LED Rear Lights?

Post by VWking »

Does anyone know where I can get some good LED rear lights? I have already tried replacing the original bulbs with some LED one's but they just weren't bright enough :S I don't really want to replace the original light unit but just the bulbs? Maybe there is a LED board for the MK4 polo, because there is one for the MK5!

Thanks in advance :)

Thanks, I don't think I want to use the MK5 rears because I just don't want to drill the extra hole :S lol, but I was wondering if I just replaced the existing rear fillament bulbs with some xenon led's do you think they would be brighter than the fillament ones? :)

you dont need to drill any extra holes for the mk5 lights!?

if you are a perfectionist, then there is a small bit of sanding you could do to make completely flush, bar tht theres nout you drill.

as for the boards its a mateer of some work, but great outcome, worth it i thinks.

My guide makes the hole bigger in order to fit the central lug through, but you could cut the lug down to size I suppose.

The Hella LED rear lights are very good, and I'm not sure a LED bulb unit would be brighter than the normal filament bulb.....
