Just make sure you get RHD. The reverse light should be on the left and the rear fog on the right. Otherwise they will not be ADR legal.

Hi all
I'm very keen to get the R lights for my 118TSI, build date JAN 09.
I noted somewhere in the early pages of this thread that it said LEDs are not supported pre June 09 however i'm just a little confused...
Referring AdamD's post #270 in this thread....
Build date: Prior to 2009
LEDs not supported
Build date: 2009, prior to week 22
Central Electrics Revision*: 03xx
Headlights: Halogen or Bi-Xenon
- Coding (hex): 4
- Coding (binary): 00000100
Being that mine is Jan 09, i believe it falls in bucket 2...so my question is, has anyone installed the LED tails and coded a Pre June 09 car?(going by above, it looks like it's possible)
Question 2, anyone in Melb willing to complete the coding for me?
Thanks!!!09 Golf 118TSI DSG

I'm not aware of anyone who's fitted the LEDs to such an early build car. It all comes down to whether your Central Electrics module supports the LEDs (and the ability to not throw a code when they draw less current than regular incandescent bulbs) or not.
Ozram fitted the LEDs to his old 118TSI; I'm not sure of the build date of his car, but I seem to recall his was a July build and had the 0537/0541 revision. The only reason the coding summary post shows a coding option for cars pre- week 22 2009 is because the documentation I received with my LEDs suggested it, but I can't confirm it'll work - and I have read information on other sites suggesting it won't.
Aside: I'm also not 100% sure of the coding for the 0537/0541 revision... I have it listed as 15, but maybe it's 4. Ozram, can you confirm the coding you settled on for your 118?2008 MkV Volkswagen Golf R32 DSG

It's a physical controller; I have a feeling it's located underneath the dash up above the pedals on a Mk6. Yes, it is changeable, but I don't know of anyone in Australia who's done it. It wouldn't be cheap I suspect.2008 MkV Volkswagen Golf R32 DSG

It's easily changed and requires re-coding based on original module for it to function properly. It's no harder to change than the CAN Gateway.

VeeDub23, I might know someone who is selling their old CECM which is from a 2011 GTI. It may fit?? I'll enquire for you.sigpic
