Mk5 Golf Genuine LED Rear Lights

any chance of a video showing brake lights and indicator lighting up?

I think they would look great if they came with a smoked cover effect... but hey thats just me being fussy!

....Fuss spot!!

My 'red bits' are called Cherry Red but I don't know if the R32 or Ed30 ones are 'smoked' or the same as mine.

The one thing that video doe'snt show is the important one 

Braking and indicating together

My worry is when swapping the lenses you need to make sure the unit is sealed properly otherwise you'll get misted up lights at some point.

I would have some but then lense swap does put me off.

Looking at the pic vwspeed show is this saying they offer the unit with the fog light in the correct location, i.e. ready to go ... naughty picture if not really.

....I'll investigate the sealing question later but having it done professionally by a workshop I trust and who are affiliated to my VW dealer, is why I paid them to do the job rather than myself. Worth the £30 (incl vat) imo.

That pic of the Steel Grey on the VWSpeed page is one that I took at the Oxford show and is of a UK car whose owner did the swop about 6 months ago. I'll point out the ambiguouity to VWSpeed.

RedRobin,

LEDs look ace. Out of interest who fitted them for you?
They swopped the red fog/white reversing lenses for you... no damage or marks incurred?

....My VW dealer has an affiliated award winning accident repair centre next door (Dorchester). I know the boss and that these guys take a pride in their work. They painted and fitted my carbon bonnet and I trust them. Okay, I haven't inspected inside the light units to see for marks but the outsides are perfect.

Hi RedRobin,

Is that Loders in Dorchester? I use Breeze in Poole and have a good relationship with them. I’m chuffed it’s Dorchester (30 minutes away) as I’m defo getting the LEDs.

Good work there!

cheers, Hotrod

I would prefer to buy them done really, like you say I am sure they have done a good job for you and I would pay someone to do my set (if I got some) it just would be nice to be able to buy them ready to go - nice and easy DIY fit
