Mk6 LED Taillights

[sek]

AdamD,

Do you know of anyone with a 2011 build that has installed the LED's? And if they needed to change some of the coding differently to previous years makes?

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.

The most recent Central Electrics revision I've had feedback on (ref coding in Australia) is 615 - see this post. That car is an MY11. I'm not aware of any newer revision as yet.

Either way, I think you'd be pretty safe ordering your tails if you want them. If your car is fitted with a subsequent revision of the Central Electrics module, someone at Ross-Tech should be able to help (eg Dana, who is a member of this forum).

I've made my order just before Easter and it was posted out 2 days ago and have just left Germany for Melbourne. This is going to be a long wait, been advised postage will take up to 3 weeks.

Based on the current exchange rate, it's quite a good price for what I've paid for.

So does anyone know if my 2011.5 due in September will include R Tails? I know it will have new front DRL as standard. Assuming R Tails will be included, similar to Adidas.

I have my Golf GTI due in August, there was no mention of the Xenon and DRL as standard, I had to pay for the option. Where did you get your info from?

He's mistaken, or miswording his comment. The Xenon now includes DRL as standard. But Xenon is still a $2000 option....

And no. MY11.5 specs have been known for a long time, and LED tail-lights are not included in the GTI.

Just received confirmation from my dealer. My car due to hit the shores end of July. My OPTIONAL xenons include new LED DRL's. R tails also confirmed now as standard.

Can someone please confirm this? Mine is an MY11.5 without the R Tails. Wouldn't orders now be an MY12?

His exact words were same front DRL's and rear LED's as the newest GTI adidas. Aren't they the same as the R?
