Retro fit LED headlights

Hi guys

Apologies for being a newb, I wondered if there is a way of retro fitting the LED headlights from a GTI+ to a GTI or if the aftermarket ones were any good? If we buy one it will get used on dark country roads a lot and my wife prefers the vision of the headlights on my Golf R which has ...

Tuesday

My girlfriends car is booked in next Tuesday to have the squeak sorted.

Apparently they may even change the wishbones aswell.

VW UK told me "They should be fitted with modified front stub axle bushes".

I'll get under the car before it goes in and mark some bits to see what gets changed

VW UK

I spoke to VW UK today and they informed me that ALL service managers have been issued with a memo regarding the new bushes.

I was fobbed off at first by the girl on reception but if you speak to the service manager you will get an answer.

This is what VW UK told me.

"They will fit modified ...
