Mk6 LED Taillights

Apparently the fancy lights are now on the standard MY10 GTI in the UK.

Here is a video with some exhaust note as well (I think this is a third party mod of the GTI and not the R or MY10 GTI):

love the LEDs! reminds me of the Rogue Traders song "I see you watching me, watching you"

hmmm... wonder if they'll fit on a regular MK VI

Although I dont have confirmation of it. You would think that the new GTIs that have just been brought into the country would be early MY10 cars wouldnt you?. None of the pictures I have seen to date have had LEDs. Would be great if they were going to be though! Someone needs to get close enough to check a VIN

Yup, that's the 09 Worthersee Concept that VW created as a once off a couple of months back (along with a modified Polo)

Do you have a link to the UK forum where these discussions are happening? Would be interested in seeing what they're saying about the upgrades and how they came across the info since the GTI specs on the UK site hasn't been updated since July (with no mention of LED rear lights or smart key 'keyless' entry).

I just did a quick research and this is the forum posts he's talking about:

It's pretty interesting as there are pictures in the UK GTI forum with what appears LED lights of GTI on the Frankfurt motorshow floor.

I would love for these to be on the AU model of the GTI but i would highly doubt it.

Video of the GTI with the LED and start/stop button seems like a weird place to put it but that's just me. The GTI comes in around the 5:45 min mark. Enjoy!

Definitely a surprise!

It does makes things interesting.... So it'll either be introduced for the MY10 model or (most likely) as part of MY11. I'm hoping the former rather than the latter of course (perhaps VW Oz had actually held off from releasing the official oz GTI spec sheet because there are some last minute updates to the specs?). One could only hope. I guess we'll find out this month!
