I noticed as I walked past a merc today that they have these boomerang shapped LED DRL's which are surface mounted over the honeycomb section. These look very nice imo. I wonder if the merc ones could be retrofited over the middle front honeycomb section on the GTI??

Nice  :smiley:

Given those grilles are only £19 each from VW I think it would be worth buying a set to modify to fit the philips LED's  :cool:

Looking at the front grille today it looks like a right nightmare to remove?? Anyone done this? Maybe you need to remove the whole bumber to push the grille out from the inside?

Don't know about the GTI / GTD but the GT there is a tiny screw then the rest of it is held on by plastic lugs which about 3 or 4 break as you pull on it. This is the only way to change the bulb as well.

^ Bulbs can be changed by a blank in the back of the plastic wheel arch on the GTIs

The merc DRL are made by hella.

On the Phillips website theres a 'Try before you buy option' where you can download a front picture of your car and paste the LEDs on......

So here's one I made earlier with Phillps Daylight 4's



Are these still available?

Great find! I reckon they look the most OEM out of all of the posted versions. Really like how they are pert of the fog light surround.

Love to see the above fitted by someone on here . The grills ain't easy to get off . When I had my bumper painted and removed these grills t was pretty scary , didnt think I'd have many clips left on them by the time I'd done but they came off ok . Think you just have to say a prayer and pull like fucx

How about these?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270983573133?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Sorry for my ignorance but is it just the LEDs you get for that price or do you get the grille pieces too?

If you don't get the grille pieces does anyone know if you can get these as a part and how much they wud cost from the dealers...oh and part number if anyone has it...??

Looking at the advert i'd say it's the complete set including grills.
