Are the Golf R lights a straight swap with the GTI or is some wizardry required?

straight swap

Depends on the age of the mk6.
Early 09 reg ones can have problems recoding.
Later ones can be coded.....
Late ones with the LED GTI rear lights will be a straight swop.
SteveP is the guy to talk to about them.

Well, when I say straight swap, I mean for the lights. There's new wires required to be made up.
