These are bog standard lights that have been tinted more than likely with a tail light tint spray

They are bogo lights sprayed. The ed30 / r32 lights have a black backing / under side, these look to have a red backing / under side.

Gti rears are the same as any other golf

To be fair, the advert does say they are not genuine r32's

Thanks for your help

Its say not edition 30 but thought he was trying to sell them as original R32 lights. After speaking to him today hes confirmed they have been sprayed.

Sending them back for a refund.
