Mk6 LED Taillights

But that's a local part for $1200 vs $1000 for imported? Or are the imported items cheaper than that?

I paid about $770 shipped from Germany, from memory.

$691.86 at today's conversion rate with the Euro.

That is tempting.

And from what i've read here you can pretty much install them yourself - or for a case of beers get one of you fellas to do it. lol

does anyone know if the code boxes that are offered from TMTuning eliminate all faults that would appear without recoding once the Tails are installed? and regardless of what build & xenon/non xenon combination the car may be.

A user with an MY10 tried the box and it worked fine for them. However there've been no updates from members with newer cars who've tried.

Personally I'd save the coin and have a local help you code it up.

thanks AdamD.
yep i might just have to find someone once i get the car, playing with the coding - does it affect your warranty in any way? can VW tell that you have altered the factory coding?

It shouldn't affect your warranty, no, unless you make a mistake and cause faults (making coding changes can render modules unusable, which means the car may be undriveable in the worst case). Obviously you don't want to go changing random bytes in random controllers.

VW will know, by a process of deduction, that the coding has been changed if a) you have fitted LEDs and b) don't have bulb-out warnings.

They are standard on GTI adidas...which i have, and yes, it does fit. It is the exact same shape, just the inside (LED) is different. I dont think these will be standard on the GTI's..but hope they will...although i already have it on my adidas...looks good on GTI in white though

[peedman]

Just to confirm I have a MY11 Gti, revision 615, no xenons and Byte 18 --> 15 works for me!

I might try 22 and 43 just to see if there are any differences...
