I'll jump on this thread too as i'd like some recommendations for suppliers of the adapters which the OP will need too. Who did you use (links?) and are they any good?

Cheers chaps

Mike and SteveP are all knowing mate, they can tell you exactly what is required, what versions you needs and suppliers.

Sorry for offering up your advice Steve and Mike but I wouldn't do anything without getting your views first  :embarassed:

I bought the adaptors from german Ebay item number at the time was 400234029875 I think they still sell them.

The service could not have been better they came within a couple of days of placing the order, well packaged wrapped in bubble wrap in a solid cardboard box and the pins and plugs were Genuine VW.

Someone else here gave me the link and i thank them for it.

My car is July 09 and no bulb out warning lights on it, though I do have factory specced xenons.

Cheers snoops, just checked that number with my iphone, i can't read german but i think they're still available so i'll prob order a set of those. I've asked this before but just to confirm that they haven't changed, are these still the correct part numbers for the R LED's:
5K0 945 093 Q (Inner Light) 
5K0 945 094 Q (Inner Light) 
5K0 945 095 L (Outer Light) 
5K0 945 096 L (Outer Light)

Hi Folks,
I'm new on here and am in Ireland.
MY car is an ex UK Mark 6 Golf GTI , it was on a 59 Plate ( LM59AYS )and was first reqistered in the UK on 24th October 2009.
Do you think this model would be ok for the rear LEDs regarding the coding issue?
Also the cost of the rear OEM R LEDs on TM Tuning are $800 plus $50 for the adaptors plus 19% vat and shipping , so they are quite expensive.
Just wondering if they can be sourced elswhere or via any group buys ?
Many thanks for your help
By the way the car is a cracker !!!

Awesome GTI in Manchester are selling them for £506.83 Inc VAT.

You may find them cheaper elsewhere.  With regards to whether your BCM will support the lights with error lights, your best bet is to get a VCDS scan to tell you if the version you have will be ok.

Welcome to the forum btw.

I just got a quote from my dealer for R tails, £465.46 with 10% off inc VAT, think i may go for them tbh, my car is a march 10 build without xenons, do we think i'll have the dreaded bulb out issue?

And i was told the same thing Snoopy, that they are all Q's now.

I would be very surprised if you have the bulb out issue, but get a VCDS scan to be 100% sure.
