Robin - who is that driving your car... looks like a famous comedian  :wink:

....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.

Its the smile of Alan Partridge from the outline you can see  :grin:

Hi can anyone help me locate a retailer selling the OEM LED lights?  I have tried VWSpeed, but they don't appear to have any at the moment and are unsure of when they will get some more.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks  :smiley:

Unfortunately VWSpeed was the best contact but I understand he's hit by the exchange rates. You could ask him for a source in Germany.

I hope I never need to replace mine!

Valeo are the manufacturer if it helps.

Hi Red Robin,

Thanks for your response.  I have managed to track down someone from a friend that can get the lights from Germany so hopefully I should have them by Friday  :grin:

Quick question for you, was swapping the inner fog and reverse lenses as straight forward as this site make out it to be? http://www.golfmk5.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1239442 ? 

Also wanted your advise on my thoughts on not swapping the red lens for the fog lamp, but just getting rid of it and buying a chrome/red bulb that lights up red (thus not relying on a red lens).  This way aesthetically from the outside the two lights look the same.  Any thoughts or is this not possible? 

Thanks for your help. :smiley:

Glad you managed to find some!

Yes, swopping lenses is simple. Best to use 'plastic weld' but hot glue will do.

I doubt if you'd get through MOT and it might even be illegal not to have an approved red lens - So, it's up to you but I certainly wouldn't doing as you suggest.

Hi Robin, the source is unsure of whether he wants to start supplying to the general public.  I managed to track this person down via a friend that uses him to get genuine VAG parts from Germany.  He's debating on whether to sell them at the moment as their is not much of a margin in it for him due to the weak pound to euro rate.  However, if he does sell them he will start to do so on ebay.

I should be picking up my lights from him this weekend so hopefully have them fitted in the next week or so.

BTW I checked out the situation with the red lens for the fog light.  My local mechanic/MOT test centre advised me as long as when the fog light is switched on, it lights up red then there is no issues and the car will pass the MOT   :smiley:

So I am going to try and see if I can get away with just removing the red lens from the fog light and purchase a red chrome bulb that I have seen on ebay.  Fingers crossed it works  :grin:
