These lights are unbelievable. I have to thank DAP not only for the fantastic lights, but also for developing the harness, putting together these amazing videos, and for the OBD Eleven app. And most most importantly, for their unbelievable customer service. I am no car guru. This mod scared the crap out of me. It took me about 4 hours to do it all and once done, nothing was working. I started freaking out. I called DAP and spoke to Paul. When he answered, I said “wait, you are Paul, like TH-cam Paul?!” I told him what was going on and he asked me to take pics of everything and email it to him. He called back after a couple of hours and could tell immediately what was wrong, which thankfully was easy to fix. And boom, gorgeous lights, everything back in place like it was meant to be this way. Thank you so so much. EDIT - a few tips 1. I used the longest cable ties I could find instead of the snake tool and for me I think it was safer as nothing ripped 2. I heated up some of the panels with a blow dryer when putting them back on 3. I watched this video a ridiculous number of times, sometimes seeing the same 10 seconds over and over again
Neehar Gupta how did you get the rear fog to work? I’ve been trying to get help and have had no luck. Also my turn signals don’t follow through to the outer tailights. I’m completely at a lost.
Thank you for these lights, I just bought them and installed them into my 2019 Golf R and I love them. Thanks for this video to help the install and doing the hard work of getting the harness developed. The people behind me thank you as well, as every time I turn or brake, these put on a show.
In cases where you're running the fish tape through areas such as trim or boots where you know you're pulling cables in both directions, you can easily run some sort of pull string through at the same time, which would then allow you to pull the inner-light cable back through for the outer harness, so that you don't have to run the fish tape through twice.
The connector for the driver side inner doesn't connect unless using dremel to rid of ridge that is blocking the connector provided from inserting into oem plug. Again this for inner tail. This is DAP harness. Second one I've had due to first car being totaled.
Will this Harness work with other Facelift Dynamic LED Tail Light? or only the ones that came with? i bought some VLAND for my 2015 and have the halogen Taillight. The Tail Light i have came with mk7 plug but also with 7.5 plug. do i swap it to a Mk7.5 to fit with this harness?
Paul I have installed the lights and used the harness. I have put the blue wire in pin 6 and green in pin 7 and used your app on the obdeleven. I'm not getting the fog lights on. Yes I have the euro switch as well. What should I do???
Here’s the thing don’t get. If US regulations don’t allow dynamic amber turn signals, why doesn’t VW just modify these taillights, so that the turn signal bulb is red instead of amber, and so that the turn signal only flashes, instead of sweeps across? That could definitely be done. Or, they could make it so that the outer brake lights flash in addition to the sweeping turn signal (like is done on some Audi models in the US)??? The reason being, is because the real reason that they took these taillights out, is because they’re cost cutting, and they try to use our regulations as an excuse for the cost cutting. They could put a slightly modified version of these taillights on our cars from the factory if they really wanted to. But nope, instead they decided to put the taillights from the basic Golf on our cars, and this continues with the MK8. That’s probably the most annoying part about buying any VW model, is that you always have to take apart the car and start retrofitting things that the car should’ve came with from the factory.
I installed them back in October 2018. Great little mod on my gti. I have noticed that people use their turn signals more often now. I wonder if it had something to do with my sequentials
Hello I know I’m kinda late but I got the same product and was wondering will they work without the hardness like say I don’t wanna install the hardness yet but just plug them in to use factory style without the turn single etc
@@charle_fg1 I don’t think it will work you have to install the harness for it to light up. It’s got pin connections for the unit to light up and stock lights have bulbs.
@@charle_fg1 🤔 you got me there. This was done before the 7.5 came out. Probably... if yours has the pin connectors already then I think you can plug it and work without the sequential though
I have a mk7.5 and I want to do a mk7 taillight I found a set I really like but they’re all for a mk7 is there a way to do what I want which is mk7 taillights on mk7.5
Just to clarify, to get the sequential turn signals on North American tail lights, all you need is the harness and the coding? No purchase of European tails necessary?
Would like to know this too. I'm assuming with the 2018 led refresh we don't need to replace the taillight. Although I think I read somewhere that when you just change the harness some of the lights don't work.
