Mk6 LED Taillights

[Escell]

Are you guys aware of anyone who can source and install the LED tail lights on a Mk6 GTI? The last thing I want to do is stuff the car up with my average knowledge and I don't have the ability to recode. I've been in touch with Dean @ Volkspower, waiting on a reply.

A company like Volkspower is probably your best bet to have them fitted if you don't have the skills/confidence/tools to do it yourself, so that's a good start.

does anyone know of a company in perth that does this?

Escell, let me know what Volkspower have to say. I'll be installing mine myself but will need to find someone to do the VAGCOM work. Was going to get it done when I get around to booking my car in for it's ECU remap with them.

They are easy to fit, I can show / help you. You will need to get Vagcom done after fitting. I can tell you where to get that done too. PM me your details.

My LEDs arrived yesterday! Thought I'd post a few pics because they look fantastic - especially on Tornado Red!









I'm having the coding done to remove the check bulbs warning fairly soon - hopefully this weekend. Unfortunately I can't drive my car at the moment (my new numberplate bracket also arrived yesterday, and I removed the stock adapter only to find the hole size smaller than expected - so no new bracket and no numberplate) - so no showing off the tails just yet.

A big thanks to Ozram for all his help sourcing the tails, doing the coding legwork, and posting a great DIY!

Adam, these look awesome mate!
I am soooo jealous....you must be rapt with the look, excellent photos

Just a question, did you fit them yourself via Ozrams instructions & is there a bit of a gap on yours like Ozram?(I think)
mentioned? Can you share the $ damage with us too. I do have the details also from Ozram on how to get them but having
no luck convincing the other half that we "really need them" LOL
After seeing yours.....want want want!

Looking really good Adam! These are the first decent photos I've seen with them fitted to a red car (like mine). I assume you secured these via Ozram's contact? If so, how long did they take to arrive? I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago and no sign of them yet.

Cheers

Tell her it is for safety reasons - they light up faster and will help avoid someone crashing you/her.

Yep, I fitted them myself following Ozram's DIY. I'm not a handy person, but had no trouble doing this - it's really quite straight forward, as long as you have the 8mm socket extension tube for the inner tails. There's no major gap on mine - the fit is not identical to the standard lights, but the alignment is spot-on with the body. The only issue is that there's a slightly larger gap (couple of mm extra maybe) between the top of the outside right tail, and the tailgate. But really, I'm being super-fussy - the fit is fine. These are VW parts after all, designed for a body and tailgate that's identical to our cars. So as long as the bolts are tightened properly, I would think that large gaps are unlikely.

The cost was 519 Euros including shipping and insurance. Personally, for the look, unique factor and added safety (I do believe they're far more visible), I think it was money well spent! Do it - you know you want to.

Thanks very much Sol!

Yes, I ordered through Ozram's German dealer contact; I placed my order on July 15 and the tails shipped on the 17th. They were delivered to my office yesterday morning, August 2. So just over two weeks for me - but as I understand it there can be quite a variation in shipping times, for a whole host of reasons. Have you been tracking your lights on dhl.de?

[Ozram]

WOW!!!

Congrats Adam, the photos are spectacular. They change the whole look and demeanour of the back end don't they?

I was lucky that this morning my wife left for work at the same time and I got to follow her and perv on my LED's for about 20km's

Your car looks fantastic mate, well done.

Thanks very much Ozram! I'd go as far as to say yours and mine now look equally great!

(Or at least they will be when I copy your Denvers-in-black mod! )

Mate, you are more than welcome. It's been a pleasure making your acquaintance.
