Mk5 Golf Genuine LED Rear Lights

I suppose the other way is to leave the R32 middle bits in until I have the lenses swapped over as they are the same tint as the R32 one's which is what I currently have.

Here's a preferable mix, in my opinion, to the one I posted earlier:

You would have to already have the R32/Ed30 darker red parts.

Thats a pic I was after.

How long did they take from order and was it vwspeed you got yours?

I like the look of that a lot 

Can you confirm that the photo shows the LED outers combined with the original R32/ED30 inner lenses ?   It looks such a good match  ?

Presumably that would not need any fog light / reversing lens changes either  ?

....It's not my car, it's Swiss LHD. But, I think it's fairly obvious and safe to say that it's new LED outers combined with Ed30/R32 inners and it matches.

And obviously no fog/reverse lenses swop either.

You would still have to buy the whole 'inner' and 'outer' LED paired set. Best would be VWSpeed in the UK.

I still prefer the whole set as LED, particularly as LED lighting is better.

Hi RedRobin,

Great info as always! I really like the mix & match idea especially if the dark red matched the Ed30 originals. For your info I was in Breeze VW today and checked with the Parts manager about ordering the LEDs through them. It’s interesting that VW UK gave all their dealers an option last year to offer RHD LED tailights to British drivers. Sadly the majority of the dealerships turned down the idea, so it was dropped... on the continent you can order the LEDs as an extra-cost item. My guy was able to get the Valeo units up on his UK VW database but was unable to get a cost or order them as they were for LHD vehicles. So it nearly happened... shame because my dealer wanted to stock them!

Anyway very close to ordering ED30, just waiting for killer price from Sales Manager.
I’ll be in touch soon.

Cheers buddy... Hotrod

Hi guys, Can anyone tell me who manufacturers the OEM tailights on the ED30/R32. Is it Valeo, Hella..? Just checking that an exact match can be made with Valeo LED outers and factory stock inners (if that makes sense). I’m a bit of a perfectionist so it would have to be spot on!

Thoughts..? Hotrod.

Are your Fogs & Reversing Lights definitely LED on your new lights RR?

i thought I read that these were still normal bulbs .... or maybe that was another make
