It's so crazy that these can't be installed from the factory due to DOT regulations. These taillights look so much safer than the US spec ones due to the amber turn signal.

[@bartoski-ag]

of course it is, just like matrix lights are not allowed, DOT are retarded

[@blue-ck9ns]

They could have installed them from the factory AND passed regulations if they just made the amber turn signal flash instead of sweep across. But, VAG clearly hates us Americans

[@eatmishorts33]

I've been looking into taillight for almost a year, and this video is everything I needed. Big help.

[@LGaragem]

Very useful information. European ones look so much better. I hate red turning signals!

[@Andrew-zv4fm]

ClanTKillers I agree. I don't like the red turn signals. Well when they serve as break and tail light. If they are independent that is great.

[@SG-sz5vh]

ClanTKillers i

[@SG-sz5vh]

ClanTKillers i do not kno why vw uses the red tailights in the usa and canada as where they are made in puebla mexico, they all use amber turn signals in the rear. Seems stupid to me to increase cost and complexity of build. Just give all vws amber lenses, Fare safer, too, esp in inclement weather

[@TH3B00T]

Doesn’t USA have some weird law about Xenon or LED lights as well?

[@iSeedless]

TH3BOOT it's a state-by-state issue, and most states don't care. So VW dumbs down all their US cars to pander to whatever state has the most strict laws. So we all suffer. I even doubt the US will ever see the facelift LEDs on stock.

[@BigBoss-kk8hq]

Can’t wait for them to go on sale for Black Friday

[@MrPummi88]

Interesting, in the US you want Orange indicators. In germany many want Red indicators, but its not allowed xD

[@Benjammin43]

grass is always greener on the other side haha

[@sebafer2719]

Benjamin lol true

[@OsirisPL]

Does anyone know if EU standard led can be changed plug&play to EU dynamic led? Both on facelifted Golf 7.5.

[@fitomnia]

I have a 2016 Golf R. Would the face lift tail-lights fit?

[@dylansmith3]

If I’m already running the euro tails from the earlier mk7 with harness and coding am I able to install the BMP face lift tails without swapping the harness

[@StijnNLDutch]

5:08 what are those lights, the fog lights? I have a gti tcr, but noticed they flashed when i was operating the back door (forgot the english name lol)

[@Jvilleman400]

Idk man. The brake lights on the 7.5 tails don’t look like they go with the rest of the tail light

[@daBlairSkii]

Would the harness wiring work with the Vland aftermarket taillights?

[@aleksandrshik9208]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get us LED version tail lights for 2015+ Golf SPORTWAGEN since tail lights are physically different from regular Golf.

[@yinyowhite]

Love your videos. It would be nice to see mk6 videos once in a while too. It seems all your content turned mk7.

[@Zenairo]

Wonderful! Thank you, this will be my first mod to my US MK7 R.

[@GenerationRx]

Soo, would I need to swap these out every year for inspection?

[@Blade102384]

I need some help, clarification specifically. I want to get dynamic tail lights for my mk7.5 GTI. Which are the best ones to get and do they all require the new harness install?

[@dstar0007]

Are this suitable for mk7 1.4 TSI 2018?

[@JavierGomez-lh8uj]

You should do a mk6 gti taillights and headlight options

[@andregirbal6351]

Hi @shopdap. Do you think possible to install oem led tail light from a mk7 golf R into a mk7.5 gti ? With or without harness? With or without coding? Thanks

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Nope

[@xenyyrockkstar]

Hi, I have a GOLF GTI mk7 with Factory-fitted LED tails. Do I still need the wiring harness just like the NA model or is the Dynamic LED tails (mk7.5) are going to be a plug n play for my car?

[@bgyjunior]

Has anybody created a harness that allows you to plug mk7 taillights into a mk7.5? I know the connectors are different but I want to figure it out.

[@eric6650]

I’ve seen a video of an LED tail with true sequential with amber lights. I’m not just talking inner, then outter. I’m talking sequential(like the facelift model of the 7.5). A friend said they don’t have that particular sequential way for the MK7 LED. Is there a way or coding that I can allow for it to do it like the 7.5, or do I need to source out from a vendor in Australia?

