    Just got confirmation that they have been sent and will be arriving before the end of the month. He didn't send any pics, but told me they were "very unique". It sounds kinda like he's sending me a 1 off pair in black. I guess we'll all know in the next week or so

    Just got a FB mssg with PICS!!







    I have to say, there not bad. I think if there's a way to tint the chrome part on the bottom, they're damn near perfect. I'll have to take a closer look once I get them in my hands, but so far I like what I see. If I can't crack them open, I can always spray/clear the bottom of the lens. Can't wait to see these thinks in person..

    I'll keep that in mind. Once I get them, I'll talk to the manufacturer about a group buy. From what they are saying, we might be able to get these to come to the states..


    Edit:
    From the pics it looks like they come with new rubber trim

    Well, got my new tails today. The box was hammered, but the lights are intact. They share some similarities with others that I've seen, but are not overly cheesy. The only thing I want to change is the reflective lower portion. Not sure if I'll use paint or film. I could probably take them apart completely and pain the inside, but id rather not. They are pretty cool. One thing that I've noticed so far, is that you can't see the individual red LEDs (which I think makes them look cleaner). They have an orange reverse/fog. I'm interested to see how that works out

    Now for PICS!!









    The weather strip on these is pretty nice. I'll get some pics of the back, and some night shots.

    Probably just me, but thinking they look good enough to put on the TT and thinking they look ok so as not to call them $hit, are two completely different things. For me, they're ok but not TT worthy.

    But good luck just the same. It's always good with TT group buys work out. Win-Win for the seller and TT owner.

    cheers.
    I think this is the first time I've ever agreed with you on something haha.

    Not a fan of them personally. OEM or bust in this case.

    Or OEM All-reds.

    After seeing Warranty's pic above, I have to agree with him that they are not as cheesy nor cheap looking as others.

    With his black TT, they may work especially given the tweaks he intends and they will be consistent with some of his other mods to lessen the original "4-rings/dimpled" style that many of us prefer. Also, they will enhance the more modern look that he's been moving towards over the years.

    For me, they are still not TT worthy and they are not $hit either. Mostly though, I'm not the one spending the money so my opinion is just that, my opinion. But then again, IMO the entire MK2 line is not TT worthy (with the exception of the RS's engine).

    cheers.

    These do not suck. I really thought it was gonna be a cheap ebay looking lamp. Really surprised at the quality from the pix. That said the final test is the lighting pattern. Can't wait for you to get these in. I trust we'll have an update tonight?

    Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised. Turns out the right one took a beating during shipment (the box looks like it was kicked all the way from Taiwan). Once I get the replacement I'll tint the chrome section. I have to say, I REALLY like the amount of light that you get from the LEDs at night.
