I noticed yesterday that both my rear lights had condensation on the inside (the sections on the boot lid not the main lamp) - is this a problem? Its cleared now, worth me mentioning to my dealer when I take it for service?

Lights look mint by the way redrobin  :drool: :cool:

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

....Yes, it's Loders Motor Group, Accident Repair Centre - I've just spoken to Mark Thompson 01305 755 455 and he's happy to do them for you. :smiley:

....Def mention it to your VW dealer just so it's on record if it happens again. I had the same at first and only for a very short period.

To anyone concerned about condensation after swopping the lenses on these new LED's....

I'm assured that the seals aren't broken in accessing the fog/reverse lenses. Instead of using a hot glue gun, my workshop guy used plastic welding to replace fixings.

From the pics it looks like the read section is slightly tinted like the R32 lights, is this correct.

I will be having a look this weekend to see if I can swap the lenses myself and then I may order a set just for the hell of it ;)

....I'm assumimg you mean the red section, in which case it's called Cherry Red but I haven't made a close inspection of an R32 or Ed30 to compare accurately.

Yes the outside red plastic but, if you look at your before and after the edge red bit look more tinted like the R32 version, just the round light bit is different its its silver colour.

....Most definitely darker.

Someone in this thread was thinking of mixing them and I found this pic on an American forum (they do crazy mods!). I don't like it though.
