I'd avoid the second choice they look 

There's always the option of the 30 edition lights

Ye the first i wasnt too sure about, i saw them on a golf on this site ( http://www.vwgolf.net.au/showthread.php?12036-Mk5-golf-GTI-led-tail-lights-opinions-please ) and thought they looked pretty good. I like the style of the white circles on the other ones, would like to have a set with no red colour at all if that's possible

They don't look too bad in that pic, but it's what they look like when they're switched off

Ye thats what i was worried about, i guess i will go for the other ones

Those second ones! 

The first ones are "copies" (not sure of thier quality) of the OEM European Valeo LED clusters. The Valeo units pop up on here a fair bit and usually sell (second hand) for around £200. New Valeo LED's sell for around £300+ IIRC.

As mentioned, the ED30/R32 units are an option, their darker (more Red, less Pink) and look good.


Valeo LED Clusters on mine.....

I've got Valeo's aswell and they do look good on the blue

[jack_maxwell]

Where can i get those lights from then and im guessing you had to switch the lens for the fog and reverse lights?

[MC71]

^^^^ they pop up on here in the "For Sale" section from time to time for around £200 or can be bought brand From German eBay...

Or from Kunzsman online....

And the fog/reverse reflector mod is best described here by Hurdy....

R32s tbh
Those Valeo LED ones look fine on red but not a fan on Blue.

I like your standard ones. Don't like the white ones
