Is there a step by step fitting guide anywhere, I'm thinking about investing but unsure on the inners. Do you have to strip the boot apart?

Awesome! Thanks Bolle good work.

I used Babelfish to translate some of the text on the guide, perfect!

Bolle, thanks again.

Hi guys
I'm interested in these myself...

I'm just wondering if you buy these lights on ebay or from fischer, do they suit RHD cars? Aren't the foglight/reverse light on opposite sides on LHD (continental) cars? If you get an LHD set, wouldn't you have a problem with the reverse lamp lens?

cheers!

....There's a whole thread on this subject in great detail if you do a Search.

In short, it's easy to just swop the reverse and fog inner lenses without any rewiring.

I got my set last week, and can confirm its a very easy job to do. You just need a small straight screwdriver, a small cross head/pozi drive screwdriver, 10mm ring spanner and 10mm ratchet. The fog light and reversing light "inners" can be popped out and swapped over by undoing 3 screws on the back of the inner lights, then there are 3 tabs you prise out with the small screwdriver.

The whole job took me about 30 mins from start to finish, including waxing the bodywork behind the lights once I'd removed them!

No wiring changes or Vag Com required, just plug in and play.

They look an awful lot better than standard pinky ones.  :angry:

Thanks Red / NewGolf, thats good news. Some online sellers specify rhd/lhd, some don't. Sounds like it doesn't matter either way!
