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!

As for RHD and LHD I'd say its got to do with the fog and reverse light being on opposite sides perhaps?

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!

Yep, that's right. Rear fog should be on driver's side for RHD cars.

If only the tight buggers would make twin fogs/reverse lights it wouldn't be a problem and we might actually have a chance of seeing something when reversing at night time. The best car we have for reversing at night is the Mk1, by far, haha.
