Mk6 LED Taillights

If all you want is darkened lenses, sure.

If you can recommend an online retailer that would help me decide. Thanks.

You can't send a link to your cart...

These are the ones I bought...:

Volkswagen Golf VI TDI > Lighting > Tail Lights > ES#2221162 MKVI R LED Tinted Tail Light Set - With ECS Wiring Harness - 5K0998004KT

From what I understand, your choices are with, or without fog in both tinted or untinted (4 options to chose from!)...

I got the tinted ones without rear fogs... Should have probably gotten the ones with the rear fogs, but no bother, I'll never use them.

Why are you so concerned about the legality side? The untinted ones are the exact same as what's on the Golf R?

10 min job to put your originals back on in the very unlikely event you'll get stickered.. Which I would say is next to impossible, as they are genuine VW parts which are exactly the same as what's on the Golf R.... They'd have to sticker all them too! (i.e. you're ok, they meet ADR's)...

Get the ones with fogs to be safe - assuming your car has rear fogs now (I assume it does).

Get the interior lighting (white LED's) whilst you're at it too! They look fantastic compared to the standard yellow bulbs. They do require a bit of mucking around to install though. Stunning looking at night when they're done..

I'm just waiting for my white licence plate LED's now..

Can I just get blacked out lenses without having to change the bulbs?

You can apply tinting to your existing tail lights if you really want to. However the finish is likely to be poor, and there may well be legality issues depending on how dark you go. You can probably find out the darkest legal tint for tail lights in WA (or all of Aus) by doing a google search...

It's certainly easier to go with a proper solution like the Golf R LED tails, with the darker lenses.

Finally got the lights fitted. Very happy with the result.

Also got the gauge sweep turned on at the same time

Hey guys,

Just got a set of the LED tail lights to install on my GTD the other day. I put them in, and without any coding, the left and right indicators don't work. Is this right? Do you need coding to make the indicators work?

Cheers,
Scott

My guess would be that your wiring adapters are incorrectly wired. IE Pin 1 wire is going to pin3 etc.
Do you have anyone local who already has them and you can compare with?
All lights should work straight out of the box. Are the connectors clicked in properly?

Massive thanks to Ozram. I got my tail lights delivered today from his contact. Anyone around Sydney happy to help a newbie with fit and coding?
