Whaddya think?
Quite like them myself, I think they suit silver and white
-
Looks good.
Just happened to have a set hanging around did you??
Also that is one tight parking job!
-
The world's narrowest garage, or is it just my gammy eyes?! :signLOL:
-
Can't beat a bit of 'bling' - look good
How did you overcome the swapping of the fog light lens? I know a few people have posted ideas but the options appear to be glue or gun or TIG
Fancy some myself where are they from?
-
ditch the GB badges on the bumper :sick: u only need them on the plate
-
Looking Good.
After seein u at stallers lastwk i went home and ordered myself one of them rear spoilers from osir. It's getting fitted tomorrow morning :wink:

looks like the car has a baseball cap on in that pic :grin:
-
I think they look great on RS John! :happy2:
-
Looks good, the silver part of the LED interiors goes alot better on the silver paint, think it would be too much of a contrast on my black paint. Have been looking for some ED30 lights if you decide to stick with the LED's let em know! :drool:
-
They look much better on silver/white cars.
-
Lights look very nice :happy2: Very OEM!
Could you take a pic to show how much gap there is between the wall and your car!! :grin:
Can't believe there's enough space for a wing mirror (even folded!) between the wall and the car!!!
-
Looking good Hurdy, :happy2: gives a very clean look rear :grin:

Yip those dont look good on black at all. Looks good on silver though, im sure RR has them on his red gti and they look good on that too.
Good Choice Mate !
-
I think they look tons better, good choice :happy2:
One question though, where's your sub gone? Preparing for the ring are we? :grin:
Edit: seems like that bulb out warning didn't matter then :grin:
-
I think you should remove them and send them south john. :wink:
-
Im liking these lights a lot just now :scared: :scared:
nice change :happy2:

loooksweeeet! iv gotsome to put on and justhope they look that good on my black!

matsu

Look good John, Glad you like them , love mine!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Those LED tails particularly suit white and silver cars but they also look ok on red.. and grey.. and blue..
They look OEM because they are OEM.
-
Look very nice John & look better on a Silver GTi... BUT... i still prefer the OEM rear lights if im honest
Sawwweeett Jezus - how close have you parked your car there :scared:
-
The world's narrowest garage, or is it just my gammy eyes?! :signLOL:
The Garage is 8'6" wall to wall. I park with precision about an inch from the rear arch and front wing mirror, so I can put the door on the first open rest point without it hitting the wall. :laugh:
None of you mentioned it is a long garage as I'm taking that pic from only halfway through the rear section of the garage. Single width, double depth, these 1950's houses really knew how to use the space :signLOL:
Looking Good.
After seein u at stallers lastwk i went home and ordered myself one of them rear spoilers from osir. It's getting fitted tomorrow morning :wink:
Fit it yourself, it is easy and only takes 10 mins :happy2: Wouldn't mind looking at that when it is fitted too :drool:

The lights are provisionally sold straight away to a member on here :smiley:

I thought that you'd finished with modding Steve :P
ditch the GB badges on the bumper :sick: u only need them on the plate
I didn't know that. They will be off tomorrow then :happy2:
Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. Once I saw the lights on I knew it was a good moveJust needs a good valet now.

and for all those amazed at my parking skills......

OMG!
Do you park with a side parking sensors?
-
leds look great john :congrats:, you must of scraped your mirror a couple of times getting that close?!! :scared:
-
and for all those amazed at my parking skills..
My garage is a tad narrower than yours. I have a 2 inch thick plank of wood lined up against both walls on the ground. If the back tyre is touching the plank and the wing mirror is almost touching the wall, then the driver side door will open to the first notch its bump strip will still be touching the other wall!
Unfortunately my car needs a respray! :sad1:
-
nice work John, :happy2: they really suit a silver car (and white)
-
not usually a fan of these lights but they look right at home on your RS. good work :happy2:
-
John, do what I did. My garage is a bit narrow as well, so I just fitted an offcut of carpet to the drivers side wall. In that case I can open either the front or rear door, and if they open to far, it only touches carpet.
Love the LED's BTW. :happy2:
-
Awesome parking skills hurdy, and even a small garage is better than no garage, :sad1: I like the fact that you obviously have to avoid the drain pipe by the garage door as well and swing it over once inside!

Hi Hurdy, I know it has been a while since the last post on this subject but I think these lights look great, where did you buy them? Did you have to modify them in any way ie reverse/fog light or were they for UK spec.? Are they genuine VW parts? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks
-

:congrats: thats parking skills!
i wouldnt trust myself to do that. one late night and an early rise for work would see me minus two wing mirrors and some major resprays.
having had a wing mirror wiped out by some *very nice person* i know how much they cost...stealerships! but i must applaud...cracking parking
lights look good too haha

I bought them off a member on here. They are Valeo euro spec lights and needed the reverse and foglights swapping over.
See my project thread linky.
