  • 7.5 R / GTI PE1 taillights on 7.5 GTI

    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone has any information on installing 7.5 GTI PE1 / R taillights on a 7.5 GTI.

    Specifically around whether the wiring harness would need to be changed and coding required if using OEM.

    Is it worth the effort, i'm assuming it would void warranty

    If anyone knows a place that does this in Melbourne it would be great to know.

    Cheers

      I emailed VW Central a few weeks back. They are working on the coding, not sure about a harness. I'm hoping they a plug and play with coding.

      The dealer I got my car from said it wouldn't void the warranty assuming it can be down without a 3rd party harness.

      As for worth the effort. @ close to $2k, I'm on the fence as the stock LED tail lights are pretty good looking already.

        hmm......... you should be able to get a good idea of the changeover work by comparing the BCM admap from a car with the new fittings against the BCM admap on your car. You only need to look at the Leuchte-sets for the rear tails - compare the BCM pin number that's embedded in the channel name and the actual settings.

        $2K - really?? Seems a lot to pay for the new tails (IMO)

        Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the wider expertise of other forum members! Thank you.

          Geeze 2k! I dont understand what you meant by the BCM stuff, i aint that tech savvy, just like the look of those lights better....
          Picking up my GTI 7.5 in Jan so I don't have the car yet.. Dealer said "They can't fit the GTI PE1 / R tail lights on any other golf model because they wont be compatible with the central computer unit" :S