[@chemicalred96]

So with plug and play we don't get reverse lights? (Apart from not getting the ambient turn signals)

[@ctersigni]

Have u got any info on mk6 jetta tail lights?? And led conversions. How can i tell if i have a mk6 or mk6.5

[@ernestosoeiro8993]

hi, to do any of these changes do you also need to change the light switch?

[@surviveasl]

What about euro spec led tails light are they just plug and play with no coding??

[@LDN057]

Does this fit on a wagon?

[@kamrantravers1857]

Did you take the MK7 build thread off of the site? I’m just getting error pages on all of the links.

[@JoJoJoker]

Who makes the dark cherry OEM? Mine has a marking AL 8124.

[@jimmcfarland3446]

So....ypu compare 4 sets but only show 1 in operation...

[@EthanWainland]

Why are the Magneti Marelli discontinued?

[@eric6650]

Is there any way to make the “led” on either of the dark cherry or tinted version to be sequential like I have seen in another KZbin video by way of coding?

[@eric6650]

*edit* the amber turn signals.

[@SoumaMondal]

Will the MK7.5 Facelift light work in a plug-and-play fashion? Meaning, will it have basic functionality without coding in a similar fashion to the other lights?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

no they wont even plug in. The connectors are not the same

[@Jokero_YT]

3:15 doesn't look like the brake lights worked..?

[@abdulla.binayaf]

hi, would the 7.5 light fit directly to a European golf r 2016? or we do need a harness?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+abdulla binayaf this will not work for European model.

[@Andrew-zv4fm]

Great video. Question: If a person makes this modification, would this void the warranty?

[@nhoff7703]

I would think not since it could be easily reversed and thus undetectable.

[@TH3B00T]

Andrew Syracuse I wouldn’t say so. I believe by modification they refer to Engine modifications.

[@anshuljain2130]

Great video Deutsche Auto Parts! Any thoughts on the long term durability and reliability of the Helix brand head/tail lights? I'm thinking about upgrading lights on my '15 Jetta but am hesitant for that reason. Thanks, keep up the great work!

[@antonclaeys]

Do these fit in the variant/estate/wagon version or only the hatchback version?

[@aleksandrshik9208]

they don't fit

[@antonclaeys]

are aftermarket lights available for this the estate?

[@TheAztekmaf]

Do you know tail lights brand TC ?

[@pallethaman145]

how about us with the variant model ?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+Patrik Ohlsson this is something we're working on.

[@pallethaman145]

Thank you ! Where i'm from (Sweden) we don't have anyone focusing on the Variant or Combi as they're called here.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+Patrik Ohlsson anything we put out will not be for your model as we only have us models to work with

[@pallethaman145]

would you be able to recommend someone who might carry something for the eu models ?

[@aleksandrshik9208]

Please make them soon... my US 2015 sportwagen needs one!

[@gordogmc13]

Like #100!!

[@traveling_ftw]

Thanks for the vid guys, you've always helped me, so now, I'm going to help you @deutscheautoparts - Your vehicle registration is expired, says it expired in February! (4:50 mark) - So...Can I get a discount please?

[@justindtackett]

the facelift lights are so sexy

[@salk8566]

Is it just me or shopdap.com is a little overpriced???

[@blackecho101]

they seem very reasonable to me, but then again i've spent way to much time browsing ecstuning.com over the past few years, they are much more overpriced than the small companies like shopdap.com

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+Sal K can you be specific about the parts you might be looking at?

[@RushIndustries]

It's just you.

[@christophrrharkin3924]

Deutsche Auto Parts Hi guys I live in the UK and have a standard 2014 mk7 golf. I just wanted to ask if it would be possible to fit any of these tail lights and matching headlamps on my car. Thanks

[@craigr.h.laurent240]

Too much hesitation and confusion.

[@vr6gls]

While I appreciate the informative video, there is no way in hell I am paying $1,000 dollars just for tail lights. Absolutely not. 👎

[@JoJoJoker]

Good thing they're only like $600.
