I thought you would be all for it Guy. Being into detailing and one of the things with that is improving a cars look. Is it just the price that puts you off ? Some of the guys here have sold their old lights so have paid roughly £250-£300 all in for their upgrades to the LED's.

It actually depends on the colour car you have...
I definitely find the bright red ones better looking on white and red cars....but ugly (= less succesfull) on the black ones.... :sad:


On Carbon Grey I would prefer the darker ones but the brighter ones do no harm....at least a first impression...based on pics on this forum.

With the 'old' system, we had just two types of rear light:

(1) bog standard bright red
(2) darker filament GTI

Now we have four types:

(1) bog standard bright red
(2) darker filament GTI
(3) optional LED GTI
(4) R GTI

Following VW's marketing logic whereby dark=sporty, (3) should be at least as dark as (2), but it ain't. It's even pinker and girlier than (1) :undecided:

To help bring the cost down for anyone interested I am trying to sort a mini group buy, I already have two people interested and if I can get another two then I think a lower price is doable.

So if anyone is ready to buy some with the plug and play wiring adapters (just need VCDS coding, which I can help with if your near Milton Keynes or London) then drop me a PM  :smiley:

I take it these lights are standard on the new Polo as I have seen a few on the road with them.
No the polo ones are bulbs and i have been stuck behind one tonight in traffic so i got a good look at them :grin:

Steve, I'd create a new thread, that way everyone can see it without having to search through here.
