£517 sounds about right. They're quoting £100 for fitting so if i can get them at £439 i can get them fitted by dealer prior to pick up for £539 total cost which would be ace :)


Sounds like a plan! :smiley: I wonder what the dealer will do about the adapters??

I wonder if I should inform my Insurance Company that I have changed my stardard H7 Halogen bulbs to the Auto Express award winning Philips Extreme Vision ones? :rolleyes:

Thats an extra £100 premium for those! :grin:

They said they haven't done an install before so i'm not sure :s

I guess if I buy them from BKS Tuning and have them shipped over in plenty of time. Then get the lights from the other dealer it cant go too wrong.

Although it does beg the question - why not do it myself and save the £100.

I guess it adds the extra safety net of knowing that if it all does go tits up the dealer is responsible to fix it rather than me .

I won't be telling my insurance company about my rear lights as they are OEM and factory fitted so there is no need, I maybe wrong having that view but they can kiss my @ss

Have you watched the install video?

So easy even the dealers can do it  :grin:

Great soundtrack, love QOTSA :cool:

With regards to the OP and your dilemma, surely it's a no-brainer? Fit them yourself and save the £100, from that video it appears to be undoing/redoing 10 nuts and adding 2 adaptor cables...I'm sure a monkey could manage it!

Evidence of people invalidating insurance policies by not declaring modifications? :lipsrsealed:

Absolutely no way would this invalidate your insurance

It's not a performance mod, it's using OEM parts and doesn't add any value to the car, make it more stealable and he assessor wouldn't give a toss ifthe worse happened. He would have to be a real VW bore to even know LED lights weren't on early the GTD too
