    OEM LED Tail Lights - Need Fog and Reverse Swap?

    Hi All,

    I've read in a few places that the US cars need VAG COM update for them to use the OEM LED Tail Lights. Australia don't need VAG COM update, just need to physically swap the fog and reverse lights...

    Is there a VAG COM update to change the fog and reverse lights without a physical modification?

    Cheers.

    No - you have to physically swap the lenses.

        Do a search here and if you don't find it at GolfMkV.com - Volkswagen Golf, GTI, and Rabbit Forums for the how-to. It's been documented previously.

          Bring them over when you get them and I can show you if you like. It's not that difficult.

              Sorry - I'm a little confused.. Are you replacing your current LEDs with an LED set from Europe?

                  Herp derp, I'm sorry! I assumed you owned a Jetta.

                  I guess that's what happens when you spend too much time on jettamkv.com
