LED Reverse Light YES or NO

[unerdanielson]

Just wanted people's opinions/experience with LED reverse lights. Are they a viable upgrade or do they make no real difference other than visual aesthetics?

Yes, there is a big improvement but it might vary depending on the year and model.

Oh yes mate a very nice little touch - sorry I don't have a link as I bought it years ago for a VXR however if you just get an error free one should be fine seeing as mine works.

YES! Had a Cree one fitted to FR and R, made hell of a difference. Lasted well too, currently fitted in latest Cupra.

Will something like this do the job? http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/131598787280

Not sure how good they would be, as most of the LED's are on the side, and the issue appears to be the crap reflector. The Cree one projects all its light through a lens at the end.
Whereabouts are you?

I got mine from here: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,92296.msg927551.html#msg927551

Works perfectly, no errors and super-bright

I know personally I will be putting in a CREE led in there that way all light is firing out and not trying to use the rubbish reflector in the tailgate.

 

[Dan FR]

But if it fires straight out the back, it won't do much for lighting up the road behind? I'll upload a picture of mine now, it does the job perfectly

Has anyone got a photo of a Cree LED fitted just to compare

I see his post is from a year ago. Did you get yours recently?

 

[Dan FR]

Yeah in the last month or two. If you look at the last reply he replied a week ago saying he had some left.

Sadly I can't buy from that forum as I'm not a member. Have you got any direct contact details for Varley that you could PM me or if I sent you the money any chance you could get them for me?

Cheers

I'll have a look see if I've got any pics of it in the mk2. If not it'll have to be in a mk3.
