Led brake lights
« on: 23 January 2007, 22:00 »
Looks like the golf wont be getting any this time. But, has anyone fitted LED brake light "bulbs" to their golf? Such as these......

I just like the way they come on and go off so fast such as on the Eos & Passat. Mind you has anyone noticed that the last 3 series had LED brake lights but the current one does not? Why?

My dealer told me the new lights are LED's. Could this be part of the 07 spec?

The '07 spec still have the conventional tungsten filament lamps, although they are only 6W mini-halogens, brightness controlled by CAN-BUS command.  The 3rd high level brake light is LED though!
