What kind of adapter do we need to install these lights ? Its big problem to get it ?

I don't think we know yet. There was some info on the motor-talk.de forum suggesting different connectors but I guess we'll have to wait until someone decides to buy some. I vote FroGTI buys some first as he has a LHD car.

As I said.. Monday I will ring the dealer, and I will ask him to fit the Leds in my GTI which is going to be built in november... Hopefully first week of December I will be one of the first to have the Leds straight from the factory....

If you look good to the GTi and R Youtube movie's you see the difference, especially when zooming in to the side

Ok, spoke to the dealer, and he confirmed that The golf GTI built from week 45 onward will have LED back lights, the price range is not confirmed, but it appears that if you order the xenons the LED are standards, is like leathers seats=heated seats.

I am talking for the Italian marker, but it shouldn't vary too much from the UK one!

You dont get heatest seats as standard when you buy leather though.
