      No. It was correct. I was talking about these.

      I have led brake lights. None i found where error free so I got load resisters like theses.

      Philips have some new led brake and reverse lights just released but yet to hear feedback. There $90 a pair so a bit hesitant to get untill iv heard if there ok and error free.

          First one is for brake



          These ones are amber.



          The details are all over the show. The silly thing is that they say they are for interior use only but further down say for brake or fog.

          The amber ones come with load resisters. States it's a P21w fitting but then mentions festoon in the details.

          I have seen white ones but can't find the link.

          Be good to see some closer pictures if you get some please.

                    • I'm seeing a lot of low Polos here. Has anybody removed their front air dam due to scraping? I'm after one...



                      Cheers

                      • Looks good I've just plastidipped mine and was thinking red inserts

                        • dont think any of us here have removed it.
                          most of the fellas ive seen here are running about as low as i am and i have never found it that much of a problem besides the occasional scrap.

                          id rather scrape that than my bumper, thats for dam sure

                            Would be to much red I think. I would go for painting the inner edges of the badge red like this golf front badge.

                              Here's (the remains) of the one (that was) fitted to my sister's car. As you can see, all the clips are worn and the entire part is twisted because of it scraping on our driveway and on entrances to shops etc.
                              I tried to refit it but it was soon ripped off again by our bloody driveway!

                                Isn't it possible to angle it in? I go in on an angle everywhere. Barely scrape, and I'm lowered on coilovers.
