winrya Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi, I've been pondering over putting these lights on my gti for the past year and finally made the order the other day. I will receive them tomorrow but i'm having second thoughts. I cant find the pics which persuaded me this was a must some time ago. The car is black and I'm sure they will look far better than the bright red ones on currently. So please help guys, if you have any pics, please post. Many thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winrya Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 They do look good, lets just hope its a quick job to swap over. How do you get access to the bulbs??? I've found a guide to swapping the lights but makes no mention of the bulbs??? Keep the pics coming guys Many thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Care if you buy from an overseas supplier - Fog light / reverse light is placed on the opposite side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanH Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 How did that get there? Thanks petsy - the cheque's in the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 [ QUOTE ] I like that rear valence [/ QUOTE ] ....I think it's by Caractere. Personally I think it's horrible - Too shiny and too high a black section. Sorry, but it's only my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I like it - better than the standard bumper / valance. Reminds me very much of the R32 style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I guess it's one of those things that could look very different 'in the flesh', but generally I do like the concept of a black centre to a painted valance. Mind you, if I actually had a GTI to moan about right now I'd be pretty damn pleased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMB Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 i have them on my black GTI, IMHO they are a huge improvement, the stark red of the basic lights clashes with the black paintwork. Just nicely understated now. Don't have any pics though at the mo, will try to get some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
