Title: R32 tail lights
Post by: Jonny on February 08, 2012, 01:57:39 pm: Hey guys just browsing ebay and these popped up... apparently r32 tail lights, but they look light to me, or is it just the flash on the camera?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220949363652?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1431.l2649#ht_500wt_1413

What do you guys think.... r32 or standard gti?

Cheers

And the way he's worded the listing "believe these are genuine lights as they have the VW stamps on them but I'm not 100%."

Just seems like he suspects himself that they're not the real deal otherwise why even say that?

I could be wrong though!

:happy2:

EDIT:

Best thing to do would be email him and ask him for the part numbers stamped on the back, you can double check it then

:happy2:

Good idea, just pm'ed him so I'll wait for the response :D

In the meantime I'll search the forum for the r32 part numbers & get my bloody sidelight bulbs out.... Need strength of five men to get these buggers out :fighting:

In the past ive tried getting my hand down there and pulling at the wires and its nearly impossible!

This is what i noticed when i got a genuine set of R32 tail lights to fit on my car...... the back of the standard GTI ones are grey with black bulb carriers and the fog/reverse lights are red on the back..... R32 ones were completely black on the back on all 4 lights :happy2:

Post by: Jonny on February 08, 2012, 08:41:59 pm: Well the guy's come back with these part numbers for the lights in ebay:

1K6 945 095 Q
1K6 945 096 Q
1K6 945 094 F
1K6 945 093 F

I'm just comparing them with normal tail lights part numbers and these seem similar :confused:

Can anyone confirm these are the correct r32 part numbers below

1K6 945 093 K inner left
1K6 945 094 K inner right
1K6 945 095 T outer left
1K6 945 096 T outer right

Thanks

Post by: Little_Dave on February 08, 2012, 08:58:05 pm: I Can't remember the full part numbers without removing the lights from the car but i do know it had K and T at the ends of them :happy2:

HTH
