Mk6 LED Taillights

I fitted the RVC myself, pretty easy really if you take a bit of time and care, which I know you would.

Yes i have certainly considered buying a kit from Bold Sport etc and fitting it. About $500 or so isnt it?

I paid $162 for install and recoding in Sutherland, Sydney. I did it mainly for peace of mind and also didn't have the ability to recode. Took about 1 hour all up. Very happy with result. I agree in hindsight, it is an easy install but at the time, I had no idea how to do it.

Could I ask who did the install for you?

Or generally if anybody else can recommend a place that can install/code to perfection? Looking to replace front and back lamps with LEDs.

Happy to pay for peace of mind.

Install is a very easy DIY - anyone can do it in 30 mins.

There are many members on here with VCDS that could do the coding for you for a 6-pack.

Hello Vag,

I got Sam at McGrath Sutherland to do it. He and his staff have done some of their own cars. They did a great job.
Hope this helps.

Did you do the smoked effect? Or is it bog standard straight as Vw made it?

If the lights are the exact same parts (with corresponding part numbers) as those fitted to the R, Golf Cabriolet et al, then those parts have been ADR-certified and the cop won't have a leg to stand on. But these OEM lights are usually not referred to as 'smoked'. If the lights are a replica or have been in any way modified, then all bets are off. Where did you source the lights, and what are the part numbers?
