Mk5 Golf Genuine LED Rear Lights

[RedRobin]

I'm glad my topic has gained some momentum / enthusiasm, but I agree, lets no muck about with a group buy, too much hassle, for I can imagine is a small reduction.

Let just confirm that they are genuine VW, which he assures me they are and they don't throw up fault codes!

 

No group buy demand then? The VAG com lead were cheaper... but I can see where you are coming from. We'd probably only get £10-20 off if that.  Unless me, Robin  and Teddy do our own 'bulk buy' and get 99p off 

....IF there had been more interest in a group buy and IF the product without pic is genuine, the £250 asking price seems reasonable anyway.

after two emails, he gave me this part number: 1K0 052 204

after a google search, this part number comes up as being posted year ago on various sites, so they must be the US ones?

anyone want to check this?

That part number matches the ones available from Fischer Motorsport

how can it be one part number for 4 separate parts? 

[Komenda]

Who knows. I'm sure the world of VAG parts works in wonderful ways

Both part numbers match so I'm confident enought to order a set.

Yeah it works by carefully identifying every single part on the car by a unique number!  So four separate plastic parts, will have four numbers.

I thought we already knew that they were the US LHD ones, hence the reason why I was wondering if the fog / reverse light could be swapped.

....Yes, the fog / reverse lenses can be swopped [posted earlier].

What's confusing about all this are statements such as "genuine" and "original VW part", together with no pic from the UK retailer. I didn't have time to phone them yesterday but will try today.

Could you post it up in another thread, this is something I'm definately interested in.

Thanks

At last I managed to get through to Mike at VWSpeed (linked earlier). Had a long chat....Deffo an enthusiast, keen to help.

The product is exactly the same as I posted - In fact, someone lifted my photo and sent it to him!



He's checking with others how we should program the car to accept these LED's. I'm going to contact the guy who's car I photo'd to see what he did and I'll report here in due course.

So, collectively, several of us are onto it!
