Thats all to do with frame rate of cameras and the fact that led's do actually strobe at a very high rate. Bit like when you pc screens on tv and the screen appears to be flashing.

G-ladder, any word from your led guy?

Is this ever going to happen?
If cmdrfire is too snowed under and G-lader cant help, is it not worth asking Iulian if he would be interested in sending a shed load of the rings over for a group buy, I know he says he wont sell just the rings anymore but if a load of us all want them he might change his mind for a big order. He's still doing them as you can send them to him for him to mod.

Ok spoke to 2 guys today, Iulian and another chap from youtube. Both have said they are unable to supply the rings. The guy from youtube only deals with passats so doesnt have anything for golfs.
This is Iulians reply.

Hi ,
   I really would not mind selling the led rings but unfortunately for these lights it is not possible. It would be much easier for me too  . The modification  method i've developed  requires me to do it manually due to the interior construction of these lights.
I will have the led rings available for other cars with similar type of lights but for Golf i will have to do it myself . I found no other solution yet.
If you know anyone that has one damaged valeo inner tail light ( broken glass or any other damage except the central cylinder )  maybe i can find a solution . For me buying and entire 4pcs  set just to experiment on one of the inner lights does not make sense especially if i am not sure if it will come out with any result.

Regards,

    Iulian
Im gonna email him back for some more info. will keep you posted

Here are some pics of my 'broken' Valeo unit - It's just the red lens which cracked while being removed.

My mate Chris has drilled the ring ready to receive LED bulbs. He says power must be delivered at 12 volts and then individual LED resistors can be used (5v?).









^ Is this any use so that Iulian can work his magic?
