VCDS (VAG-COM) codes and programmable options for Golf Mk7

[DV52]

I swapped the standard tail lights on my GTI for a set of after market leds. I'm finding the tail lights (as in red lights on with headlights) too bright making it difficult to notice the brake lights as their isn't much difference in brightness. Anyone know what I need to change with VCDS to reduce tail light brightness?

Jimmyhamesred: OK -to paraphrase of your question, you want to further-dim the rear tail-lights when the Parking light function operates so as to accentuate the brake lights - and your car has standard "Leuchte" settings for incandescent tails notwithstanding that you have installed LED fittings?

If I have understood your situation correctly then here are the relevant Leuchte-channels and the changes that you might consider making:

Left outer tail lamp (brake light)

• ENG116956-ENG116261-Leuchte20BR LA71-Dimmwert CD 20 current value 28 - change to lower nu8mber

Left inner tail lamp

• ENG116959-ENG116314-Leuchte23SL HLC10-Dimmwert AB 23 current value 28 -change to lower number

Right outer tail lamp (brake light)

• ENG116957-ENG116280-Leuchte21BR RC8-Dimmwert CD 21, current value 28 -change to lower number

Right inner tail lamp

• ENG116960-ENG116333-Leuchte24SL HRA65-Dimmwert AB 24, current value 28 -change to lower number

Of course you will need to enter the magic number 31347 as the security access code before attempting to make thiese changes

PS: A consequence of making these changes will be that the Single-Sided-Parking-Light facility will also dim to the number that you have selected (the two outer tail lights perform SSPL). If this is a problem, please advise and I will work-out a further set of changes that decouples SSPL from the normal parking light activity
