Mk6 LED Taillights

**G-rig** · 19-05-2010, 08:37 AM

Is it possible to have a reverse light on both sides as well as the rear fog? Assume you'd have to order some extra bits (referring to the R ones).

Although i love the R lights it still looks a bit tryhard having them on a lesser car, like you really wanted an R..

They have two reverse lights in the US I believe, and no foglight. All those over there that want the R LED's are having to order a Euro light switch and add extra wiring to the loom. So, yes they are available. As for a rear fog as well, I think you'd have to bolt something extra on and it probably would not be aesthetically pleasing.

I don't see why everyone needs to follow fashion and must lower their rides, or add other bolt-on goodies to look cool. I love the R LED's and don't particularly give a damn what anyone else thinks about the fact that I will be bolting them on to my 118TSI. If I like something I'll do it, only thing I'd want an R for is the nice blue paintwork that I can't get in a standard Golf.

I got mine installed today.

I also replaced the bulbs for the turn signals with LED bulbs.

I like them a lot.

Looks great OE.

Definitely a mod that I am interested in.

+1 on both points.

I saw a GTI at night a couple of evenings ago, and wasn't blown away by the stock tail lights. As soon as someone's brave enough to do this mod in Australia, please post your experiences buying and installing!

I noticed your post on vortex media group. Do you know if it's possible to get the auto windows up working with the keyfob? The pre-face lift used to allow you to hold the button down just for an instant instead of the whole time the windows are closing.

Cheers,

Yes, the Mk6 can be set to roll the windows down with the Key fob, and to close all the windows (and the sunroof if it is open) with the Key Fob. To set this, you have to make a setting change in the 09 Central Electrics module using either a VAG-COM software console, or have your dealer do it

Here is a link to all of the tweaks for the Mk6

Hi, it's working but not like the MK5, as I didn't have to hold the button down the whole time the windows are going up. ie, you could walk away from the car once you saw the windows start going up.

called up local vw dealer and parts centre, you can now get the golf r led tail lights for $1400 (exy!) - just the lights, no fitting. the service centre also mentioned they cannot do the install as they dont have the cable adapters to do the retrofit on the gti....short story, they wont do it.
