Mk6 LED Taillights

[Converted]

so someone in perth does the LED's?? do you know Converted or have you just seen them around?

Yes, in Perth! Was lucky enough to spot two if 'em, two days in a row.
Surprisingly, the sister of the TSi owner responded to one of my post on another forum, hopefully I'll hear from him soon as I would like to seek some advice from him (I know that there have been a fair bit written on this here). Nice to see some in Perth. Apparently one night another Golf followed this TSi all the way back home to have a good look at his LEDs.
The other was a white 5-door GTi in Subi, spotted it just as I was leaving work.
I think both their's were the R-line cherry red lights (un-tinted). Can't wait to get my hands on some Golf R tinted ones.
Are you planning on getting a set, blanch0b?

Id love to get some Converted, just not sure where to get them from and who to install (i would not attempt to do it myself, im handy around my house but hanvt yet made the transition to tinkering with my brand new car!)

Id go the golf R tinted LED's as untinted will look a bit boy racerish i think..... let me know what u end up doing!

Yea same here, I don't even trust myself with DIY home improvements.
I know where to get them on ebay plus some of the other recommended sites on this forum, just waiting to hear back from the TSi driver re installation (who did his and using which mode of recoding) and model type (with or without fogs) before I place an order.
Will let you know as this progresses.

It's really, really easy blanch0b; I'm the opposite of handy with most things, but even I managed to fit my tails without trouble. Just follow the great guides posted in this forum, and you'll be laughing inside of 30 minutes.

If you're after a good source of the tails, PM Ozram and he'll happily pass on the contact details of the supplier he, I and several others have used.

Jesus... with all you GTI and TSI owners putting LEDs on your cars, I might have to get some TSI or GTI lights and put them on my R

Coreying, I think you're on to something here , the GTI and TSI lights do look good on the R!!! My sympathies to all R owners.

[blanch0b]

i may have two spare if u want to buy them off me Coreying..... ill even give u a good price (buy one, get one free!)

I'll keep reading to see what you WA lads do and get mine done as well. Already decided it will be the tinted ones to go with the CG body.

Now all i would love to do it get Xenon type headlights and spots

Not doing anything else to the exterior.

Well I'm keeping my GTI tail lights... back in the days of R33 Skyline ownership , nothing is MORE PATHETIC to see a GTS-t owner putting on some GTR- rear spoiler , grill and badges on a rwd less superior R33 Gtst.. a straight giveaway is the RWD GTST has longer side blinkers on the front guards and has no bulge on the guards...

So I'm not gonna make my GTI look like something it's not. money best spent elsewhere.

You are quite right rs73, I used to think that and still do but in this case (for me and possibly most included in this conversation) it is not about trying to get our GTis/Golfs to be like an R, in fact we are very proud to be associated with the iconic VW GTi/Golf itself . I/we just (truly) prefer the LEDs over the stock half-moon ones, aesthetically.
