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.

I'd agree with Jimble, don't think that modded grill is a dealer option anyway?

Although they say manufacturer is VW, I've never seen that on any GTi I've seen. aftermarket not VW IMO

I might be going mad but I remember about a year ago that there is a VW retro fit LED DRL in the grill kit coming out soon?


Does anyone else remember the post?

I'm sure they were in the accessory brochure last time I looked, but I can't find them now. They were similar to the R ones and one hell of a lot of money.

The ones in the fog light grilles in this thread look bang on, but no good for a GT  :sad: The only thing that would worry me about any aftermarket ones tho', would be them being too blue, like the ones lots of people buy from Halfords.

Also how do they wire in? Do they replace the standard bulbs in the headlights and therefore turn off when the parking lights or headlights are turned off? Or do you turn the standard ones off and have these wired to the ignition, meaning you need an additional relay to turn them off?
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
