There's plenty of demand so I'm sure something will come up soon. If not, Pauly could probably make some!
I have sets of xenon white lamps for the front end but i took them down from the shop as the supplier could only get me 3 pairs of DRLs to match so i only have one complete kit but plenty of head/fog/side light bulbs
Looking like i will have to go LED DRLs with the rest xenon white in the kit but its a minefield with LED lamps as there is so much cheap crap around, im only prepared to list things that i know are good and i have tried and tested.
@surf-report had one of the complete kits off me to try out and seemed to get on with them

What are the fog light bulbs? I need some yellow 3k halogens as white lights are useless in the fog. Plus jdm yO!
That's their new attempt at a cheat device.
The lights supplied look 100% better and the short length visibility is greatly improved. After a few weeks of using them now I don't think they have made a lot of difference to the reach of the beam. (if that makes sense)
Well, 2000 miles done in my new 204 dsg, lovely van, but fuel economy is dire 
Getting around 350 miles to a tank.
Trip 2 is indicating 27 mpg so probably worse in reality.
My old 140 was remapped to 180 by Pendle and I consistently got 34 mpg. The previous 130 again remapped to 170 returned a steady 32 mpg, both were manual transmission.
Even taking into account the DSG I was expecting similar or better fuel economy from the latest van,
Dissapointing really as the rest of the van is a big improvement.

Oucha that's a tad thirsty. Perhaps more miles will help or a remap?
I think you make a fair point....it's a big old lump being propelled along by an engine with an output that wouldn't have shamed a sierra cosworth back in the day?
I just got 28mpg again in my 150 manual.
Shocking.
That's 28 3 times on the trot, then 30 and now back to 28.
Now that isn't good. Do you drive it hard.....is it hilly where you live.....are they stop start journey's? I'm getting an average of 37mpg (42mpg according to the fantasy trip comp!?). I deliberately try to hyper mile mine though.
I do the same journey as I have always done around Nottingham and Leicester for the last 5 years. I got 33 to 35 in the t5.1..... same load, driving, tyres etc but Euro 6 and Epic fail.
Mines a 204, and with the stop start turned off (1st thing i do) as soon as you hit any kind of slow moving traffic the mpg takes a hammering, but while on the Motorway, it seems pretty good and even better on the A roads. I got 34mpg last tank, and this one was set to be better until i spent a lot of time in traffic, could be filling it up later this week so we'll see. If i can average 35mpg when it's run in i'll be happy, as that was expectation prior to ordering the van.
I'm sure i could get this to low 20's though if i unleashed all the 200 horses more often!

Mine frequently idles at 1000rpm. VW technician told me this was part of the regeneration process. I've often seen 41mpg (actually up to 46) on MFD......but never in reality. 35 to 37mpg seems to be where I'm at.....I am an economical driver though. I suspect 30mpg would be easily "achieved"......anyway, I still love it and don't regret buying it......but reading some of the posts, I'm beginning to think a problem of some sort is just around the corner. FWIW I've done 2300 miles so I would imagine it's still a little tight? Just one thing though........I work my consumption on trip 2. Save me looking in the handbook, what's the difference between 1 and 2? 1 seems to reset more frequently.
Mfd 1 is your current trip and resets after 2 hours of none driving.
2 is overall mpg and won't reset unless you hold OK down.
Ignore both and work out your own by filling up a full tank and reset the mileage inbetween.
Piss poor mpg. Very disappointed. Great van. I'll have to live with it.
