Title: LED MKV Rear Lights
Post by: Kingabzyy on September 04, 2012, 09:16:58 pm: ok guys im new to the modding game so need abit of help. basically i want to get these LED mk6 GOLF GTI like Rear Lights, there E Marked which should mean im allowed to use them in the UK? i think there from germany. do you guys think i will need to make modifications in order to fit in place or will be straight swap?

Can anyone shed some light on this and thanks in advance.

Having said that I'm only going by pictures.

I have these on my car. Fitted them couple weeks ago, and yes you need to reverse the fog and reverse lights. (I didn't know this when buying them)

I have to agree !

I don't like them at all even when lit, they just don't look like Orginal mk6 items, it just look really cheap and tacky.

Just my personnel opinion.
