Yes Martin, it was Crawley VW, nobody was as surprised as me with the quoted price, I've seen a couple of Golfs with the lights recently, which got me thinking I ought to do it, a black GTI in France, which I followed for some time and a white R parked up, so I had a good look round. Thanks for the offer.

I have finally decided to give in to the inevitable and swap my rear bog standard lights for the LED rears (the R ones of course).  I went to the local dealers to see how much they would charge and was plesantly surprised as they quoted me £450 for the lot, gave me a reasonable discount, so I have ordered them.

Strangely they had the off side lights in stock but had to order the others.

At the same time I enquired about coding them in (Steve P has kindly offered if I meet up with him), but though I would enquire. They say that they cannot get the required information from VW to do this, but if I supply it they will undertake it!!!!!!!!!

Might let them have a go as they are very local to me
Very good price and nice of them to offer to code them too.  :smiley:

Just go for it now. They won't get any cheaper.

And if Mr Pound has offered to code for you snap his hand off, he may even help you fit them for far less than what the dealer will do them for and he will take far less time.
