I think that photo isn't true to how it actually looks. It's quite easy to get very different colors with photo's. It's quite orange in that one. :)

Huge difference in the color on those photos. All depending on lighting and camera. They are definitely not orange though. :P

Let's have a piccy of yours, please. :smiley:
Erik's don't look orange like in the first picture.
In the other pictures they look fine IMO.
Much, much better than the standard lights.

Here are Erik's:
But they are lighter than the 'R' versions though.
Which is better is a matter of taste. I like both!
I am getting the 'R' versions. :wink:

Still very light and i think probably lighter than the oem bulb lights. I have seen a massive amount of photos of the GTI Leds as im also on a german gti site were theres loads of build logs.
Im starting to warm to the oem bulb ones (runs and hides :laugh: )

And so you should. You wicked person!
I do prefer the 'R' LEDs and the OEM bulby ones are darker the GTi LEDs.
Both loveRly though. :smiley:

I took some pics when I picked my GTI a few weeks ago. -> http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=152164.0

Both of the new LEDs are better then the old non-LED ones and I prefer the darker R ones as well. I can't justify buying the R LEDs ones though since my GTI came with the GTI LEDs from factory. :)

Hi Awry.
GTi LEDs will look fine on all colours but not on a red car probably! This is MO and taste.
Your LEDs look superb on your silver beauty.
The OEM Bulby thing-me-gigs look poo in comparison.
Rear LEDs are the best man-jewellery IMO!  .... on a car! :laugh:
