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

They aint listed on VW Speed any more!  :undecided:

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

OK, thanks - will try next week if I ain't feeling too grumpy!  :smiley:

In my experience the Germans are extremely efficient and good at getting you stuff once you can communicate.

Hella UK were totally useless but Hella Germany were amazing and also gave me a huge discount on my LED DRL's.
I think I'm the first and one and only Mk5 GTI to have them in the UK.

RedRobin, great pic. I am only slightly concerned by the site saying they didnt ship to islands outside of Germany....
A slight aside, have you looked into L.E.D Xenon sidelights? Would be interested to hear thoughts on that...i know i should probably start another thread  :embarassed:

"islands outside Germany" sounds like a language translation hiccup. I think you'll find that as we are all Euro Common Market countries it'll be alright.

As my LED Daylight Running Lights are wired to be permanently on except when any of the other lights are on (switched or automatically), I very rarely use my sidelights. My headlights are proper oem Xenons as fitted in Wolfsburg. So I'm personally not specially interested in "LED Xenon sidelights" and haven't heard of them.

....Do tell me which famous comedian so I can tell him! :evil:

He's a friend who drives a much modified Mk5 R32. We occasionally drive each other's cars.

My LED  rears came from Mike at VW Speed, I've used VW Speed several times and found them very helpful.

The LED's were on 'back order' - so I had to wait a few weeks - they are significantly more visible - especially when braking and indicating at the same time.

Not cheap but I did sell on the 'LED' inners to offset some of the cost.

I can't believe a thread I started 14 months ago is still going, and I still haven't got round to buying them!   :laugh:

I quite like these long threads :afro: - at least it stops the section index page from clogging up with the same question repeated time and time again.  :smug:

So, question for the day, which is the longest, timewise active thread on the forum?  :nerd:

And just to keep the thread on topic  :tongue: yup, I still want some of these too!
