Mk6 LED Taillights

[backdoc]

Hey Mate,

Yep... when the car is running during the day and my lights are set to Auto, LED DRLs are on, headlights and R-Tails are off. My lights work EXACTLY as they should!

Sounds to me like a coding issue... it took 3 different codes before "04" worked for my car. How many codes did you try? Are you using "04"?

I haven't coded it yet. That's why I wasn't quite clear if what I was experiencing was the same as yourself and others PRIOR to the coding. I assumed that the tails should be OFF. Thanks again for helping me out.

Just a quick heads up to anyone thinking of purchasing the LED's through my contact in Germany.

The guy I deal with is on annual leave at the moment and someone is filling in for him. I have had a couple of members contact them during this time and are being given some different part numbers for the LED's.

Now I know that the lights changed around week 45 2010 from the original part numbers that I have on my 2009 model.
Original numbers for dark tint RHD models were
1.
1x 5K0 945 093 Q (Inner Light)
1x 5K0 945 094 Q (Inner Light)
1x 5K0 945 095 L (Outer Light)
1x 5K0 945 096 L (Outer Light)

Thanks to chopper for supplying me the part numbers that we fitted to his 2011 GTI with Bi-Xenon's
2.
5K0 945 095 L
5K0 945 096Q
5K0 945 094AE
5K0 945 093Q

The part numbers quoted to the two members this week were
3.
5K0945093AG
5k0945094AG
5K0945095Q
5K0945096Q

At this moment in time I have asked DupDup & TwisTz to email them and get clarification if they can. Hopefully the normal guy will be back on board soon and we can resolve this confusion.

If anyone who has ordered LED's from me recently has any of their part numbers handy and can list their build week, model & headlight type it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

OK, thanks to DubDub for clearing this up.

The German contact has said part numbers that he quoted (3) are the latest supercession to part numbers (2). I already knew that (2) were good numbers as I have fitted them.

So, if anyone is in the process of ordering these it looks like its OK to go ahead.

No worries Mate... we found the car did some funny stuff with different codes in the System!

I think if you code it properly, you'll be OK!

Hi Ozram,

I've got a tracking number now so I will provide an update once's the lights are here and installed with the new part numbers.
cheers

Another big thanks to Ozram for all the help and expert advice!

My rear LED’s have just arrived… they’re looking pretty good just sitting in the box… can’t wait to see them on the car!

Quick question – can anyone confirm the correct byte 18 code for a March 2011 build GTI with Halogen lights? Looks like I’m the only guy that didn’t get Xenons in this thread (the 6-8 month wait was too long!)

Seems everyone is using code “04” the info sheet said not to use “15” for Australian cars… other option is “43”?

Planning to fit tonight and get the dealer to do a quick code job for me…

Hi crew,

I trade in my GTI for an A5 Sportback this week.

I am removing the Mk6 Golf R LED Tails I installed to re-install the stock parts today.

Therefore if you want to save yourself the hassle of importing them (although it was as smooth as I could have hoped thanks to the advice in this thread), you can buy them and pick them up off me as of this week. If you wanted to install them on the spot I don't mind helping. Just bring beers.

Recoding was simple at a dealer. They respect you for putting them in yourself so are happy to help.

PM for price and details.

[Escell]

Sorry to bump, but still getting quite a few PMs about the LEDs - they were sold the night of the last post. Have to be quick!

Has anyone got any info regarding coding on a MY12 (with Halogens)? Really keen on the LED tail lights.

Cheers

I've got the MY12 and used '15'. Everything works fine.
