We will need to agree to disagree on this one.

As said, aesthetics are entirely subjective.  The design works on both, but what appeals is dependant on your own aesthetic likes/dislikes.  It really doesn’t matter who prefers what, it is what it is, and all that matters is you like your own car.  It’s interesting to chat about these things and I don’t really seeing it as agreeing it disagreeing, just different t perspectives and personal taste.  :smiley:

I was never really a fan of the Mk7 rear lights, VW was using blocky LEDs at the time other manufacturers were using nice continuous strips of LED. Made them a bit old hat even when they were new. The Mk7.5 has addressed this and uses less blocks and had a nicer appearance, in my opinion of course.

The sweeping indicators are possible a bit pointless but also pretty cool. I wouldn't go to the hassle of retro fitting them to a car that didn't have them in the first place though.

I think maybe Merc have some of the best rear lights. And their running lights are great with the way they fade on and off.


I think Mercs have the absolute worst lights!
They look like strips of neon pink lipstick and are way to curvy. Not a very good look if you’re a bloke.

Not sure I can see what you mean on that one I'm afraid  :rolleyes:

I think he means the rear lights, to me they look more pink than red.
