Do you have a standard or GTi mate?

I can post a pic of my GTi rear if you have standard to compare?

My sister has a standard but she is out atm or I could take a pic of them side by side :x

as far as i know the GTI rear lights are the same as any other polo's rear lights.
for that reason i got the hella OEM black lights to give it a finishing touch :wink:

if they are darker, it's not by much because i never noticed my stock ones were darker :?:

I always thought that the GTi rear lights were the same as the standard Polo lights?

They've always looked identical to me.

They are the same taillights on gti and standard polos.

But there are two other versions of taillights available in the accessory catalog. I've attached an image with them , and you have the oem part number under each one - and those can be ordered I think from any VW dealer.

the 2 versions above, the white and black ones are from Hella.
i have the dark version on my white GTI, looks nice imo.
