Has anyone got any pictures of these lights on a black golf. I recentley bought some Hella r32 style ones but one of them has condensation in so i'm returning them. Thinking of getting either genuine r32 ones or leds.

How come only a short time?
@Mark, cheers mate that looks much better than I expected.
What's the best and cheapest place to buy these from?
-
I bought mine about 4 years ago secondhand and also ran them with just the outers.

Can be bought brand new from here http://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/tuning-styling-vw-golf-5-v-led-rear-lights-set-candy-red-for-vw-golf-5-v.htm
-
How much did you pay for them? Are the originals made by Valeo or some other company?
-
Fitted these on mine last week, they look absolutely brilliant :happy2:
-
I quite like these but i think they look odd on reflex silver so iv never bought any!
-
Anyone got a better price than the link above?
-
Are these road legal?
-
Are these road legal?
You have to do the fog light mod to make them legal (as those are LHD). I bought mine off the forum with the mod already done :happy2:
-
Anyone got a better price than the link above?
Yeah the same company's eBay page is selling them 30€ cheaper than their site, I'll find the link when I get in. There was a group buy earlier in the year from them so if there's enough interest you might be able to do another

^^^ now that looks pretty cool! How did he manage to get them black? Anymore pics?
-
They came black from the eBay seller, he had 5 different sets of various combinations, I'll try to find more pics, also the inner led mod was done by jls tuning in romsinia and he coded out the center of the outter lights so there just brake lights

The ebay auction I was on about has ended and not been relisted yet but here was the last one

This is the last GB, so it would give you some idea on discounts and number of people required to make it work

the black version looks pretty cool, mc71 do you still prefer the red ones ?
-
^^^^ lost me, not sure what you mean? I do like the OEM clusters on my Eddy but fancy the LED Valeo units for the better light output and IMHO they look even better.

look at the pic of the blue car, then the black car above it with the german pressed plates, they have a darkened background apposed to the cherry red, looks cool

Personally I prefer the cherry red.

^^^^ out of the 2, me too!
Scott, if you like the look of the clusters on SI-R32's friends car, PM him and see if he can let you know where they are from. Might just be the angle (and light) at which the photo is taken that makes them look black and they are also just the standard Valeo LED Clusters.

No, they are different lights that have black backgrounds. Was mentioned in another thread this week (there seems to be 2 or 3 rear light threads going on right now :laugh:)
-
I have pm'd him, they look interesting
question, do these led lights need coded to work, I ask because I don't have a vcds but could drive to someone who has, but in that time diff would they be safe to use.
mc,,, do you prefer the cherry ones ? gotta admit that pic looks cool though
-
Hi Guys
FYI they are a standard set of OEM Valeo LED clusters, then a German company on ebay.de sprayed a hard wearing black coating around the cheery red area, they modified the standard LED lights into 5 different varieties, unfortunately they don't sell or modify them any more but i have given Scott the company name as they might still be able to do the odd set
there are 2 other slight mods going on in the pic i posted that make them look slightly different, the tail lights in the inner sections of the outer units have been codded out to give a polo (mint) effect this is in combination with the inner sections having a set of SMD LEDs added to them via an external company, this is to give the skyline look, the brake lights still light up as they should and have not been coded with VCDS in anyway.
-
^^^^ nice one. Like the "Polo Mint" mod, might try that! :happy2:
-

I think it was Apollo on here done polo/skyline mod with outers and Inters. I'm still undecided on it myself

hmmm this is getting to complicated for me I think, I am a mod noob with no vcds lol
wish there was a company out there who do the fog light swap over and sell the units in that way, rhd basically although I may buy them and try the swap myself

Sorry fella but after discussion in this thread I keep looking at your sig thinking you need to take the fog reflector out now and it will "even" it up on both sides. My 2 pence worth.

That's how I have mine and I think it definitely looks better with the symmetry :happy2:
I just have a red bulb in the offside light.

looking nice, they look familiar :wink:

Thanks Ed :happy2:
Yes love them. And prefer them without the red fog lens.
P.S. Was a pleasure dealing with you :drinking:

I keep thinking about getting rid of the reflecter but keep changing my mind, plus most things I touch on my car I break lol

guys can I please ask a silly question here
I see the pic both with clear lenses, do you have a pic of a car done the other way for comparison with a red lense, am I right in thinking the other way will produce one of the inner lights with a red round area instead of both being white ?
sorry but I got lost somewhere with all the bulb / lens swaps and trying to figure out how to do these
:ashamed:
-
Have a look at my sig or the pic I posted earlier of my car, it's had the reflector swap done so the red lens is on the drivers side (for the uk). Normally they come with it on the other side (eu drivers side) or the clear ones as posted above is with no reflector and a red coloured bulb put in the drivers side

think I got it now, your signature pic has a small red reflector inside the inside light - is that right, then the other pic is with it all white,,, have I got it now ?
if this is right do I just need to buy a bulb or an inner clear lense as well
im getting there I think dude :innocent:
-
Yeah that red bit is the reflector, you either move it from the left hand unit to the right hand one to make it on the drivers side so both lights have to be dismantled. The other option is to remove that reflector from the left hand lens and put a coloured bulb in the right hand lens so you only dismantle one of the 2 units.

nearly there lol, if I remove the red reflector wouldn't I need to replace it with a new clear one then ?
I guess the bulb that comes underneath the red reflector is just a clear one that shows red due to the red reflector

I don't believe you do but it's best to ask kalpsn2000 as he has modded his where as I bought mine pre modded (2nd hand on here)

thanks for that, I have pmd him, once I find out I will source stock, wish I could just buy them pre done lol like you

I am not 100% sure either as I also bought mine pre modded off Eddie on here.
But I think if you want both clear then just remove the red lens from the nearside light and then put a red bulb in the offside one.
Maybe check with Eddie-NL as I got mine off him.
Regarding the coding, you have to disable the rear light cold lamp testing to prevent the risk of the LED bulbs blowing. But you can still use the lights without this (I currently am) until you can get someone to code that via VCDS.

What an amazing reg plate!
would be very interested in trying to source these ones but still waiting for a reply from last e-bay seller, have pm-d eddie to see if he can supply the European ones, thanks for your help guys

I must say, after a bit of thinking I've decided to stick with the R32 style ones; they give the car a cleaner look IMO. This guy is selling em for €219+€15 for shipping. He says they're original Valeo but are LHD. I can get these and do the fog light switch, no? Will i need to vagcom anything? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121010289196?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
For those interested in the LED ones, there's a guy on eBay with the ID xvw-de who says he's selling them for €307 plus shipping. Now, the thing is he is no longer selling items on eBay and goes he'll send you a paypal payment request, you pay him and he'll post the lights. He does have a lot of positive feedback so seems like a respected seller. Here's a link to him. http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/xvw-de?ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:GB:1181
