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]

I think is time for me to do the same.
Just for curiosity, the interior lights don't blink while fading? I had that problem in my previous car.

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?

In my case the reverse light and rear turn signal were normal lamps.

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.

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.

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.

On my GTI the reversing light and rear turn signal are normal lamps.
I remember seeing in the GTI presentation they mention that.
