[VWplo]

Lunchbox, i just recieved my Black oem tails and my brake lights are soldiered in aswell. really complicated things, dont have reverse light working atm which is really not ideal, which pins where you taking about earlier, i cant seem to find them?

also is there a way of using VCDS to just use the LHD set up? if So, anyone here know how?

Hi guys,

I've got a set of the black OEM tail lights coming after following this thread. Really good info on all the different options.

Just checking if anyone had any updates as to if the VCDS can be set to use LHD tail lights?

lunchbox - did your red LED globes just go straight in, no worries?


cheers

Nope you can't change it in VCDS. The wiring loom is set according to region when the car is built and its hard wired.

The only 2 options is to use the back panels from the original headlights or swap the pin layout on the plug that goes into the panel. Either way it's a 30 second job for each

All good. Thanks nomadx38.
Now just gotta hurry up and wait for them to arrive....

No you need a load resister. Near a or Philips do good ones. Philips have some led brake globes now but not sure if there error free.

I just picked up my Dectane Tail lights today. Just wondering if anyone has specific details on how to change the wiring so the reverse light works

[MrDeathLad]

I installed mine yesterday. Can send you the "instructions" that I used.

fastlane, what happened to your dectane photos? I'm curious now.

Probably took them down when he sold them.

Here's what the black one look like. (Parkers anyway.)

Mate they look amazing!!! Matches your colour combo too

iigx - I have been clearing out my photobucket account. Turns out a few ebay resellers have been pinching my photos from majority of my taillights installed so decided to take them all down. I remove photos ASAP now.

The Dectanes are amazing (I'm sure the two would agree with me here) the build quality of the taillights are amazing, even more so than the black OEM taillights I had

Whats wrong with the original tail lights. I think they are pretty cool nyway !
