R32 rear lights
« on: January 30, 2012, 07:50:04 pm »
I was wondering if anyone had bought or heard anything about these R32 rear lightshttp://www.eurowagens.com/en/vw/golf-5-jetta-5/r32-rear-lights-vw-golf-5-genuine.html
It says they're genuine, UK spec and a direct replacement but that price seems to be fairly good for genuine R32 lights  :sad1:

Cheers in advance,
Ben

The part number listed doesn't look like a VAG one, they may be Hella?  I have seen a few recently at that price made by Hella, which are OE quality, slight modifying required to fit iirc though.  :popcornsoda:

It says they are genuine and they look it to me, if you have a TPS near you it might be worth getting a comparative price! :happy2:

Yeah I thought they looked pretty good for a non official item but like vRS_Pagey said they're probably made by Hella and I don't want to modify the light tbh

Was looking at these myself a while back as it's a cracking price BUT..... think it was junglefacedjake who bought a set of these and they aren't genuine ones, believe they are Hella aftermarket ones and he had a pig getting them to fit properly and needed some modification/cutting to make them sit right on the car

Cheers Dave for the heads up on these  :happy2: I was tempted to buy them as well, glad I didnt  :smiley:

I did look at the ones on the Awesome website as i'm sure they're genuine ones but I'm not even sure how much the lights are from the stealers, I know they're not cheap though :sad:

The ones awesome GTI sells are the genuine ones but at full dealer prices so not cheap about £220 i think the last time i looked, was very lucky a few weeks back to get hold of a genuine set off of a friend of a friend breaking his R32 for silly money  :party:

Keep an eye out as they do come up on here every so often for around the £160ish mark  :happy2:

Oh right, you were very lucky then  :smiley:
Awesome GTI's price at the minute is £227, I take it thats around the same price as the dealers.
I will keep my eye out in the For Sale section but I know if they do come up they'll be snapped up pretty quick  :sad1:

Thanks again,
Ben

I thought I would send an email to the company asking if these were genuine VW and the reply I got was this,

"Hello,
 
Many thanks for your email.
 
This is just to confirm that this is a genuine VW product.
 
Please do let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
 
Best Regards

So i'm not sure what to do  :popcornsoda:

If they have a favourable returns policy its worth a punt IMO.

Are the OEM lights not made by Hello or are they Valeo?
