Does anyone know or seen of a 07 tail light swap on a mkIV GLI?

Yea sorry bro, that's not really a conversion... That would be lotsss of work.

However if your dead set on it, look into the city jetta. The rear tails are somewhat similar to a mk5, at least the top portion of them. The bottom portion of the tails you could shape and cut them to be more mk5, and then custom the quarters and trunk to fill in the space of the tails you shape/cut. Hope that made sense lol.

Either way it would be a **** ton of work and not worth it in my opinion. But good luck :thumbup::beer:

What you probably saw was the back end of a City Bora (sold outside the U.S.) also known as the MK4.5. They had a Taillight setup that looks damn good. To do so would be expensive though as you would need not only the lights, but the trunk, and assuming you don't have years of body work experience the rear bumper as well.

Classico's are so freaking ugly... Im sorry. Being in el Paso I've seen one almost everyday. They should of updated the doors too, or just never made them. I've even seen gti with front end classico swap... Thought I liked the idea, Makes me puke in real life. To each its own though. My car looks like crap.:)
