Title: MK6 Golf GTI Tail lights - Conversion to the L shaped R
Post by: Quadrophenia on August 26, 2016, 10:58:01 pm

Hi. I've recently bought a 2010 MK6 Golf GTI. I'm keen on changing the taillights to the Golf R / L shape lights.

Anyone recommend any specific manufacturers for the lights?

There's a few sellers on ebay doing them for £200-£250.

Some state there will be no error code, and some state there will be an error.

Are they easy to install? Looks pretty easy..

Any help appreciated.

P.S Sorry if this has been covered before, I did a little search and nothing much came up.

Thanks.

I've fitted a set of the eBay specials and they work no problem. They don't take long to fit either. The quality of the finish isn't VW but niether is the price.

I've heard good things about the xenonzuk Mk6 headlights on golfgtiforum regarding quality and cost. They do LED rear lights too http://www.xenonz.co.uk/golf-rgtigtd-led-rear-lights.html
