Re: Any modified Polo's???
Did you buy only the reverse lights or did you buy also the turn signal?
I was counting when I bought the car that All lights were on led and I was looking for led bulbs to replace the bulbs of the reverse and rear turn signals [emoji28]

Just for curiosity, the interior lights don't blink while fading? I had that problem in my previous car.

I had zero problems until now with the interior leds, whenever a change causes me problems i don't change anything.

Re: Any modified Polo's???
Not that I've looked, but I thought that only the reversing lights in the rear cluster for the GTI+ were ye olde halogens. Is that not the case?
Or perhaps there are different rear cluster variants for different markets/trim levels?

Re: Any modified Polo's???
In my case the reverse light and rear turn signal were normal lamps.monkeyhanger wrote: Wed May 06, 2020 11:35 am Not that I've looked, but I thought that only the reversing lights in the rear cluster for the GTI+ were ye olde halogens. Is that not the case?

Re: Any modified Polo's???
I'll have to take a closer look at mine to determine if there are different variants with more or less incandescent bulbs, but the UK brochure does suggest that different trims get different rear clusters.J+silva wrote: Wed May 06, 2020 1:36 pmIn my case the reverse light and rear turn signal were normal lamps.monkeyhanger wrote: Wed May 06, 2020 11:35 am Not that I've looked, but I thought that only the reversing lights in the rear cluster for the GTI+ were ye olde halogens.

For all trims except R-line and GTI/GTI+, there is no mention of rear clusters.
For R-line, we have mention of LED tinted rear light clusters
For GTI/GTI+ we have mention of LED darkened rear light clusters.
That does suggest to me that only R-line and GTI/GTI+ get LED rear light clusters, in the UK at least.

Re: Any modified Polo's???
I can´t tell for sure but the GTI rear cluster seems the same that the regular Polo with the optional LED package. I noticed that lot of brands only put LED on the red part of the rear cluster on this car segment.
PS: I know that at the front they are different, the GTI got a red stripe.

Re: Any modified Polo's???
On my GTI the reversing light and rear turn signal are normal lamps.
I remember seeing in the GTI presentation they mention that.
