LED Rear lights
« on: 24 June 2014, 20:29 »
So after a few months of owning my GTI I finally got my hands on a set of genuine GTI / GTD LED rear lights and got them installed this evening and the fault codes taken off so there are no warning or lights on the dash.

I think it is a great little mod and am very pleased with the out come.

Before ... (Please don't shout at me for the bike rack)


Lights ...



After ...

Really transform the rear, looking good  :cool:

I still think they are the best looking rear light cluster of any car  :smiley:

You are right, its such a transformation makes it stand out from the sea of standard golfs on the road.

I looked at both smoked and clear and the clear look better against the white I think.

+ 1   Yet to see any better clusters on other cars.  Agree cherry red rears look great against candy white.  Car looks  :cool:

I like both the smoked and the cherry, but imo smoked suit certain colours better than others, i.e. carbon or steel grey, midnight blue.

Yours look great on white, it was a real plus point when I was looking to purchase mine along with xenons.
