LED rears on a GT

[dubber36]

In addition to the planned Blue Motion rear spoiler and side skirts on my GT TDI, I am now considering LED rears after seeing them on a Tornado GTD yesterday.

I can understand people upgrading early GTI/D's to have them, but could fitting them to a GT look like I'm trying to make it look like something it isn't?

Isn't that what you are trying to do?

The new cabriolet version of the golf has very similar lights so my responce would be do it if you want too if your software is capable of it that is.

I didn't want it to appear to be trying to look like a GTI/D, hense the Blue Motion bits, but was unsure whether the rear lights might be a step too far.

Well it could be said if your fitting blue motion bits you want it too look like a golf R 
If you like it do it.

They are a factory option on the Bluemotion and GT in Germany, so won't look out of place IMO.

Then again spending £450 on a set of tail lights when the old ones work just fine. Madness.  But, they do look good, but you never get to see them.

Or at current retail price £506 + ~£35 for adaptors  for something you will never see yourself.

Never get to see them? I can see them burning a hole in the eye balls of the guys sat behind me when I ride the brake pedal at the lights  

Best money I've spent on the car.

You can't see your alloys either but that does not mean they should not look as pretty as possible.
Change your tail lights, Snoops. They do make the car look less ordinary. The longer you wait, the more expensive they become. Last year they cost me £421.50 including adaptors.

I agree with Jim. I also think it's the best money I spent on my car .
