Golf Gti is getting LED back lights

[FroGTI]

Well it's not quiet the 100% I though when doing to the picture taking today I found once the fog and reverse had been switch on together I got a bulb out warning on the dash, tried the three coding options I have found online but no joy. So back to the drawing board for now 

If its only fog + reverse, I can live with that.

It looks like I have been supplied Left hand drive inner lights 

Just went and checked and the reverse light is on the wrong side, as per this video I took earlier

Try now  :embarassed:

Nice little video, thanks for your trouble. I must say the indicators look good, though I am surprised they have received type approval, as they seem very small and not very bright/noticeable.

EDIT: Looking at the video a second time, it looks as if the indicators use incandescent bulbs rather than LEDs, as they seem to 'dim' in and out... Can you confirm?

The group buy looks tempting but sending the cash to a complete stranger, who reckons he can get over a 100 orders, doesn't fill me with confidence.

That's over £20K being paid in to his account 
I'm not questioning his honesty but its the kind of thing if it went pear shaped and you told your mates you paid £200 in to a complete strangers bank account.........well you can imagine what they would think of you.

It's been done before by another chap very succesfully

I can see what you're saying but if the chap organising it is stupid enough to run off with your money I think there's enough of you to track him down

Lol, can you imagine that? A posse of GTI drivers roaming the streets

Correct lights will be here tomorrow morning

100 folk going after him though doesn't guarantee your money back as the other thread you posted about proves

Even Ross Tech was unsure with the first group buy.......... "Don't take this the wrong way, but we don't know you very well. Right now, all we have on you is a Hotmail address.   Thus if you make an offer in public, collect a bunch of money from people, and decided to abscond with it, we (Ross-Tech) would end up looking pretty bad.  Now I have no reason to believe you would do this, but I really don't want to take the chance of us or our prospective customers getting taken for that kind of money........"

I'm sure it would fine but its the kind of thing you read about in the papers every day and think to yourself, "how stupid can some folk be, sending money to a complete stranger"
