....Okay!

I've just been out in the rain and taken a pic in my yard but couldn't reproduce the natural sunlight of somewhere like Arizona for some reason I couldn't understand :wink:.

As will now be pretty obvious from my pic, I'm confident that he put on his hazard lights and snapped his pic while on. The natural lighting and angle (as opposed to mine) is much more convincing in his pic. Putting on hazards for a photoshoot is an old trick often done for added effect rather than to fool mod-hungry GTI enthusiasts like us! :evil:

....Thanks!! :smiley:

I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your red R32! I've seen magazine pics and think that the Mk5 R32 looks best in red. Tornado Red is an especially good red :cool:

Those type of side lights (just the strip coming on) come with cars with xenon lights.  Normal side lights i.e. inner round ones come with cars with standard lights.

....Cheers for info, orca :smiley:.

I bet the next generation of Xenons (or their equivalent) have LED strips. The Scirocco hasn't though.

It's just the outside half of the strip that come on so I guess the photos must have been done with the hazards, like your picture.  Or there was some funny natural lighting going on.
