MK7 GTI Smoked LED Tail Lights Install & Review!

Today we install some new Euro Style Mk7.5 LED tail lights on Josh's Mk7 GTI! These tail lights look awesome and were only 250$ from eBay (looks like the price went up to 330$, still a great deal). They have smoked clear lenses and black housing and are fitted with LEDs. The tail lights also have dynamic sequential turn signals and white LED reverse fog lights. The install was very easy and is plug and play. We highly recommend this mod for any MK7 GTI owner.

small tip you can also run a flathead through the groove on the connector and it will give enough room to be able to plug the cars pigtail in

[@dominikdavila1981]

did you guys end up setting up the sequential for the tail lights

[@Holt.G.Haus369]

Howdy did you ever get it coded to do the sequencial blinker/ turning signals?

[@daver7818]

Did you guys unplug the battery when installing?

Does anyone know if this fits the mk7.5 GTI

[@LosAngelesConfidential.]

That’s weird when I go to the link it says it won’t fit but I have the exact same stock taillights that are in video 😂

[@itisthomas]

Hey! I’m curious how bright these lights are in day time? The “stop” light doesn’t look too bright and doesn’t distinguish itself enough. Thoughts?

[@TMWYT]

LED lights are difficult to show accurately through camera/video. In person, they are brighter then OEM, during the day as well as the night.

[@itisthomas]

@@TMWYT thanks for the reply! Been trying to find a set of clear tails but it’s impossible. These are the closest.

Did you have to code the lights for the sequential lights to work? Or did you get a harness?

Nope

[@jimbrown5605]

Bulb error!!? Open/short circut to B+!? DONT FORGET TO DISABLE YOUR REAR SIDE MARKERS. euro lights don't have the little red tic tac in the tails. I was looking for error and then realized rear side markers trying to turn on where there are none will cause issue!!! Hope it helps someone!!

[@vandyy8]

Mine have been fine and it’s been a couple months with lots of rain. Almost all my buddies including myself have even gotten water and soap in our Oem tails just from washing our cars. If you get some liquid sealer or something and put a thin layer on the seams you won’t have any leaks… i haven’t even done this and I’m fine. This just gives you extra piece of mind that it won’t leak.

[@jordangaribaldo2440]

@@vandyy8 bet cause these are the only tails I’m really likin but I’ve been hearing a lot about water leaking in! I’ll look into them then thanks boss!

hey guys, i installed these and basically obd eleven urban joke screwed them up and only the outer lights light up and the turn signals are glitchy. any idea what’s going on and how i could fix it? i’ve already disabled all the urban joke stuff and it’s still weird.
