Yeah the fog in the pic is on the UK side, but I've never seen these for sale. Only seen the Euro Spec on here:

It's supposed to be an easy job to swop the reversing and fog small centre lenses over for right-hand drive cars and wire/VAGcom accordingly.

However he did say another Mk5 owner is checking out whether they will throw up a fault code or not.

That will be me.

I emailled him a few weeks ago as the link is without picture.  If they are the right ones I am def. getting a set.   I was a little concerned about the position of the Fog / Reverse light but the pic above shows it on the correct side, hopefully easy to swap lens or maybe they are RHD? 

They are a straight fit but you do have to code with VAG COM, probably coding from a Jetta.

US. owners have to mess with wiring and add a 4th wire which luckilly our european cars already have.

....The owner of the Steel Grey car I posted a pic of told me that he swopped the reversing/fog lenses himself.

he wellsy - have they still not replied after all this time?

 Aren't the led lights fitted to the golf plus as standard?

Thanks for that.

So if we swap the lenses ourselves, how and where do we get the VAGCOM coding I wonder?

The VAG COM coding is in the vwvortex link that I posted.

VWspeed did reply, but just to say that they didn't have any pictures yet and that they were not aware of the extra work involved in fitting.

Yes, I was just about to post that.  I followed one home from college today and the LED's caught my eye, probably wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for this thread
