Xenons they will blind a lot of motorists.

Unless the levelling sensor is off balance, you shouldn't be blinding anyone!  Xenons auto level - so when you're going up a hill, they won't point up into the driver infronts rear mirror.  Techically they should blind people less - but becuase they're so bright, a lot of people moan about them!

OK the subject of LED rear lights. I know they are on the German configurator but

I have a copy of the ENGINE AND SPECIFICATION CHANGES: WEEK 45 2009
This is the UK changes sent to UK dealer network from VW to let them know what is happening.

There is a couple of minor changes to the Golf but the only thing applicable to the GTI is
1)RNS510 sat nav is now also voice controlled.
2)needle design change on speedometer. (black line round its outer edge). Introduced gradually from week 45.

Only bit to do with the golf that talks about lights is that the S,SE,GT reflectors will now be cherry red.

I did say:

Yep, my mistake. I've just checked the configurator again and they've updated it to show the LED's as a 350,00 € option.

1)RNS510 sat nav is now also voice controlled.

Cool.

If your a C*ck for getting Xennons, then they are all C*nts for not getting them, take that you none Xennon C*unt  :shocked:

Back on topic, why would they offet them as a cost option? surely this is just plain stupid, and we will get them in the UK a standard?

Ahhh... so the rumours of the new RNS firmware coming out in week 45 must be true then!!!
