The Arrival Of Hella LED Tail Lights For My GTI Mark 5

Showing my Latest upgrades: Clear side markers, Euro Switch, Hella Euro Spec Taillights w/Rear integrated Fog light! These lights had to be re-programmed with Vag-Com and re-coded into Euro Spec! A big THANKS to Dave and Gabriel at ETA Tuning for their research and hard work in seeing to it that my Hella Amber lights worked as well. See PART 2 for more details about what you need to install properly.

After watching this video, I am ashamed to drive a GTI that looks just like that one.

@TheJezza2 You can never be ashamed of driving a GTI MkV.

700 bucks for some tail lights. They look good I can't lie. But there is so much more you can upgrade for that amount of money.

@FicoBezKocnicaBL They were about $500 or so plus install but they can light up much quicker than US spec ones about 14:1 ratio with LED's

Nice gti, I have a one and just installed the apr software if I wanted to install these tail lights with fog light, I will have to mess around with ecu to convert them into euro spec. Do you think there will be some interference with apr and euro spec conversion???

[gtiman67]

@jjess8757 Not at all they are not related... I have APR Stage 2 and it does not interfere with it at all. But you need someone with VAG-COM expertise... they will need to recode it and add extra wires for Euro Spec to work properly. Euro code rules! SAE sucks and needs to catch up with the times:-D
