Wait till you can get a VCDS scan of your car so we can verify the part and revision numbers..

Ah ok that makes sense. I think I'll do the scan first before deciding what I need.

Will work on the RVC before doing at the tail lights.

Could anyone suggest where I could find an OEM set for a decent price? I have checked Jku and Boldsport as mentioned throughout the thread, but both are near $1k shipped which is too steep for me. I really am against a set of replicas such as CT autoparts ($400~), but the price difference is too big.

Also, if anyone does have replicas, could you please advise me on the quality and reliability of the set.

Thanks!

Hi,

Need help on getting the code for my LED rear's i have recently fitted to my GTI, so i can get the warning light to go off. Where do i start to find out getting this information? i thought these lights were play n play? they are OEM and not copy's.

Thanks

John

Same problem here, maybe a group buy could be next step. I had a look at some replicas on the internet, there is a good brand out there but it is hit and miss in regards, to installation, they can have a huge gap under the light and I dont really want to risk it and I think Genuine is the best way to go if you are pretty anal about the little things.

Volkswagen Has both VW and Hella LED tails. Hella is the lights OEM for VAG, so they're actually the exact same thing, just they have a Hella part number, and are a bit cheaper. AFAIK they only carry the cherry red Hella tails, where as you can get cherry and dark cherry vw parts.

Unfortunately with the dollar at where it is at the moment (and that it will stay around the same, if not drop a bit, since it's been overvalued for a while, see the RBA's minutes for the past 2 years lol), that's just how much you'll pay, at the moment.

Exactly. I (like many in this thread) bought my tails from a German VW dealer, and the price back then - which is pretty much as keen as anyone in this thread has achieved - was still around $850 with today's exchange rate.

Would you be able to comment on the quality of these Replicas or the Company itself?

Just installed these the other day. Depo LED's. Got them for $350 delivered! The fit is pretty much spot on. I did have to fiddle around quite a bit to get them to sit right. The only minor issue I had (and it is very minor) was a very small dag on the corner which I just filed off. No coding etc required so an easy plug a play install.

Ignore that the left side isn't illuminated.... It's just the camera not able to pick it up for some reason?
But all in all I'm really happy.
