I would keen pending depending on the cost etc. I will be getting LED tails, just have not decided from where yet.
I have found that the good thing about a group buy is that there are at least (x) amount of people with the exact same product which means that each can can lend a helping hand when it come to trouble shooting.
I'm interested as well :)

I'm guessing the easiest thing to do is wait for the R to hit the dealers, then start asking around for dealer price vs importing. Then at least we'll know the correct Aussie parts required, and if anyone gets stuck with installation they can hire their dealer to help them out.
yes i think thats a good approach.. I would be interested in looking at getting them as well! :) :)
why is there LHD and RHD.... will tail lights make any difference?
If you order it from that website it will be nearly 1k shipped with the adapter?
Just wondering what people are willing to pay for a set with the adapter including shipping?
1k is a bit too much for a set of headlights to be honest..
Yeah it is steep for the taillights, but they look sweet!Quote:

Have just been told that my Mk 6 GTI should be delivered by early July!!!!! Drool drool! I love my Mk 5 but it is time to move on. My dealer can't shed much light on the LED tail lights and I have read that they MAY become standard for GTI this year in Europe. They really do look amazing. Maybe I'll get a pleasant suprise and the car will land in Oz with them anyway. Unlikely. I would most definitely be up for a group buy, plan on asking my service dept about what they would charge (if they do it) and would likely be under warranty then. I am more than happy playing around with the electrics on my '63 Morris 850 with Cooper S goodies but maybe not a modern Vee Dub. Actually I did have a near fire in the Mini after I fitted a new tacho!
My old man is waiting for an R so maybe I might just swap the tail lights over one night, he'd never notice! Bingo!
The 2011 model year will only begin with vehicles manufactured after July anyway, so even if VWA were to include them as standard for MY11 (and my personal opinion is that's unlikely), chances are you won't get them on a car delivered in July. So yeah, don't count on it. ;)Quote:
