Just received email from my dealer because I was abit concerned about this issue. The spec sheet shows that the LED registration plate light seems to be standard on the GTI performance pack. He sent me the spec sheet for it which is not released on the website yet. (give me a PM for those whose interested in seeing it)

Good luck with that... You don't have them until the car gets here...

That's all good until vwa say there was a mistake on the dealers spec sheet..

I think someone confirmed on the gti discussion thread that the PP is indeed LED registration plate light.

Yeah but I had a printed brochure which was given to dealers by VWA marketing department, sat in there dealerships for months

And then they worked out they stuffed up, so screw the new car purchaser.

hahaha yeah indeed, they also said to me that there was a misprint and that normal GTIs won't get it anymore unless they can show the brochure that was used as a reference at the time of purchase. Scary...

That's correct, normal GTI's don't come with the led number plate lights. It's when you option the xenons they are included in that package.

Yup can confirm, they turned it on for me to see.

In my previous post I mentioned that vwa are now saying that you won't get led plate lights on a standard gti, even if you choose the xenon package. My dealer is bearing the cost of the retro fit

Yes. But what about all the people that bought Golfs with xenons over the past 11 months? No one even noticed the missing led plate lights until I posted about it two weeks ago.

I'm happy, got mine fitted last week.

It's an excellent point. I guess those people will need to argue it with their dealer.
I'll admit that I only checked it because of what you said. Lucky for me my salesman has been great.

Licence plate light replaced by dealer at their own cost. Thumbs up to the dealership for handling this issue in a timely and professional manner. Thumbs down to VWA for walking away and not wanting to take responsibility. I'm really struggling to believe "it's a printing problem" when other VWA cars with Xennon's as an option e.g. EOS, Jetta have LED licence plate lights as standard when Xennon's are ordered.
