....Quite a few people would prefer to do that but the inner and outer units only match if you have Ed30/R32 darker red tints. My stock ones were the lighter red tint. I'm not at all unhappy though.

If you have just the outers fitted, can you get away without any re-wiring/vag com?

All, apologies for bringing this thread back to life. Appreciate that you have done a lot of work to get to this point. I want to ask RedRobin specifically, following all the links on the thread, the Valeo lights on the recommended German only website (http://www.ahw-shop.de/), 299 Euro etc. Did you have to get involved in re-programming the management system to accept the lights or was it literally plug and play? I love the look of those on your GTI, my preference i think be to follow some and just replacing the outers. Again appreciate any assistance, the thread has got me to the point of the mouse hovering over purchase and i just wanted to ask. :-)

Deffo plug and play - especially if like me you're only going to fit the outers  :wink:

Hi guys,

No need to do any VAS or other programming for the UK. You just have to make sure that fog lens is on driver's side and reversing lens on passenger side. A RHD car is already wired that way so it's just a matter of swopping lenses IF your new rear lights come from a LHD car market.

I got mine via VWSpeed - Very quick service if they have stock.

....It's probably worth giving the guy (Mike?) a phone call to see if he can still get them - He only kept small stocks.
