R32/Ed30 Rear Lights
« on: October 19, 2012, 11:04:23 am »
I fancy getting a set of R32/ED30 (are they basically the same?) rear lights for my GTI.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best place to pick them up?

Awesome GTI have them for £227
Ebay has them for £182

I see genuine ones pop up in the for sale section on here. Keep an eye out. They are usually priced about £150-160.

i ordered a single unit from these guys when one of them started to leak water and stained on the inside.  Came quickly and was indeed a proper vw part

I ordered mine from eurowagens originally and they work fine, but recently the passenger side one has condensed up. I ordered a single unit last week as i thought i better change it ,after i tried lots of things to stop it. And when i swapped them over i was very surprised by the amount of water that came out of it. Is this a common problem ?

It is actually just a fit problem.  I took my old one off to dry out a couple of times but turns out my error was not securing it extremely tight to the car.  I only had the nuts finger tight but tightening them with a spanner to the body of the cars pulls the unit together and creates the seal.

I used a socket to secure mine but i did not want to do it too tight because at the end of the day its a plastic unit

Are those Eurowagen ones genuine parts? Is it Hella that make them?
