Has anyone on here retro fitted them and has standard halogens with no issues? If so when (roughly) was your car built?

Also, did anyone figure out if the LED's can be coded to behave like the halogens when the boot is opened? ie if you unlock the car in the dark and open the boot, the inner lights go out so they don't blind you as it opens.

@Jimble:

My car is BW8 and SteveP had a few issues with my Halogens and the LEDs as my BCM was a new type at the time of fitting. But he sorted it second time round and has the details on his laptop. PM him for details.

They work perfectly and when the boot is opened, the inner lights turn off.

All the best.

Yes, Doc, installing the rear LEDs blew up his engine as they were incompatible with REVO. :shocked: :sad:

My car was an Sep 59 and I had no issue with installing the rear LED's. I met up with SteveP and he kindly codded them in for me. Its the best mod on the GTi.
