Non LED rear lights, I thought all GTI's now come with LED rears?



Experts will know for sure though.

Yep I've seen a few guys having done this mod locally already... seems like a PIA though as there's some resistors/transformers to be fitted (and I don't no jack sh!t about auto electrical things) So will have to find someone to do this for me...

I would expect like other VW golfs the software for the LED lights is already in the cars computer.
To change to the LED rear lights in europe from the older non LED ones you simply buy adaptor leads (to change from one type of plug to another nothing more) and change a setting in the cars computer to let it know you have LED rear lights.
Here is a how too

thanks gents,

2 more sleeps-
Dealer sent me these today....





Just need to confirm the following on the rcd 310... I've noticed that there's been a small change on these units- black and blue backlighting... I'm not sure whether mine is the latest and would like to confirm this beforehand... Was under the impression that the car was shipped up from the port today but apparently the dealer sourced the vehicle from another dealership. I need clarification of this tomorrow... so holding thumbs everything is as I was expecting



vs

So got confirmation today that my car has the new spec rcd310 i.e. the black backlighting... does fit the centre console lighting better....
Dealer sent me this pic as confirmation so seems like I got the latest spec which I am relieved about...

That looks much nicer than the older blue one
