Whats the current retail price for the R rear lights?

[Jimmymature]

I'd love to put the LED lights on mine but I'm sure I've read/heard somewhere I can't fit them on mine cos it's a July 2009 model. Something to do with CAMBUS (whatever that is).

Anyway, is that true? And if so has anyone found a way round the problem yet so I can finally get these pesky lights?

Your problem is that your BCM is the older version and doesnt support rear LED's.  You can change the BCU, I bought mine from eBay.de, search for '1K0937087D'

I think you can fit the LED's with your current BCM but you get a bulb out message. People who know more than I do will be along soon

Ah, at least that's more promising sounding Jim.

What's the BCM?

(Please forgive the ignorance if that's a really thick question)

im pretty sure you can fit them andy. mine is an 59plate (sept 09) and mine has them fitted. If you really wanted them you could turn up when i take mine out... as you are local.

To know for sure you'll need a scan by someone with VAGCOM to tell you the version of BCM you're running. Once you have this you'll know for sure if you can fit the lights without changing the BCM.

Mine is the same build date and I no prob's with the BCM. SteveP coded them in for me. Best mod on the car ( in fact the only one at the moment  )
