Genuine OEM. I don't do aftermarket much. They come with adaptors for cars like ours as the stock electrical harnesses do not fit the LED tails. The harnesses are sturdy and felt well made.
The lights are essentially plug and play once the harnesses are used.
VCDS is to be used not to enable them but to remove false bulb out errors. I am still looking for the right VCDS code for byte 18 in the CECM. I've seen golf 6 owners use "15" as their solution but that info has been from 2010.
Coded byte 18 in CECM to "AA" via VCDS long coder. Lights work differently now but I have no bulb out errors. Seems like the car didn't like the brake lights not being on when park lights or headlights were engaged when byte 18 was set to "8C"

Any Jettas in Australia with LED tails from factory? If so a video of how they work would be appreciated. VCDS scans too would be appreciated.
Hi Rawcpoppa !!
I put some VW OEM LED tail lights in last nite and got them coded with no warning lights on the dash !! and they work how they should.. but the only thing you lose is your rear fog light .. Try changing the "8C" to>> "53" !!! if that doesnt work let me know and ill copy my long code for you .

Thanks for the info. I have tried this 53 before but this was the result:
"53/50
PARK LIGHTS GOOD
REARS DO NOT WORK AT ALL"
I have yet to continue on from the value AA I am using. I think alot of the results have to do with how the lights are wired depending on who made the wire harnesses. 53 seems to work for many american Jettas but I don't think they have rear fogs in many instances although I might be wrong. Here are some of my quick notes for values that gave a pseudo positive response when I tried them in byte 18:
"Original long coding 08000A3F882DE1C0C0080080040081E447200088508089605C 8020000040
5d - check rear side light error
drl stay on
park lights dim
no rear fogs
5F
DRL STAY ON
PARK LIGHT DIM
REAR FOG WORKS
53/50
PARK LIGHTS GOOD
REARS DO NOT WORK AT ALL
90
PARK LIGHTS DIM
OUTER TAILS LIGHT UP
04
REVERSE LIGHT ON IN PARK
PARK LIGHTS ON WHEN SWITCH OFF
DRLS NOT WORKING
59
DRL STAY ON
DIM PARKERS
A7
NO ERRORS
REAR FOG DIDN'T WORK. NAR MAYBE.
AA WORKS.
NO ERRORS. PARK LIGHTS USE OUTER BRAKE Lights TOO."

I've never used full long coding before. I'll have a look thru my code and yours and see what the differences are before I start changing things up. What model and year Jetta do you own again? Also where did you get your lights and wire harness from?
I have a 2012 118tsi manual. I got the tail light from VW dealer in Adelaide, they have a great parts department at Solitaire !! So the tail lights are Genuine VW.. But i got the adapter cables for the connectors from car systems.
Do you have this installed in your Jetta? If yes do you get any errors? If no errors did you use adaptors with built in resistors or did you code it out?
