Re: LED tailgate Lights

Hehe
That's the question I'm trying to find out
Most of companies don't give enkugh info on their ads, but assuming from the fact that even tail lights are sold rhd and lhd, that main difference has a place, so purchased tail must be precisely rhd

Rattle noise seems I'm not the only one lol #:-s
Mine comes from compartment box to the right from Steering Wheel, and from under the steering column as well.

It seem like each car made on different line - different rattle issue

It isn't surprising that this is how much it costs with VW garage, still a lot.
Why not doing it in VW specializing garage?

Re: LED tailgate Lights

I would consider buying cheapest set of led tail lights and wire it myself, just copy on the connector plug way that our original lights are connected.

Re: Budget £8k, Help to buy Passat

Mine was bought 2nd hand, I spoke with VW and they said up to 80k on non wearable parts etc. Nothing impressive, my auto start/stop stopped working and it displays start/stop error. Called them and they mentioned nothing about warranty, just told me HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED!!!! :-o

Re: LED tailgate Lights

These headlights on eBay are halogen, hid projectors are usually bigger too, however if you fit hid bulb in halogen projector, light output is rubbish!

I like them tail lights tho, the ones I have my eyes on are smoked as well
