Has anyone ordered these LED tails from TM Tuning in Germany? I notice they sell the OEM R Line cherry red LED tails for US$749 and the adapter cables and code box. Would like to get some but the wife is not too keen on me spending more money on the car.

This thing you call a 'wife', I must have one built into me somewhere, because as much as I like them + being single + being able to afford them, I too am not keen on that price just for those lights

Sorry to bring this thread back and if this has been answered already. Does anyone know if fitting the LED light will void the warranty of the car? I have read in another forum that someone got an email from VW (in the US i think) saying that fitting them will void it (the entire car). Logically, I would say that warranty will just not cover the rear lights if something goes wrong but shouldn't affect the rest of the car, surely this is right?
For those of you that had the lights for over a year, can you please share your experience on whether any issues have came up (e.g. electrical problem...etc)? Thanks in advance.

Under normal circumstances you'd be right, and only the tails should be excluded from warranty. The only exception I can think of is if your tail lights (either directly or as a result of the installation / your coding) damage some other vehicle components, then VW would probably be within their rights to not cover those parts under warranty. However, in practise I'm confident there is no issue - these are VW parts designed for the Golf. Of course I can't give you any guarantees.
I've had mine almost 12 months now; not a single issue. They work great and look fantastic.
