Soon enough GTI's with the factory fitted rear lights are going to be a rarity going by the number of you retro-fitting led ones.
I came up behind my car yesterday when it was all clean and shiny and decided that I actually like my tail lights just as they are and although I considered going for the led's don't think I will bother now.

I just want to have my cute red rump beautifully lit. :laugh:

That's quite true, a bit like the little lights on the original Mk1 GTI. That said, I still think the LED blocks are more in keeping with the sharp, modern styling of the Mk6.

Because of were he lives they will be a factory option for the GTI.

Why can't we in the UK be part of the European Circus? :rolleyes:
Can we not somehow get these from a VW dealer? Surely it can't be that difficult to source?
I WANT the REDDER ones NOW!
P-L-E-A-S-E.
You will have to have a look at the latest version of etka or at your dealers they may list a RHD version.

heres the lighter ones

compared to the R darker ones

A version for right hand drive cars is now available according to ETKA, so if your interested I can get them at a similar price to the R group buy  :wink:

The R version are also listed for the GTI "Edition" model, so looks like they will be standard fit on the ED35  :cool:

Second observation is there are two versions of the LED's now, one for cars built upto 26/04 and a revision for car built after this  :nerd:

Hi SteveP:
Yes I am interested.
But first I have to get my RNS 510 + FISCON.
Then I will do the rear lights.

Snoopy: yes, I meant the original small rear lights (before 1979, I believe).

BTW, nice comparison of the dark v pink LEDs. Dark win hands down, IMHO.

I've seen them in person and they are really very bright red - almost pink. Certainly a lot brighter than the picture above would have you believe.
