    To continue with the OEM+ upgrades, I've decided to add Euro Spec LED tail lights to my facelift MK6 Jetta. Thanks to A Mancuso for the wiring help.
    If you have bulb out warnings you need to code the following: Central Electronics: Byte 19: bit 4, bit 6, bit 7. Enable them to turn off the warning.

    Hey man, great video, i got the same tail lights and they work really good, but every time I turn on the running lights, blinkers o even the break lights, a light on the dashboard turns one, the notification if one of the lights is not working, but they all are working just fine. Any suggestions?

    • @FocusedGarage

      Yes, you need turn off bulb check signal with Vagcom or OBDeleven.

  • @guambaby78

    My husband put mine on tonight and they look amazing! I am so happy with them and the way he wired them my turn signal does the hyper flash (I am guessing that’s what it is). I do get the bulb out error on the dash but I don’t even care about that because I am so happy with the way this lights look! Your video was great 👍🏻

    Great vid here! Installed similar taillights like these but the signals are sequential instead of static like yours. I still received a bulb out warning though. VCDS fault codes are "010 - Open or Short to Plus - Intermittent" for both left and right tail lights. One thing I do want to highlight is my stock taillights have fog lights whereas the new ones don't. So the coding you gave there can turn off my BOW?

    • @FocusedGarage
      @FocusedGarage  3 роки тому

      I'm not sure what coding you'd use for the rear fog. You may have to dive in and do some wiring or coding research for that.

    Hey, great video, thanks for doing this, I’ve been searching for one just like this for a long time. Quick question, on the outer harness, looks like there is an extra wire tap on wire #1 or 2, is that necessary? Or just a mistake? Thanks!

    • @FocusedGarage
      @FocusedGarage  6 років тому +1

      That was a mistake by me! Lol. I had my wires mixed up when I was attempting to run my turn signla to the inner lights. Good catch.

    • @FocusedGarage
      @FocusedGarage  3 роки тому

      OEM US spec tail lights do not have the functioning amber section. You would require all new tail lights and recoding. The GLI has a different BCM though, so I do not know what all would be required to make this work.

    Hi there buddy! I was struggling in trying to look for these LED tail lights with amber leds from a China VW dealer (in China these exact tail lights are standard) so this video is music to my ears. I was wondering, do they include the side retroreflector and the red marker? cops here in North Carolina are very nuts about every mandatory bulb running ok, so that's my concern. Thanks though!

    • @FocusedGarage
      @FocusedGarage  6 років тому +1

      They have a reflective piece on the side, however there is technically no side facing LED or incandescent light. However the LED running light tube slightly overhangs on to the side.

    Hey do you know what kind of t-tap you used & where you got it? I saw one at Autozone that looked very similar. They were 18-14 gauge quick splices. Also I see you have a red wire w/ some sort of clear female end running from the t-tap, can you tell me specifics on what those pieces are & where you got it? Thanks

    • @FocusedGarage
      @FocusedGarage  5 років тому

      It was just something from a multi piece wire connector set found at Home Depot. They sell variety sets with a bunch of different connectors. You can go whatever route you want for the splices, as long as the wire makes contact.

    @dubbingt 6 років тому

    From the diagram you showed on the outer headlight harness, it shows that the 4th pin (and 5th pin from the inner light that connect) also has a load resistor that then goes to Pin 3 or suitable ground location. Is that needed? Or it just a matter of matching the wires for the inner and outer tail light and thats it? Looks great btw.

    • @FocusedGarage
      @FocusedGarage  6 років тому +1

      +dubbingt we didnt add that resistor. It is for the hyper flash in the cluster. Without the resistor out side still flashes normal. So it is up to you to add it or not. However we didnt.

    • @dubbingt
      @dubbingt 6 років тому

      Awesome good to know. Can you comment on the quality of the tails? Are they OEM VW or aftermarket? Any concerns with the LEDs burning out at some point in the future? I wonder if they are part of an array or individual bulbs which can allow for easy swap if they burn out.

    • @FocusedGarage
      @FocusedGarage  6 років тому

      +dubbingt I would say they are identical to OEM quality. The listing gives them real VW part numbers but mentions "emblems may be scratched off for customs purposes" but there were two spots on the inside of the lights where I could see VW emblems. This leaves me wondering if they are OEM or not. Regardless, quality is very high with these pieces and I don't foresee any issues with these. Hopefully they function well for a long time to come.

    • @dubbingt
      @dubbingt 6 років тому

      They may very well be OEM then. I've only done some brief research so I dont know how close they are to the GLI which some model years came with led tails, but these smoked red tails at least look exactly like the Jetta hybrid tails or perhaps Chinese Jetta tails.

    • @FocusedGarage
      @FocusedGarage  6 років тому

      +dubbingt the biggest difference from these vs the OEM US spec pieces is that the US spec ones share a brake/turn signal whereas these have a separate amber turn signal.

    Hey! Thanks for the video!
    I was finally able to install these taillights even after bringing them to professionals that couldn’t do it, so thank you so much!
    I do have one questions though:
    1. When I installed the left side I chose not to use the load resistor and the right side I did, but I used t-taps to connect the resistors to the wiring.
    The outcome was that the left side without the load resistor had the full blinker strip light up and the right side with the resistor only had the outer lamp turn on. Do you think it was because I installed the load resistor incorrectly (used t-taps instead of splicing) or do you think it may be that I didn’t add the load resistor to the left side as well? I feel that maybe the load resistor is cutting the power to the inner lamp therefore it’s not lighting up. I would rather have the entire strip light up. Thanks you!
