I take it they only have these for the American market being that they have amber marker lights ? If they made the white bits red and use them as tail lights then i would definetly be interested .I myself have been trying to figure out PIC microcontrollers to make the streaming indicators (struggling) , becuase I think they are awsome :D .

Actually, USDM TTs don't have amber in the rear lights at all.

Euro market I thought required amber turn signals? In the US, rear turns can be red (it's stupid and unsafe, but on the mk2 TT it looks better :D)

I can't figure out if the"bars" in the light are supposed to be red or amber?

If the bars light up red as marker lights, and the center LED sections are used as brake lights, that could be interesting. $600 is cheaper than OEM lights too.

I agree, the White looks like cheap plastic that you would see on lights from Halfrauds.

Certainly not worth circa £400!

? I thought they where amber ? And the turn signals are underneath. They certainly don't look red to me lol and as you can see them from the side of the car that's what made me think of the states ? , so do you think they are trying to replicate the mk3 rear side lights if so massive fail with the colour
:lol:

Pretty confident the styling is taken from the mk3 although not very well :roll:

These may be the new Spyder ones shown at the SEMA show last year in November.

http://fourtitude.com/news/aftermarket_ ... om-spyder/

The article says they don't know when they will be released. When I went to SEMA 2013 I saw a set of Mk6 GTI tail lights that were at the Spyder booth but they didn't sell online yet. I kept searching for those lights, a few months after SEMA they started showing up on alibaba and aliexpress, then a few more months they started being sold at major online retailers. If the pattern is the same for these new tails we should be seeing these fully in the market within the year.

You guys are mentioning how it looks terrible with the white diffuser (and I agree!), but that is with the smoked/silver housing. With the red housing it will look much more normal when the lights are not illuminated.

Seems to me as if you've convinced yourself that you like me enough to buy as set.

we got a set of similar ones for the GF's A1

These are only partial LED, as are the Audi A1 LED version, but also have the electronics within, so plug & play without needing coding, as the Audi version would need for retrofitting.

Note the A1 has reflectors on the rear diffuser, where as the TT has them with the light cluster, so the smoked version may cause a legal issue.
