Mk6 LED Taillights

[Meloy]

Anybody had any experience with these?
Would like to chuck some LEDs on the golf but can't really justify $700+ for lights

Thanks
Jake

09 12 Volkswagen VW Golf 6 VI MK6 Smoked RED LED Tail Lights """Golf R Style""" | eBay

Hi Jake, saw those, but decided the 'style' was too far off OEM R lights. The led clustering and curve is different, and the height of the reverse/clear lense part is too tall compared to OEM.

I went with SET OF Dark Cherry LED Integrate Tail Lights Lamp FIT FOR VW Golf MK6 GTI | eBay
And the proportions seem accurate to the original.
Slightly more, but I can vouch for the final outcome.

They look good! How was the install? Any coding? Issues? The eBay ad says it's plug and play, but are there any catches with that?!

Very pleased with ebayer. Made sure he sent me corrected sided fogs. Boxed within a box, and individually padded and lenses wrapped in protective film.

Anxious about the install, but it took less than 30mins. Vw sure made it simple, two hex head bolts for the inner boot lights, and one hand tightened plastic washer screw for the main outer lights. True plug and play. He told me via email, no coding, but the inner dash bulb fault did light up. Doesn't stop operation, just means I need to go to our indi garage and get it coded out.

Price good, lense quality good, fit perfect. So all up - I'd recommend them for sure.

Thanks for the review sVWatt, will have another look at the cheaper ones and make a call later on.

Good to know at least that there is a decent set in the middle of the price range.

Thanks

Just interested in fit, quality, need to code etc?

Anyone here dealt with the JKU mob in QLD? They tell me installation is $250 plus $799 for the lights which are genuine VW

$250 for installation is a LOT! There's heaps of DIYs out there and its not a hard job. Also don't need many tools etc.

Agree. It's a 30min swap over job. Only thing really is the re-coding required.
But if your not mech minded DIYer then $250 for install, code and testing will give you peace of mind.
I do like the end result. The LED lights sure make a difference.

I paid $162 for install and recoding in Sutherland, Sydney. I did it mainly for peace of mind and also didn't have the ability to recode. Took about 1 hour all up. Very happy with result. I agree in hindsight, it is an easy install but at the time, I had no idea how to do it.
