LED Tails...

Was playing on OEMpl.US, and I noticed that there appears to be an adapter for the LED taillights now. Just curious if anyone has pulled the trigger on them? Sorry in advance if this is a repost.<ul><li><a href="http://oempl.us/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=60_68_1 39&products_id=924">http://oempl.us/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=60_68_1 39&products_id=924</a</li></ul>

adapter alone won't be enough, you also need a new control unit....

...AFAIK...since the 'old' one doesn't support the LED's. That's an extra +- 200 euro's.
And you need the correct recoding with VAG.COM after that.

Thanks for the additional info...getting to be too pricey for just taillights. IMO

Though they do look awesome.

IIRC, I don't believe the coding issue has been resolved yet

LOL! It's true. Most Hyundais even have them. 2010 A/S5 will have LED tails.
