Turbo LED Taillight upgrade

I've been pondering doing the new LED taillight upgrade to my '07 turbo, but instead of modifying and applying Bondo to the factory bumper, I figured I would be better served to by a MY10 bumper and taillights to be safe. Does anyone know if these are available yet or have suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

Can't answer your question, however, can give you a hint. The control units require some reprograming by PIWIS, and may have found it difficult to activate correctly...you can avoid all that by going to TechArt, who have created pre-modified tail lights that are plug and play. You still need to modify the bumper, though.

The other downside - cost. Pretty pricey. However, it does save many many headaches.

The MY10 led taillights are alot better than the 07 ones so if you can do it for a good price I say you should do it

you will depreciate your car as this was the last year with the regular lights. All these led's are making cars look like Xmas trees.Take a look at the Audi.

Contact Ric at SunCoast. 877-923-1700 he can get you all the parts for the conversion. I'm doing the same and also upgrading the streering wheel to a 2010. Why not go for the updated look.

MY10's are not going to be plentiful. Ordering a MY10 Turbo is pretty much ka-put!

Hussain, Vorsteiner & Vince from Iforged both did this conversion on their personal cars.
PM Vorsteiner and when he gets back from the Dubai show I am sure he'll fill you in.
