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.


....The stock (OEM) tails on my GTI are Valeo and also manufactured in Poland. I don't know about the Ed30/R32 but reading my Tyresmoke thread on the same LED subject, I think Snoopy said they are Valeo too - Needs checking.

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

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  :rolleyes:

Here is the link :

http://www.fischermotorsport.de/Volkswagen/VW-Golf-Mk5-VW-Jetta-Mk5/Lightning/OEM-LED-taillights-VW-Golf-Mk5-6.6338.html

Are these the same as yours ?

....Yes, I believe you are right about the fog/reverse being bulb'd but their surrounds are LED.

Without inspecting one out of the box, I can't comment whether Fischer's are the same as mine (Valeo) but would expect they are.

Here's a closeup of mine:

Anybody thought about ordering direct from Germany?

Look here:

http://www.ahw-shop.de/

Type in 1K0052204 in the search panel.  They have OEM LED's for Euro 299  (about £222) + 15 euros carriage!


....£222 + £11 carriage = £233 against £249 incl carriage and vat with fast ParcelForce delivery from VWSpeed in UK.

Would you have to pay vat on importing from Germany?

It's the same part number 1K0052204 as mine made by Valeo.

Thanks RR

How's the "brake + indicate" looking with the new lights ?   Big improvement over OEM  ?

....I haven't had the opportunity to check that yet. It needs me to follow someone else driving my car or me to follow someone else with LED tails on a Mk5. Got a Tyresmoke meet coming up soon though and will be able to test because some of us know each other well enough to drive each other's cars.

....Without being able to scientifically measure it, it appears to be the same but the effect is like on a more expensive car.

RedRobon...............VAT is paid in Germany (included in the prices quoted) and there would be no extra taxes for importing to UK.

I live in France and the stealers here want over 400 euros for the exact same Valeo part, so I will be saving quite a bit!
I have a set on order which should be with me very soon!  Seems like it may not be realy worthwhile for you guys in UK though...........unless you could negotiate a group discount with AHW-SHOP.

I was disappointed to learn today after very close inspection, that the 'inner' silver'd surrounds to the fog and reversing lights are totally non-functional on the new LED units. The moulding allows for actual LED's but none are there. Nevertheless I am still very pleased with them. :smiley:

If you have either an Ed30 or Mk5 R32 with the darker red, you could just change the 'outers' to the new LED's and still keep it all matching.

These dont do anything on the normal lights do they?
