LED Numberplate Lights

[tigger73]

When i bought my car i tried to bargain $200 further down, and i also asked if they can install the LEDs for me instead of $200 lower, they said NO.
despite the cost of LEDs, labor and coding will cost $$$ - as we all know

You can buy LEDs aftermarket for $50 or less and DIY in less than 5 minutes. If they are decent LEDs they won't throw a fault and there is no coding required.

If it's not a standard option and is not going to be a deal breaker they'll try and leave it out as it's more running around for them. If you'd said the dealer down the road was going to include them then you'd likely get a different story.

I agree on this one.
I picked mine up on ebay for about $10 for the 2 licence plate lights.
2 minutes max installation, no coding and no errors and they have been flawless.

Team V, do you have the link to the ones you purchased? So many of these sellers claim there won't be codes but some people still get them.

Non genuine led plate lights are super bright but! Had a set in my MK6 and could see my plate from miles away

Haha, with the good comes the bad

My dealer is replacing this week...however, they said "I was lucky" as VWA didnt want to come to the game but they argued for me to have them fitted. Not sure if they are blowing smoke up my arse? as I have not seen official statement from VWA re: this issue.

All installed and apparently they are not doing anymore of these retro fittings....according to dealer.

Just received the same story from my dealer. I asked him when I can come in to get it done, he said next week. He then let me know that vwa wouldn't agree to provide it as the led tail light is no longer standard with xenons. So the dealer has to cop the cost.

Just received email from my dealer because I was abit concerned about this issue. The spec sheet shows that the LED registration plate light seems to be standard on the GTI performance pack. He sent me the spec sheet for it which is not released on the website yet. (give me a PM for those whose interested in seeing it)

Well, if the dealers want to replace your Golf with Xenons/No LED with a Golf GTI PP with LED, then lucky you!

Good luck with that... You don't have them until the car gets here...

That's all good until vwa say there was a mistake on the dealers spec sheet..

I think someone confirmed on the gti discussion thread that the PP is indeed LED registration plate light.

Yeah but I had a printed brochure which was given to dealers by VWA marketing department, sat in there dealerships for months

And then they worked out they stuffed up, so screw the new car purchaser.

hahaha yeah indeed, they also said to me that there was a misprint and that normal GTIs won't get it anymore unless they can show the brochure that was used as a reference at the time of purchase. Scary...

That's correct, normal GTI's don't come with the led number plate lights. It's when you option the xenons they are included in that package.
