Mk6 LED Taillights

[5317707]

Thanks to ozram for the contact details. My R tail lights arrived in 1 week from Germany instead of 2 weeks as stated (express post - dhl) . This was almost as good as my intake that arrived from the uk in 3 days(ups)! All that is needed now is coding. Anyone in the S/E of Melb care to help? Can repay in beer =D

Here is a pic of the 'weisser hase - white rabbit' fitted with some new tails!

What? I still don't have mine and they were sent on the 16th of December. That's 6 weeks ago!

Did you get the tracking number from the seller? Did they make it to Australia? They shouldn't take anything like that long.

I'm in the same boat.... i live in S/E melbourne and looking for a coder..... =(

Done! Enabled Cluster Staging too. Looks good!

Thanks Mythik! Much appreciated! Error free & cluster staging!!

hey i've been following this thread for quiet some time and love it, the cherries look awesome. What i'm actually chasing is something a bit different so if anyone has come across similar stuff please feel free to share, i'm after smoked LED's i know ECS tuning has them but they're only for left hand drive

Hi all, apologies I notice today in shop window reflection my DRL are not on, lamp setting on 'Auto' which prior to the coding change to '4' were working.

They do operate at night though when the low beams are sensor activated.

Only way to activate DRL during the day is to turn to lamp mode onto the next setting i.e. two lamp icon.

I am a little stumped, as the volks shop advised that '15' was not a selectable option on this central electric module 0651 module as this solved this previously observed problem with the last posted centrsl electric module update!

If any finds the correct coding, appreciate an update.

Paid for 13th Dec, sent 16th December, arrived in Oz on 20th. To depot for delivery on 24th. To my place? I'd advise paying extra for the faster postage.

I've bought lots of stuff from the U.S. and it usually arrives in 5 to 7 days.

One thing I do know is the supplier did dispatch them quickly- then the post office took over!

Well the whinging and moaning gods must have heard me as the tail lights arrived today. Took about 15 minutes or so to install and I'm about to go and do the coding.

I watched Golfitup's youtube video on how to do the installation and went right to it. Thanks to him for that vid...

Now I have to buy another car so I can follow my GTI around and watch those little buggers shine!

Would probably be cheaper to fly past the nearest speed camera and request the photo

My car was built March, 2010 and I had the same problem. I just set it to 04. I then noticed that my DRL's weren't working....I then noticed that it was dark. No fault codes after a scan..

Thanks Adam.

Had the coding performed and it would appear the Central Electrics Module has been updated.... For my June '11 build MY12 GTI, it is now 0651 ie. BCM PQ35 M 110 0651.

The setting was changed from 2 to 4 (15 was not a selectable) and all working as expected w/o the error. A big thanks to Peter from a local VW shop for making the update.

After much mucking about I used LCode 2 and entered the binary code of 00010101 manually and it gave me the value of 15 for byte 18. All works well and I've got my DRL's back.

I wonder if Zircon still has DRL's even if it is a June 11 build?

Thanks Tux, I'll give these settings a go... Sounds like the answer I'm after . Do you know what Central Electric Module version no.? u have, mine is 0615. A match here will be definitive wrt to whether the coding is correct for my car!

According to your post here, your version is 0651, not 0615. The coding for 0615 and Halogens has been confirmed many times over. Depending on the version of VCDS you're using you may need to enter the value in binary (which is why the coding post gives the value in binary as well as hex).

Please see the info at the bottom of the coding post ref what you should check before confirming your lights work as expected. Specifically, you should be checking:

• No Bulb-Out warnings
• Indicators and hazards operate correctly
• Parking lights - correct bulbs and brightness
• Headlights and taillights (inc high beam and brakes) - correct bulbs and brightness
• DRLs - correct bulbs and brightness
• Reverse light
• Front foglights
• Rear fog light
• Inner tails switch off on tailgate release

What you and Tux might be experiencing is the DRL problem (affected me with module 0575 when I coded to 04).

Once you've updated your coding and checked your lights against the list above, please let me know the results so I can update the coding page with the right information.

My car has module 0575 and It had all the symptoms listed by AdamD. ie. the bright parking lights, no DRLs etc. When I manually put the 00010101 in lCode 2 as I said, the value in the byte 18 'box' changed to 15. I didn't have the option of '15' in the drop down box.
