dont think you can order them for dealer  :sad:

Yes you can  :smiley:

List price is around £400 + VAT for the lights and £50 for the parts for the adapters.

I have a reasonable discount negociated so if your interested let me know  :wink:

SteveP is probably too modest to post a link to his own thread/forum, but here is THE reference on retrofitting LEDs: http://mk6.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=81.0

just had email back from dealer saying that indeed they can supply them quoted £420 plus Vat for parts but didnt know how much labour costs would be!

Honnestly, if you know what a screwdriver is, then you can fit them yourself. Armed with SteveP's code, my dealer took 10 minutes to recode the OBC to avoid the error messages, so I would have thought 'labour' would be just a few quid.

Im getting tempted just have to go camping this year instead of abroad! sure the missus wont mind that I have blown our holiday money of some new LED lights  :angry: has anyone got any images of LED rear lights on a red GTI just so I can convince myself that doing the washing and ironing until December is going to worth it! :grin: at least I can drive to a camp site  :wink:
