Mk6 LED Taillights

His exact words were same front DRL's and rear LED's as the newest GTI adidas. Aren't they the same as the R?

yep, smoked R's

pretty nice that they are now standard - if you have just ordered one that is.

great! i will call barloworld tomorrow and see how mine is traveling and try and get confirmation on the tails for myself! if you dont mind me asking, when did you place your order? seems the delivery times are getting better and better if yours is due late July and is MY11.5.

heres hoping mine will come with them also.. and since Mariani's is a MY11.5 it would apply to those ordered a few months ago, not just recently..

Hi Milos

Placed my order in last week of Feb. Looks like the production and delivery times are much quicker these days. I have a screen shot to show but i dont know how to embedd on a post. Can someone explain how?

As for the new LED Tails... its great news for the 11.5 - If you ticked Xenon's you will have them also. They include a code titled 'PLX' lights and vision package for Xenon.

ah awesome, i ordered mine on the 5th of March. hopefully it comes sooner than later considering my order was after yours i should have the R tails also saves me buying them separately as i was planning to do so about a month before the car arrived. and yep i have optioned the Xenons - i was aware the 11.5 came with the new DRL's!

upload your image to image hosting website (i.e. imageshack) and then link it into your post. use the advanced post route and you'll see an icon to insert an image, should be self explanatory from there!

The problem with all this is that
1) The MY11.5 specifications have been known for months
2) There was no mention in the VW MY11.5 communication sent to dealers
3) You can find a detailed summary with tables and diagrams of that update detailed at Maverick's site
4) MY11.5 GTI's with Xenons have already been delivered to customers and they do not come with LED tail-lights.
5) Don't believe me, look at the pictures of an Australian delviered MY11.5 here (care of our forum member DRL

I have enquired to a known and trusted dealer about whether anything has changed (maybe with the MY12 cars for example) and will update you when I know more. But MY11.5 cars don't come with LED tail lights on GTIs. Sorry guys.

[MiiLos]

i see your point Corey, and i am finding it hard to believe that the MY11.5 does come with LED tails. my belief is that Mariani's GTI has fallen under a MY12 build, heres hoping mine has also as i dont think it would have gone into/left production yet.

i will be contacting my dealer around lunchtime today and will update with i am told.

Hi guys, was anyone able to get a definitive answer on the R tails come standard on the Gti? I called my dealer and he had not heard of anything

[Corey_R]

I asked two other trusted dealers and they both said that there has been no communication from VGA in relation to MY11.5 GTI's coming with them (as per the info in the link in my previous post). I'm also told was also no information in the MY12 update communcation on this topic. One said he thought that maybe Mariani's dealer had got confused with the GTI Adidas. One of the dealers said that they've got a GTI with Xenon's arriving this week and he'll let me know if anything has changed...

[luke233]

Cheers for that mate. I think I will be safe ordering a set of R tails from Germany. Can you let us all know if you hear anything from your trusted sources.

[Mariani]

Corey... You got me paranoid now. I hope I'm not being told porky pies from my dealer. His exact words were the same front DRL's and rear LED's will be on your MY11.5. Very bizarre.

I guess it's now officially a case of fingers crossed.
