Rear light units - Stock or LED upgrade

[dubber36]

Do people just buy them from VW main agent Parts Depts and what's the cost?

I waited until someone trading up to a Mk7 had theirs for sale.

They are expensive for what they are, but there will always be a market for them when you come to sell, so you will get most of your money back, especially if like me, you buy secondhand.

Cheers... Those alloy wheels on Peter w's car are very smart!

The picture of the before and after rear lights by ajmoir does show 2 nice sets if rear lights though and again, I do like the stock non LED ones.

How much would you expect to pay for a set of genuine 2nd hand rear LED's please?

[tenrohle]

a definite must have.

Does it not seem like half a job though if your rears are LED and your fronts are not?

Not really. They came from the factory like that unless you ordered xenons.

And only on later xenons.
. I did look at updating mine but im not a fan of daytime running fairy lights so decided I would end up turning them off anyway so didnt see the point.

I paid £350 off someone on here second hand.

My GTD came with LEDs as standard and wouldn't have it any other way. When you follow it at night their brilliant. The fronts were done with OEM bi xenons with LEDs. That consisted of 2 headlamps and harness kit from Carsystems.pl cost in the region of £1000. Needed a highline CCEM, cost £250 from main dealer. When you do this your headlights point to the rabbits in the fields on the left! You then need the AFS kit from them at a cost of £200. Now your cooking. Code up with vagcom and you have the look. Mind ave been plagued with an error bulb since. Working on it tho.
