Mk6 LED Taillights

[Corey_R]

only the side of the fog light and reverse light is different

lol... that's exactly what makes them illegal

[MkVIGTI]

Which seems rather stupid, I wonder why VW didn't make a global one like most of the japanese car makers. How would the coding of the lights differ for the LHD ones does anyone know?

[Corey_R]

Um... there are plenty of Japanese cars with a single reverse and fog like. Subaru anyone?
This ain't a "VW thing" or even a "Euro thing".

And that's just about spot-on what I paid.

Hey Adam, so was $771 AUD including shipping / insurance etc?

Yup, sure was.

Recoding complete and no bulb out warnings now .

Thanks again to Ozram.

Hey Hail,

Care to let me know where you got the recoding done and how much? PM me?

I now have a VCDS cable. If you need a hand let me know.

Hey Ozram,

Thanks - might take you up on the offer when i get my GTI (only placed the order in Oct). For now i'll wait on buying the LEDs and see if there are any changes on MY11 GTI's

Has anyone tried coding a 2010 GTI with Xenons and a central electric revision ending 0615?

I was helping out Mr Fox with coding his new LEDs and thought we should confirm the correct code before pulling the trigger.

Cheers

If he sourced them from Ozram's German contact, email the contact to check. And of course check the instructions that came with the tails, if any,

[Golfitup]

The instructions only cover revisions upto 5xx. I will get Mr Fox to email whoever he bought them from (I think Ozrams contact). I still would lik to hear from anyone who as actually coded 0615 revision...just for peace of mind.

[mr fox]

Yep Ozrams contact, ill send him an Email ASAP..
Hey Adam, should my tail lights be on all the time, even when the switch is on 0 (off)?

I just jumped onto the VWVortex thread and had a quick look through. There's a guy with a "2011" Golf (so I'm guessing 0615 here) with Euro-spec lights with rear fog and xenons, who's using 15 (00010101) and that works. (There's also some suggestion that 22 might work for rear-fog-equipped 2011 cars with halogens.)

I've updated my coding post with the above information... anyone who tries out these configs on a 0615 car, please let me know the outcome so I can update my post.

I've also emailed the German VW dealer requesting any updated coding info he may have.

Anyone who's got a 0615 car - I strongly advise you to read the last few pages of the VWVortex thread and glean all the info from it you can. Might be worth emailing Dana @ Ross-Tech as well.

No, they (all four) should only be on when your headlights are on, or when your foot is on the brake (outer two).

I've updated the first post in this thread with a summary of the points relating to the ordering, installation and coding of the LED tails.
