The rear lights aren't great because of the big gaps between the LED's - the Golf R lamps are much better. The running lights in the headlamp would be okay, if only they'd kept the rest of the lamp closer to standard. I could be wrong here, but most VW owners are going to want something that looks like it could have come from the factory that way, not from Halfords.

I think VWuk need to have a word with the factory and get the UK the rear LED light option for the GTI or add it too the Xenon package like they have for a few other countrys.

I like the LED integration at the front, but it's a shame they messed with the other lights in the cluster and made them square :shocked:

I think that just about hits the nail on the head.  :smiley:

give it a few years, then the Mk6 forum will be closer to the Mk3/4 forums and they'll love these  :grin:
