Soooooo preeeeetttyyyyyy!  :drool:

Thanks. I must admit that when I see other Mk6s on the roads now, especially ones with the basic bright red lights, I can't help feeling they look really old fashioned.

I'll 100% agree with that. Just cant afford to take the plunge for them at the moment or I would have. Darn holiday to pay for this year too so gotta split the spare cash for that  :sad:

For those thinking about retrofitting a set of LED rear lights, I just sold my stock lights to a TDI owner for £150.

Total cost therefore was £380 (LEDs sourced in Germany, adapter cables, OBC reprogramming by dealer) less £150 = £230

...and the best part is that my wife hasn't noticed :grin:

A quick reminder of the end result:



......lovely that is exactly how my car is gonna looklike .. :cool:.

Hang on in there, Kev. Holidays are for the whole family, whereas these LED lights are a selfish and totally unnecessary acquisition for car-nerds like us :grin:

I'm not trying to put you under any pressure you here, but if you're thinking of selling your stock lights to offset the cost of the LEDs, bear in mind their market value is going to fall quickly as base model Golf owners get to hear about the LEDs... That's one of the reasons I did mine now. Now lie awake in bed at 3 a.m. and think about that :laugh:
