Mk6 LED Taillights

Do you mean change it to 15 in the drop menu in byte 18 ? Where all the light setup options are ?

See this post from Golfitup - his Youtube video walks you through it step by step.

The VCDS interface for byte 18 may look a little different now as the software is updated over time, and Ross-Tech may now provide a drop-down for that byte given various users' feedback on what each value does. The key is to make sure you code byte 18, and set it to the correct value (shown in hex and binary) that's appropriate for your model and configuration (ref the coding summary for more info on that).

Got this all sorted today thanks to Adam @ VA Garage ... Not sure what he did but all good now .

Hi All,

So i've just read through all 47 pages...

Just wondering if anyone with a 2011 build has bought and installed the LED's? If so what codes are used?

I'm expecting to take delivery of my GTI in May and really want the LEDs but might wait until there is more info for 2011 builds.

I saw a brand spanking white GTI on my jog yesterday afternoon with Xenons and it had the front and rear LEDs, looked pretty cool . Hopefully they make it standar for MY12 but we all know how likely that'll be...

Do the guys that have changed to the LED tails think it was worth it? I am still 50:50 whether to make the change.

Having driven behind my mates R, i think they are 100% worth it. LED's look awesome at night and me driving behind his would have looked even better!!!

Boys and girls.

Obviously, this thread refers extensively to VCSD. If a dealer (now VW authorised that is) who is next door to my work has VAG-COM, is it easy for them to do it with this system and any instructions on what they need to do? They have done numerous Beeemms but mine would be the first VW and rather than have them spend a while researching the right settings, it would help to know if there is some guidance that I could provide?

Please note that VCDS and VAG-COM are the same thing, and that neither are "officially" used by Volkswagen dealerships.

Since VAG is trademarked to Volkswagen Audi Group, the avoid any confusion (such as the post above), RossTech were asked to change the name of VAG-COM to VCDS.

Your VW dealer may be able to do this anyway - but not using instructions from this thread, unless they have RossTech's VCDS.

Thanks chap - makes perfect sense. Much appreciated. Andy
