Re: GTI Tail Lights

my honest opinion... i hate the euro lights with all the clear chrome look with red lights. honestly the R32 lights look much much better and also TMTuning.com has some sick taillight covers.

I seem to be typing a lot this morning. Me and my big fingers! Be careful in what you buy. I ordered a set of lights. Thinking I was going to get two clear back-up lights. What I got were a set of R32 lights one side is clear the other is for the rear fog light. (And Red) I am not going to go throught the hassle to rewire & reprogram my system. I'm just going to have one red lense and one clear. My state has a yearly inspection (PA). If they give me any hassle I'll just chance the one stock light back in for the inspection. As far as difficult. Inner lights no problem, remove cover on hatch, turn out bulb and socket, you have to manuver the wrench to turn nuts. The outer lights, I found taking the trim from around the hatch opening the easiest to get to the side panels. It just pulls (Push/LIfts) off, I didn't remove the adjusters from the stock lights, I just left them in, seemed to work out alright. You might have to shim new light if they don't fit flush. I didn't. By the way I have a Candy White with blacked out lights. I think it looks fine, and I guess that all that counts.

Yeah that looks awesome man, the prob is here in MA, in my old cars I got hell from cops about tinted tails (no tickets just them riding me).....so I either need tints with cutouts around the actual lights or something like that Altezza ones....sucks but I don't want anymore crap about them.

I got away with these after I peeled of the soild black like you have.....I'm on the road ALL the time and always pass the same set of cops, sorta sucks

so i get my new Blackout taillights from TMTuning after waiting like 3 weeks. i skip 1st period to pick them up from my post office, brought them to school. then during 7th period Autos class, i open the box, and the whole class is watching. They Sent Me The Wrong Ones. The Chrome Ones. everyone was like Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn. it was the worst moment of my life.
so now i have to send them back, and my blackout ones probably wont be here for like another month. :mad: but its cool, i just bought a NewSouth boost gauge thats gettin put in tuesday, so that should hold me over til i get the lights.
