Yes they are std Paul but for some reason when Tinker brought the car they were missing....

Hmm, interesting. I took delivery of my GiT in Aug 10 and hadn't opted for Xenon's but mine still has the rear LED light-cluster.
A chap in my area bought his GiT in Jan 11 WITH Xenon's (and thus LED DRL's) but his rear lights were not the LED's, i.e. the early cluster.
I told him to go back to his dealer and enquire why this is.

How odd...

I've located a Bluetooth module that seems like it will do the trick (eBay item number 400390039845). It's described as plug and play, but is this really the case? Will it need to be coded in any way

Cheers.

Just plug n play and a straight swap no coding was needed on mine, so yours should be the same

Update!

Managed to get a few jobs done at the weekend. New rear cup holder in place (after a bit of fiddling), along with factory mats and new bluetooth module. Bluetooth install was a breeze - literally 30 seconds and I had my iPhone connected.

As a result, and because it stopped raining/snowing for an hour or two, I managed a bit of a clean and polish:







I also installed some number plate LEDs (again, a much easier job that I might have thought).

Next up will be the rear Golf R LEDs. Can anyone recommend a reputable source?

Thanks.

Looks great   

Got my R led's from here without issue;

Where did you get your no. Plate led's from and are they fitted with resistors to avoid error messages?

[Tinkertaylor]

I ordered the number plates lights from convert2xenon, based on some good feedback from other threads:

http://www.convert2xenon.co.uk/license-plate-lights/522-volkswagen-golf-mk6-mkvi-led-license-number-plate-upgrade-unit.html

It was a two minute job to fit the new units, and the supplied 'resistors' (or whatever they might be!), prevent any bulb-out warnings on the dash. They really are incredibly bright!

Thanks for the tip on the R leds. My only concern is that it states that cars pre 2010 (mine is September 2009) need a new BCM. Can anyone shed any light on this? Also, where could I go for the coding? Local dealers?

...and those leds may have to wait if that small horse is successful in stealing my car!

  Interesting photo!

When was your car registered? Mine is a December 09 and the R LEDs went in with zero problems

[Tinkertaylor]

Registered September 09. I'd take a punt, but at 469 Euros I'd rather be sure that either a) they'll work, or b) a new BCM (whatever it might be) isn't a big deal!

Mine was registered sept 09
No updated BCM needed here
