won't you have to be careful with those ready made adaptors as FroGTI drives on the wrong side of the road  :tongue:

As SteveP found out when he was given the wrong tail light - couple of bulbs are in the wrong position so it would stand to reason that the wiring will be different too


Eh? Why? There's one connector for each of the 4 light clusters. I don't think it matters which lights (fog, reverse...) are inside. All these adapters do is change each of the 4 stock connectors to LED types.

SteveP's problem was that he was supplied with LHD light clusters.

You big girl's blouse :grin: Just buy some and plug 'em in - THEY WILL WORK!

Incidentally, one big disappointment: the indicators don't use LEDs and therefore 'fade in & out' like the stock lights :angry: I was hoping for Mercedes-style instant on/off LED indicators.

Why would they do that with the indicators, I just dont understand it. Can the indicator bulbs not be replaced with LED's ?

Also do me a fav Froggy, post up exactly what you bought will you (with part numbers) and I promise I'll be nice to you, nob starting from tw@t now

Dealer list price was about £465+VAT  :shocked:

I think in the end the total I got it for was £410 inc VAT. The adapter parts on their own are £45.

£410 all in is tempting. I'm sure FroGTI paid £350-ish all in though, didnt he ?

Mr P.
Have you got your fogs/reversing lights sorted now ? and is it much of a job to make the adapters up,
I am down for a set of Leds but can't see getting much of a group discount unless we can get a fair few together  :undecided:
