Mk6 LED Taillights

The instructions only cover revisions upto 5xx. I will get Mr Fox to email whoever he bought them from (I think Ozrams contact). I still would lik to hear from anyone who as actually coded 0615 revision...just for peace of mind.

Yep Ozrams contact, ill send him an Email ASAP..
Hey Adam, should my tail lights be on all the time, even when the switch is on 0 (off)?

I just jumped onto the VWVortex thread and had a quick look through. There's a guy with a "2011" Golf (so I'm guessing 0615 here) with Euro-spec lights with rear fog and xenons, who's using 15 (00010101) and that works. (There's also some suggestion that 22 might work for rear-fog-equipped 2011 cars with halogens.)

I've updated my coding post with the above information... anyone who tries out these configs on a 0615 car, please let me know the outcome so I can update my post.

I've also emailed the German VW dealer requesting any updated coding info he may have.

Anyone who's got a 0615 car - I strongly advise you to read the last few pages of the VWVortex thread and glean all the info from it you can. Might be worth emailing Dana @ Ross-Tech as well.

No, they (all four) should only be on when your headlights are on, or when your foot is on the brake (outer two).

I've updated the first post in this thread with a summary of the points relating to the ordering, installation and coding of the LED tails.

well the tails are on regardless, would VCDS update fix this?

Mr fox, I have checked my car and the tails light go off when the headlights are off even when DRLs are activated.

Do you recall if the stock tails went off or stayed on? if they went off, then my guess is the coding should fix it. If you have some spare time maybe swap them back and check (unless anyone else can confirm). I cannot remember if mine went off or stayed on before coding.

Hi Adam,

I replied to a 2011 / SWL 0615 / RHD ( I believe Singapore market?) here with a few experimental suggestions:

VWVortex.com - LED tail Install with or without Rear Fog.

Please post some feedback on those. My car is a 2010 / SWL 0576 / LHD so I can't test this.

Thanks very much Dana. I don't have a 0615 car, so can't test this myself, but hopefully someone else on the forum (eg mr fox) can. If I hear anything further on this, I'll PM you the details!

I've just heard back from the (German dealer) supplier of my tails ref coding for 0615.

I believe he's saying that for Halogen-equipped (non Xenon) cars, 0575 and 0615 require the same coding: 15. (He sounds somewhat confident of this.)

He also says that for Xenon, it should also be the same as for 0575: 43. So, hopefully it should either be that or possibly 22, as indicated by Dana's post in the VWVortex thread.

Any feedback from persons with 0615 cars is appreciated!
