Why aren't such reflectors on the GTI? Sorry, I'm a little confused.

Always wondered why the R32 has the seperate reflectors when they are included in the all the OEM lights

....It seems typically American!

Those aren't OEM LEDs. They also don't include reflectors which are required by law... you will need an R32 bumper with the reflectors.


....Ah! I thought the reflectors were a legal requirement but wasn't sure. Is that requirement in the UK? EC?

It's an EU requirement IIRC and all the OEM lights on the Golf (normal, LED, R32/Ed30) have them running along the lower edge as Very Cherry says.
