Take a look at the cherry red led lights on the R32 in this link

Has anyone fitted these?

Might fit a set myself!

Is that a no then?

Often you see some new addition and think you need it because its new but in actual fact I don't even know if these lights suit the mk5........

I'm 50:50 now between ed30 ones and these!

Same! I think they would only suit a silver car though.

Although it's good to have a car that's different to the rest, I believe the best lights on the mk5 were the ed30 ones. Just darker I believe.

i think it depends on the colour of both car and lights. Personally i am not a fan of the super dark lights, but i believe you can get cherry red ones which i think would look tidy on a black mk5.

The ED30 do look best on the golf. imho anything else looks different and not cool again depending on the colour of the car.

My 10p...

The LED 6R style work if you have an R32 rear, otherwise the ED30/R32 dark cherry style lights work better. Personally, I prefer the look of the R32/ED30 lights on a mk5, the LED shape works better with the slightly squat shape of the mk6.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

These are the ed30 lookalike ones from eBay at only $125 plus shipping.

What do you think?
