I'd stick with Mr P for your Leds, German ebay ones are prob for left hand drive ie fog/reverse lights on the wrong side, also Steve will sort your plug n play wiring adaptors  :wink: :wink:

I might be interested in doing this as well.

Is it literately just plug n play or is there any programming that is needed to be done?

One bit of programming required with VCDS  :smiley:

Otherwise it's Plug and Play.

I would be interested in a set too. Saw a link from another site to here, read the other long thread and checked on ebay.de but there are so many sellers so would be good to use one that people recommend. GB would be good to reduce price as well.....

As Neil says the ebay.de may be a little bit cheaper but won't work properly as they are for LHD cars (i.e. fog and reverse the wrong way around).

If we can get four people interested then the GB can be run again  :smiley:

This time we can do either the GTI / GTD standard Red LED's (which will be standard fit for 2011 cars) or as before the Golf R Tinted ones  :cool:
