What you guys think of these tail lights??

[JJ-R32]

These are from Hella and were introduced at the Essem Motorshow last year. Everyone like/dislike?

[MKThree]

These are sweet lights. Know where to buy these?

[YenPxxx]

Those are a little too Japanese "ricey" (sorry didn't knwo what other word to use) for my taste. Is the outline of it silver or is that just the reflection of the lights shining on the car? If it's not that silver/bright then it'd look better IMO. I do like the idea of LED taillights tho :w00t: :w00t:

[drunkenmaster]

Wooo I want those. These lights are not only better looking but function better too.

:wub: :wub:

Hey somebody zoom that picture out a little!

I have been told that the rear indicators (do you chaps call them repeaters?) aren't that obvious especially whilst braking. Perhaps these little gems would solve that, a more purposeful indicator lens?

Prefer these to the smoked lens, if i was looking aftermarket.

LED's would definitely light up brighter and quicker than the regular stock rear lights. I couldn't find these on Hella's website though.

How about these?

Heh you've never had the pleasure of following a car with LED tail lights in the dark eh ;) Here's a pic of them lit up. :eyebulge:

This car looks like it has the Hella LED rear lights installed.

[JJ-R32]

Here's a whole bunch more

[MAlby7]

They're alright but something about them doesn't seem right. I think it's because they have sharp edged shapes in them and the entire car is rounded. Too much of a clash!

[loft]

LEDs are super cool, but those look like eurotrash. Hell no.

[JJ-R32]

Some more options... I've never seen so many tail light options for a car :bellyroll:

[JJ-R32]

Another of the Hella LED taillights

[JJ-R32]

And more Hella LED lights.. gorgeous!

[Brandon]

Strangley enough I think I'll stick with the stock lights. Maybe go smoked, but the leds are little too Ricey for me.

[JJ-R32]

Silver ones.. not my taste.. but to each his own. :thumbsup:

[Dubdr]

I like all of them, if I had to choose... I really like the smoked look. I think they would look great on the black or grey.

[Brandon]

Oooo...that red GTI is hot! The kit, the wheels...and I don't usually like lights like that, but they seem to work with the car.

[GTI2007]

This are the original tail lights but with lightcovers from Kamei

I agree. If I had to buy a set, it would have to be the smoked ones.

[Sauceboy01]

Honestly, i dont like any of the lights.. They all feel a little Fast and Furious to me..

[GTI2007]

I would keep the original tail lights and buy the lightcovers from Kamei. To my opinion they look nicer especially on a black gti

agreed.1

[Herby]

The TMTUNING ones look pretty good, but the others look like they're diamond studded or something...not appealing to me, but hey, we all got diferent tastes:wink:

[GoghVW]

I just want LED stock tail lights like my Passat. Amber turn signals would be preferred as well.

[Sauceboy01]

yea, LED tails would look nice.. i'm sure something is in the works for them.

[GTI2007]

you have different kind of LED tail lights but to my opinion none of them is as beautiful as the original tail lights of the GTI or as the smoked tail lights of the R32

Agreed! :headbang:

[GTI2007]

pretty good looking LED taillights are these

http://www.dietrich-tuning.de/grafiken/autos/golf5/DLVWR31L.jpg

But I still prefer the original taillights of the GTI and the smoked ones of the R32

[Mainy]

TBH I think all the led options look :thumbdown:

I've changed my OEM tails for the OEM smoked R32 ones, very subtle but very :cool: IMHO :thumbsup:

[YenPxxx]

Wow that Kamei cover on this black GTI looks awesome! I'll also take those wheels, rear bumpre and quad exhausts :wub: :wub:

[GTI2007]

those wheels are from FK itself. They are named Edition 3 and they are 19 x 8,5. The Bumper I think is from Rieger but I'm not sure

[Kurupt]

those black covers look great!

[JJ-R32]

Comparison pic of the R32 lights next to GTI lights

[Kurupt]

the r32 lights look way better on that black paint then the bright red lights do

[GTI2007]

they indeed do. I'm gonna put them also on my black magic pearl effect GTI

[JJ-R32]

Some more Hella LED pics

[dunski]

No thanks, I'll take mine stock, maybe smoked.

[//caliber\\]

Are the Kamei light covers technically road legal? Is some jerk cop gonna give me trouble over something like that you think? Thx.

[BLACKMAGICGTI'06]

those hella led lights are not available yet i want so bad!!! anyone know where i can get em???

[TeknoGroover]

If I had these in my town, the cop would pull me over for a "borken tailight".

Since we're on the subject about LED tailights, I now have LED tailights. They are OEM tailights, but LED! So, it's LED Bulbs. I've always loved LED Bulbs because they are so pecise. They blink on and off, not dim on, dim off. Here is a short clip showing it. This is with the hazards on. Can you see the distinctiveness?

Nice, instant on/off :thumbsup: Do they look any different in daylight?

[TeknoGroover]

A bit more dim in daylight, but still nice. I'll take some pix of them at day and post.

[Hokietuner]

Not feeling the LED's, I like the stock tail lights

[mllr]

Some are just WAY too rice.
