Group Buy: R-Dash LED Licence Plate

[aussietig]

Fellas, plan to get these direct from R-Dash via their AliExpress store:







This is a special fitment for my Tiguan (MY11) and confirmed to be error free and a complete plug n play, swap & replace unit.

Following discount applies, if we buy bulk.

Sherry Chueh:
Hi Hugh, we did this way and installed on Tiguan, no error.
The price is $55 per set send by FedEx international priority.
Our aliexpress store do not sell $45 send by standard airmail.
Aliexpress store do not accept Paypal payment but accept credit card, so it is convenient too.
If you buy 2 sets at a time, get $15 discount
4 sets, get $40 discount
6 sets, get $ 75 discount.

At the moment, you can get them from eBay resellers for $45 shipped but they are using standard airmail and not FedEx.
But unfortunately, none have ones compatible for MY11+ Tigs and only mainly stock ones for Mk5 & Mk6 Golfs.

NOTE: Those with MY10 and lower Tigs, should be able to get away with using the Golf ones on eBay. But not later Tigs!

Anyhow, please let me know (by Monday) if anybody else interested.

They should be able to now make ones for MY11+ Gen 1 and Gen 2 Tigs.

But please provide your VIN for them to double check compatibility.

Definitely interested.

As you say pretty much all of the other LED license plate lights that fit a Tig will throw errors on the later models.

The only other error free one that I found was here: VW TIGUAN License Number Plate Light Lamps LED UPGRADE WHITE Canbus No Error

Or you can buy direct off the mylitco.com website a little cheaper

Trust me I've tried all types of LED festoon bulbs, from cheap to expensive.

The difference is just how long before the error light pops up on the MFD.

My current festoon just went and lasted about 6 months.

Just fcuking sick of changing them!


P.S. The pic used by mylitco are R-Dash based on the same company logo licence plate. So probably a reseller.

But how are they cheaper at $60 AUD or even from their website (after you add shipping)?

Yes probably same source. The ebay ones are $60, and the mylitco.com work out a bit cheaper (than the ebay ones). Probably because they're not paying ebay fees.

Anyway your ali-express ones look like the way to go. The only thing we've got to work out is most cost effective way of getting the shipped to everyone.

For those worried about these R-Dash replacement numberplate lights throwing up an error on your dash....they won't. I have the same brand numberplate lights in my Golf and they work perfectly. No error - no globes blowing - no issues. Had them since about mid way through last year and no issues with them what so ever.

You can buy these with confidence.

Thanks for the feedback buddy!

But there's also a whole thread of mine raving on about all their interior LEDs that I have fitted already.

These licence plate ones will finish off the whole suite, unless they do fogs and parkers one day.

Reversing Lights Tiguan any ideas?

Whilst they are expensive, I can definitely vouch that every one of them are still radiating the brightest pure white without any blue tinge.

Actually I told a fib ... I don't have their full suite/kit because they also don't make both front and back reading lights for Tigs with sunroofs.

Something I will be asking them to see if they can rectify.

I'm happy to pick up the tab for local shipping (i.e. from my place to yours) if you really are serious tigger73.

Prepared to offer this to 2 more people.

But hopefully not everyone is interstate.


Again ... will be pulling out the credit card tomorrow night (regardless of discount or not)!

So let me know before then.

For those interested in what premium pricing gets you:

The brightest of bright and absolute pure white!


R-Dash (18 SMDs) vs Festoon (6 x 5050 SMDs)







Also no more bulb out warning on my MFD!


Check out the size of the resistor compared to the in-built one on the festoon.
Expect this to do the job for the lifetime of the LED.

Only problem is no where to tie it down to.
Have it moving around inside the boot lid at the moment.
