I found it easier, on my GTI MKV, to use the tool, remove the trim just forward of the eyeglass container, just aft of the moonroof dial. Two torx screws removes the light assembly. Disconnect the light cable by pressing in small tab, carefully pull the connector for the sunroof cable. After that just half turn each light holder, pull lights out, install L.E.Ds. Before reinstalling fixture, plug in light connector and test. Sounds complicated, but only took me under 5 minutes. Ask Dap has a dome removal and install vid. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ-Ynmxsq7V7nbc

You can find these led's for pennies on the dollar at aliexpress or any chinese ship product... theyre all made in china anyway.. I bought 12+ bulbs for my whole GTI for like 8$ lol

[@FlorinCalisthenics]

Led flickering ?

[@scooterbroskis]

Are the led's polar sensitive?

[@garyburchell2979]

Yes

[@freddymedina7430]

How do you know which ones to use for each different space?

[@BernardLopez]

Appears to be much easier to replace these lights than I originally thought. Thanks for posting a great DIY video!

[@thetrueMercergaming]

Passenger side one on the Mark 5 is not on the right side it's just broken mine

[@Leonhartsberger]

you smashed the foot light cover!

[@freddymedina7430]

Aren't you supposed to used gloved when installing those? Like won't the oils of your finger make them burn faster ?

[@garylee9240]

I'm confused. On the website you have a picture of the 5-LED (4 surround, 1 down) for the dome lights but in this video you are installing a 194 with only 1 downward facing LED. So which one is it that you sell with the kit?

[@JustAlb1n]

best way to take the front ones off is if you unscrew the whole light off not the way you did it someone is gonna end up breaking that plastic.

[@rol3ertz]

Hey guys I did all of the lights like you showed and it worked fine on my 2008 gti. Once I tried the trunk causes I had left over bulbs since I didn't do the door lights all of my lights stopped working. Is it because I blew the fuse or shorted a circuit out?

[@mmelicele]

I have the same issue, have you received a solution?

[@davidmorales60535]

Now we are 3

[@aspluvsnmn]

Most likely a fuse, happened to me before and thats all it was, one of the fuses inside the car

[@Szecsee1994]

Ive got the same problem. When i was fitting the rear light it just all went and not come back since... i had the front ones in already working

[@lewisbrackley6126]

i can confirm after using his method to change the front reading lights it is not the easiest way, if you dismantle is slightly more where the vented areas are you will see a pair of torqx screws, undo these then pull the unit out and unplug it and then remove the bulb holders by turning them 90 degrees either clockwise or anti clockwise i cant remember. because i done it his way and not the way i have just explained, i broke on of the bulb holders trying to push the bulb in.

[@athenaa5384]

Does anyone know where i can get the plastic part that looks like it has two screens at? Mine swung open while driving a few days ago and wont close, looks like the tabs that hold it in are broken

[@s9523pink]

Try ECS TUNING. or do a search online for Rabbit/ GTI/ Jetta forward dome light trim.

[@justinandgbishop9130]

Do not buy from these guys. They take your money, lie about their inventory, lie about the shipping date and won't make good on the purcahse.

[@paNicRELL]

To add to my complaint... I just found the same bulbs on eBay and I can buy 100 ultra red LED lights for 30$ free shipping. I paid like 18$ for shipping. Complete rip off. Do not buy these bulbs.

[@RicoRattina]

Where do you get one of those pry tools?

[@paNicRELL]

I hate to leave a bad review but I bought the standard LED Kit in Red and within 4 hours of somewhat constant use one of the bulbs broke in half inside the fixture. Idk if it melted but I would expect a much more sturdier quality if I'm paying 25$ for 5 little bulbs.

[@uspmotorsports]

What you see on our website is what comes in the kit. The lights in the video have been replaced by the new, more reliable LED

[@nixxxon18]

I dont quite like LED interior lights, I think its type of light is only good for the exterior, because they're very shiny but they dont really lighten that much. Only useful for number plate lights, tail lights, day running lights and that kind of stuff.

[@markomarkovski6809]

I wanted to ask how the footwell lights are activated? for example door ligts are activated when i open the door, and deactivated then the door is closed. my golf 5 does not have fabric footwell lights and i baught led to install them, but I do not know how and ehre to conecct them?

[@Manpreetkairhe]

hey buddy, can you make a video for VW jetta's light and please provide the link to but that kit. thanks

[@FlorinCalisthenics]

Led flickering ?

[@MrHubert09]

Can they be any interior lights or do they have to be Golf compatible like f.e. the side lights?

[@rmsb1984]

Please do a tutorial on how to remove pillar trim for Jetta 2015 (NAR)

[@AdiN77]

I do not know prefect SKZ English ... and, therefore, I used google translate

[@OFDCLK]

Everything is done with “we will go ahead”

[@VWGTI2013]

Would this cause the sensor light to turn on the MK6 GTI?

[@iplaybose]

at 6:10 How many mm are those c5w bulbs ?

[@giwrgosmakris5065]

you have no idea how the protective strip photons

[@cdod1000]

[@Stationwagoonz]

[@LowkeyBone8]

[@VWGTI2013]

Is this the same way for the MK6 GTI?

[@WolfnWool]

[@BOSSACARE]

[@freddymedina7430]

BOSSACARE do you mean the lights in your feet?

[@ledmk2]

Nice

[@prvalos]

What about the TRUNK light "there"...?!?!?

[@XDeathlyTurtleX]

Do you need a LED load resistor module for the footwell lights?

[@Batner112]

no the footwell doesn't need an specific Canbus typed LED the bcm doesn't check it, so its not necessary!

[@ryassermahmood4516]

Nice video Were can you that blue tool from?

[@sinanozcan8541]

[@STR8SHOOTER1000]

[@stevenkilvington5617]

Yoha Kuznetcov Diy is do it yourself

[@STR8SHOOTER1000]

Thanks for the quick reply!

[@boostednick]

Just tried installing this kit, the 5 bulbs for the front and rear dome lights don't all fit. They work in the rear dome lights but are too thick to go into the front map light sockets. They're also not the same ones as in this video. All other bulbs do work though and are bright. They just need to go back to the original bulbs in this video for atleast the front map lights and the kit will be solid.

[@lewisbrackley6126]

i can confirm after using his method to change the front reading lights it is not the easiest way, if you dismantle is slightly more where the vented areas are you will see a pair of torqx screws, undo these then pull the unit out and unplug it and then remove the bulb holders by turning them 90 degrees either clockwise or anti clockwise i cant remember. because i done it his way and not the way i have just explained, i broke on of the bulb holders trying to push the bulb in. the reason yours don't fit mate is because this guy has tried to make it shorted by not removing the front reading light unit and if you do so you can access the back of it and easily pull out the bulb holders and slot them back in no problem. hope this helps.
