Can be a bit tricky wiring up the LED ones but there are loads of tutorials out there.

Fitted my tail lights last night, just a few quick pic's.
they are rhd lights but there for the mk5, still got a bargin. Was a pain to wire up though, ahhh. Took 2& 1/2 hours, the longest bit was sorting out which wire was which.
Well pleased with the result tho. £ well spent id say.

the hella's look awesome - cuz i got them!
just had my MOT done with them on and passed with flying colours

(had to put the reflector pads on tho!)
only thing i would say about them is make sure some idiot infront of you doesnt throw something out the window when ur driving along in a national, as it hit my car, and my rear lights and smashed a hole in them

had to tape it up

now it looks dumb
ps. if you eva chance ur mind and want some standard red rear lights, i've got some i might be able to help you out with... xx

all this fuss about LHD RHD, it doesn't matter - LHD ones you shove a red foglight bulb in the RH light, RHD ones you don't. Both pass the MOT no problems at all. The only problem is you end up with a red reverse light on the LHD ones! Nothing illegal about that at all.
both LHD and RHD need the external reflectors to pass an MOT, but most testers don't bother
lights look good

my local mot joint passed me with a wiper parked in the middle of the screen
