Where do you get the OEM LED's from then do you know?
That's all I want to know really, I reckon I can work out the rest.

No idea Nick. I would ask the question, but out of respect for his situation, I figure best to wait for him to contact me when it's got better. If I do find out, I'll be sure to let you know.

Nick I have not heard back from the other guy as yet, but have a look at this link. The guy mentions which LED's he uses.

Hopefully this is of some use to you?

Thanks, I've just got to source the Valeo LEDs from somewhere now.

Not too sure what to do about a flexible PCB as space is very tight. Might just make a circuit with the SMD's and mount to some rigid plastic sheet.

I noticed the edition35 has its inners lit up when following one. Maybe the loom can be used to help with this?

....But the Ed35 is a Mk6 and has different light units and probably a different loom.

Nick, just to let you know, that chap got back in touch with me. I have my rings coming next week hopefully. I asked him about rings for the GTi, but he hasn't come back to me on that yet. He uses OEM Osram LED's, not sure of the spec, but will ask him about it again.

Glad this thread has popped up again as i wanted to give some advice, obviously a lot of you guys want to do this yourself, i hate to say this as i also never like other people doing things on my car, but i would highly recommend not doing this your self, once there heated up slightly to make it more malleable you can still very easy still crack the lights , do you want to buy another set?? send them to OZ and get the bloke over there to do it.

more to the point i wanted to also give some feed back on the Romanian site JLS Tuning and its owner Iulian Dinu, if you ever decide to use him be warned as my lights took 2 months 1 week from send to receive, i had multiple lies and excuses given as to why there not on there way back and were never given a tracking number back? but to his credit his work is very good although the top point of the passenger side has a little crack in it

Who does this mod now? And how much does it cost?
Are there more then 1 way to do this mod? I've seen different mods at youtube but all i want is the inner ring to work as parking light, don't need to use it as a brake light...
