Yep for sure, It's like night and day seeing them side by side. I also think the GTI ones look, well, kinda cheap.  :sad:

Have to agree with you there. They look like fake ones from Hong Kong.

I must say that the R leds look far superior to the Gti ones,
The darker red should go nice against my Tornado Red  :cool: anone got any pics of a red one with R leds  :smiley:

Looks like the r ones are smoked plastic and the gti are not.
Golfgti build quality is average at best.
