VW Golf MK7 license plate LED

How to replace license plate T10 bulbs with LEDs in #Volkswagen Golf MK7. Check out how to remove old bulbs and put in new ones. You need to use CAN-BUS ready LEDs or recode your car so the control unit knows that you are using LEDs and it should avoid testing the number plate light circuit expecting traditional bulbs.

Thanks for the vid. Worked great for me on my Mk 7.5 golf and error free too. Got the same bulbs off amazon and took a few days to arrive.

[@nickdegroot2445]

Did you take the Aglint canbus bulbs? wanna install those on my Leon but wanna be sure not to trigger any canbus warnings.

[@anthonymillar6183]

Fitted led bulbs they look 😎 compared to halogen do you recommend in obd eleven retrofit set to led ??? Thanks

[@nickdegroot2445]

Hey, I was wondering if you know the coding for Seat Leon 5F 2013 for LED license plate lights?

[@jelleschweigmann7127]

Led istalled and coded, but now the lights flashing and the left one goes off. Bought the aglint T10 W5W. Do i need to buy T15 W16W or a complete new unit? Please let me know.

Witam. Ile kosztowałoby takie zakodowanie dodam, że jestem z tego samego miasta co Pan?

[@danielbaitler8380]

In my golf I can't find with no error,all not working with canbus, maybe u can send a link?

[@blumao1]

Great vid 👍

[@jerzybulwa5567]

Napiszesz jakich dokładnie LEDów użyłeś? Bo nie wiem jaką moc i gdzie takie LEDy kupić, nie korzystając z aliexpress.

[@dannydigiacomo2816]

Thanks great video, what application do you use to program the car? and where do I get it and cost?

[@mrfixpl]

OBDeleven.

Dzieki za film

[@myx3161]

Co jeśli te kabelki mi "spadły" w zderzaku, można jakoś do nich się dostać?

[@mrfixpl]

Sprawdź czy nie masz od spodu zderzaka otworu do instalacji haka holowniczego. Powinno się dać wymacać te przewody.

[@piotrpiotr8359]

Witam. Czym robiles kodowanie?

[@mrfixpl]

OBDeleven

[@tomasfordham9453]

What app did u use to recode your car

[@mrfixpl]

OBDeleven with PRO license. There's a lot of stuff that you can do with it in MK7.

[@KrystianGT]

Cześć, znasz może sposób jak zakodować przez obdeleven pro nie korzystając z aplikacji tylko z długiego kodowania. Kupiłem oryginalne lampki LED do VW golf 7.5 i myślałem, że będzie po montażu błąd. Otóż NIE, podmienia się lampki i wszystko działa. Dla potomnych nr lampki 3G5.943.021

[@anthonymillar6183]

Did you need to change plug connections?

[@KrystianGT]

@@anthonymillar6183 No, nothing needs to be changed.

[@tzahui]

I replaced mine and now the panel says check license plate lights. How do I fix that? The leds work fine but the computer probably does not detect the new leds

[@mrfixpl]

You need to do one of the following: 1. Recode the car so it expects LEDs over there 2. Replace LEDs with ones with a load resistor that will drain additional power and trick the car into thinking that there are regular bulbs installed.

[@tzahui]

@@mrfixpl How do I recode the car bro? do I need a special tool that gets connected to the computer? thanks

[@mrfixpl]

@@tzahui You need diagnostic tool like OBDeleven or VCDS. Personally I use OBDeleven.

[@tzahui]

mr-fix thank you

[@redihoxha2940]

What's that led model that work error free?

[@mrfixpl]

I believe those were Aglint W5W CAN-BUS ready.

[@redihoxha2940]

@@mrfixpl and aglint t15 can work error free for reverse?

[@mrfixpl]

I have those new T15s from Aglint still in the box and did't have the chance to try them out yet. Although they should be CAN-BUS ready as they equipped with resistor.

[@redihoxha2940]

@@mrfixpl if you try that please tell me 😉

[@hugoscars3143]

Hello are this led good? And you dont need Coding?

[@mrfixpl]

I strongly recommend coding, even if you are using so-called CAN-BUS ready LEDs.

[@nickdegroot2445]

@@mrfixpl What is the advantage of coding if there is no canbus warning? I am not able to do coding but I do want to install led's. Which are in your opinion the best ones? I saw a set of Aglint on amazon but also found some cheaper ones on aliexpress. Also, will there be a possibility of short circuit due to the canbus bulb in the normal housing?

[@mrfixpl]

@@nickdegroot2445 Two reasons: 1. Controlled checks for blown bulbs different than for damaged LEDs. With bulbs it sends short voltage pulses to check if the circuit is complete. This pulses are too short to warm up your bulb but LED with pick it up and you will have strobe effect. 2. So called "CAN-BUS ready" LEDs are just regular LEDs with an additional parallel resistor. This resistors only job is to draw additional current to trick the controller that there's a regular bulb connected. So it draws additional power, it generates heat, and if the LEDs is actually damaged you will not get an error on the instrument cluster, because the resistor still draws current like a regular bulb would do.

[@nickdegroot2445]

@@mrfixpl okay thanks really clear explanation. I am thinking of installing philips whitevision halogen or canbus led. To me the most important part is that I will not damage my car in any single way in case something happens. The bulb fault warning is not a problem for me as I will find out soon enough when the bulb doesnt work and just replace it. I also have a lupo and there I installed a led bulb C5W and it overheated the case for some reason. It smelled terrible and the bulb looked undamaged but the case was brown from overheating or short circuit.

[@mrfixpl]

@@nickdegroot2445 Why not go with OEM LED license plate light? P/N: 35D 943 021 A About Lupo, maybe there should be C3W bulb there? 3W instead of 5W.

and how to code with vcds ?

[@peacefrog0521]

@@mrfixpl Hello - I installed the AGLINT LED’s and am attempting coding with OBDEleven per these instructions. I used “40 - Allgemeine LED”. But still have an error. Is there another option to choose? Thank you

[@sadesony]

But why I have error and How to fix that error

[@achraflh9481]

You have to buy the lights with Canbus

[@hoshidakatsumi6088]

Thank you I got easy

[@mussietube9909]

I do the same with leds but i have a dashboard error

[@mrfixpl]

Because control unit is expecting traditional bulb. It check the circuit, not finding one, showing error code. Recode the BCM unit or find LEDs with additional load resistor to trick the unit into thinking that there's a bulb there.

[@poorpoora]

Why doing it?

[@Kmiz.offical]

Looks better

[@superman6679]

🤦🏻‍♂️ Buy the original led’s

[@mrfixpl]

Still those require coding.
