MY12 style tail light

[DoggieHowser]

Nice. Do they make it for the MY12?

Would anyone be interested in a group buy if I can get the manufacturer of these lights to make them in a right hand drive version? I'm hestitating on a potential purchase due to the fact the fog light is on the wrong side for the UK and that is a definate MOT failure.

Couple of Qs.:
How much are the LED tail lights now (LHD or EU version) ?
What is the installation process ? wire plug-in straight forward or more involved..


interested YES,
I have Tig TDI model MY11. same sentiments as others, concerned with error codes if LEDs were plugged in.
Keen on UK version or ANZ RHD version tail lights

Got my lights in the post last week and will be going on soon so will share some pics with you all.

Are these from the same place as baboo?

Did they manage to get the fog light sorted? i.e. swapped side?

How do you code out the fog light?
I have the hella blackouts and they throw the code due to the fog light being on the wrong side.

Hi I haven't installed them yet but just trial fitted to see if they caused any bulb out errors and they didn't. To get around the fog light problem I consulted with baboo and his comments were useful. Both the inner lights have allocation for a fog light holder to be installed. The lights come as LHD form with the fog on the left......BUT.........the hole is simply blocked off on the right so all you need to do is drill a hole large enough to get the holder through and then swap over the bulb holder from the other side.

That's my first step. Once installed I will eventually buy another fog holder light holder from VW and wire it up to the other side, either direct or via a relay as a friend advised it will put less strain on the BCM.

As for the lights, yes I got them from the same place as baboo. They sent me the wrong set first with halogen turn signals but then sent out the right version which is all LED, so I have the other version for sale as they don't seem bothered about me sending it back.

I will post up my pictures once fitted and try to get some good shots showing how they look at night/dusk as LED's always come out too bright in photographs.

With the Hella blackouts, you have to swap over the fog light. It is already located on the right hand side.
Just punch or drill the hole and install.

I never optioned fogs so there is no point swapping them over, i just wanted to have the fault code stop showing up on my dash.

Team_V you can use VCDS to disable the rear fog light, I did that and no fault code.

These are mine fitted. I have modified the right hand side light to accommodate the fog light, and also kept the left side in place so I can wire that up later to give me twin fog lights.
