First pic on this link is what 90mm LED Angel eye rings look like http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,69555.45.html
Iv been working on this mod for a while and come up quite a few issues that I wasn't happy with but found solutions for most of them. Still working out the final problem but life has caught up with me so it's on the back burner for a while

Depending on what you'll accept on your car will depend if the issues Iv had will concern you but some if my problems were...
Finished look after taking the lens off, colour match of outer and inners, half brake to full circle brake to quad brake, heat issues with wiring, resistance with wiring, bulb out warning light, colour warmth of inners, dark/light spots in inners, electronics, clean power supply to LED's etc etc. I didn't want an it'll do set up so kept going to what I have now. Find me on Instagram and Youtube under the same username as there is quite a lot of info there.
If your desperate for quad lights there is a chap on Facebook who is using my first method that'll take some money from you to do a version of the skyline mod.

Fitting bulbs is a waste of time in my opinion as it looks very very different to the outers. I didn't even try that method as Iv seen them and I didn't like the end result. @JoeDarKa has tried that method so he may be able to assist  :happy2:

there is a guy on facebook who does the mod, he sends you out a set of lights with LED rings fitted with wires out the back, look for Mk5 golf skyline modded lights. Ric is the guys name

If you just put 2 bulbs in, you will get 2 very obvious bright spots with darker spots too. It looks rubbish.

I also had to cut away part of the metal in the boot so i definitely wouldnt bother! I had the skyline rings but they kept steaming up whilst cleaning it so went back to standard
