Let's try again shall we, this place will sell you the lights or a harness to adapt your existing lights.

OBD Eleven?

I think you need hardware.

Have a wee lookey at these;

Just make sure if you buy anything from abroad it's compatible with right hand drive.

Alternatively this place are a bit far from you but will supply and fit;-

I prefer the look of the lights on the Mk7 over the solid type on the Mk7.5

This guy has proper sweeping indicators https://youtu.be/wib8HunhzLE

I agree on that. The sweeping is definitely cool but other than that the rest of the light design is too ordinary. By going with just 2 continuous straight lines along the width instead of some more bespoke pattern like in the MK7, in the night it could be a Passat, a Leon, a BMW or a Merc. On the contrary I like how you can tell a MK7 GTI/R from a distance.

I must be in a minority of not liking sweeping indicators at all, either the Mk7 OBDeleven/vcds tweak or the facelift indicators. I think they look naff. 

Agree about the new light design being too generic now, nothing to set it apart from a big standard golf really and even less so with an R.  :grin:  Also prefer the Mk7 rear lights to the facelift rears. VW, Audi, Seat all look the same now.
