Mk6 LED Taillights

**Ryan_R** · 12-11-2011, 07:41 AM

The first time I saw a car with only one reverse I thought it was so stupid having it on the left side (in reverse-parallel park situations there will be times when traffic won't see the reverse light since it's hidden by a parked car. It's pretty rare to use the rear fog light where I am anyway (that said, has anyone tested the visibility of stock vs LED tails in fog???)

Did anything in that group-buy thread confirm if they are the right ones for us? Presumably since the ones with fog lights are designed to EUR/AUS and not USA they would be the right way around for us, and those in USA who got them would have to fiddle with more wiring, get a new switch, and then end up having them around the wrong way.

I placed and paid for the order on 21/10/11 and package arrived on monday 7/11/11. Not bad I'd say. Everything was smooth n easy with installation n coding with vcds was spot on first time!
Again, thank you for the help Ozram and also everyone on this forum for all the knowledge base which couldnt be found elsewhere.
Now if anyone ever needs my assistance in doing this project please feel free to let me know, I'm more than happy to contribute my share.

Have a great weekend,
Ernest

Hey Ernest, mine is on its way from the same contact of Ozram. Just wanted to know if you had to pay any taxes/duty on the parts?

I've got mine on the way from Ozram's contact too. I can't wait to get them

Got a card from Ozzie Post today telling me a parcel is waiting for me.... the lights are here! Thanks Ozram!

They will have to stay in the garage for now though as car is still not here yet

No tax. AFAIK any incoming packages under AUD1000 are exempted from taxes. Nice spec'd car you have on order! I wanted CW as well but couldn't be bothered to wait ....

Thanks mate. Saw a Deep Black GTI with Detroits and LED DRL the other day, I must say it looked damn hot! In fact, I think the GTI looks splendid in any colour when optioned with Detroits.