I'm a nerd for this kinda stuff... but what's the function of the rear fog light? Seems rather insignificant since the tail lights are on already, unless it has some type of "throw" with its' light. Great vid, would like to do this mod!
I replaced my halogens with this kind of taillights. I have a problem, when i press brake padle there is delay between press and light. What should i do?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.... have a SPORTWAGEN version of LED tail lights for pre facelift in your store with all the hardware needed!!!! We are one that left behind and no one sells them... I know there is no dynamic turn signals but at least its a more modern look of LEDs...
Hy, I am watching your vids but I have a question, I have bi xenon on my mk7 2013 but I want those with the U leds, I dont want to remove my xenon though. Is there any unit with u leds which I can use my xenon bulb in it?
Hi Paul, I'm looking into installing these FL lights, I have euro spec LED's installed already from factory and my car is RHD. Would your harness and lights work on my car?
I am curious if you have installed these on a Mk7.5 (2018) north american spec Golf (standard model, not GTI or R). I am trying to figure out how to get amber signals on my new Golf. Thank you.
Do the Mk7.5 OEM taillights in the USA look like that? So do 2018+ Golf R's in the USA come with these tail lights standard or is it only euro 2018+ that gets these?
Is there anyway to put the non dynamic led mk7.5 tailights (lowline) on a normal mk7 model I have a 2016 R and wanted to swap my halogens out for the 7.5 led tails .. cant find any harness for that conversion please message back
How would I explain what the purpose of a rear fog light is to a non-car guy? I usually can't find the right answer other than "It's a european thing".
we dont but take a look here www.amazon.com/Fish-Impact-Electric-Communication-Puller/dp/B0025Z81BS/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1507563529&sr=8-8&keywords=snake+tool
P8ntballa, this mod is bout one of the easiest and most satisfying mods you can do yourself. The only thing that you can eff up is that wire boot thing, so be gentle with that... and it could also destroy your wallet, since this kit cost $1000 for the lights and harness... then another $80 for the OBDEleven for the coding... but also the OBDEleven is soooo worth it for all the other shit it does.

Very comprehensive guide! The tools make this look EASY, I’m so excited for this project!
I purchased this harness. Would be nice to have a diagram for reference
The connector for the driver side inner doesn't connect unless using dremel to rid of ridge that is blocking the connector provided from inserting into oem plug. Again this for inner tail. This is DAP harness. Second one I've had due to first car being totaled.
Dammmmmmm those are the best tail lights on the street/highway
On a 2018 mk7.5 VW-R (US spec) Would you need the new harness or just the new tail light set? OR both....?
Will this Harness work with other Facelift Dynamic LED Tail Light? or only the ones that came with? i bought some VLAND for my 2015 and have the halogen Taillight. The Tail Light i have came with mk7 plug but also with 7.5 plug. do i swap it to a Mk7.5 to fit with this harness?
hey man did you find out if this harness and app works with Vland? I also have 2015
Will this work for the vland tail lights? To get the sequentials to work?
So glad I didn't buy the MK7 euro lights last week and waited. Its going to be a great early Xmas present for myself :)
Oh no why? Is he sold out or just discontinued for like ever?
Selling my newly bought euro lights to get these instead xD
Paul I have installed the lights and used the harness. I have put the blue wire in pin 6 and green in pin 7 and used your app on the obdeleven. I'm not getting the fog lights on. Yes I have the euro switch as well. What should I do???
Question:
Why is there only one rear fog light?
And... when is light activated?
Thanks...
got a 7.5 golf will i need to do this aswell or are the just plug and play ? cuss i have already led taillight ?
Will this fit on a golf 2019 comfort line?
I hope that obd11 updates soon to have an app for your harness
Yes this is coming soon and we will be doing a coding video as well
@@Deutscheautoparts You have video now about coding that lights?
I have 2018 vw golf r mk7.5 North American car do I still need harness?

Can you take the oem taillights off a mk7.5 golf r and do this? Will it work
I'm a nerd for this kinda stuff... but what's the function of the rear fog light? Seems rather insignificant since the tail lights are on already, unless it has some type of "throw" with its' light. Great vid, would like to do this mod!
It’s for visibility in bad weather.
I replaced my halogens with this kind of taillights. I have a problem, when i press brake padle there is delay between press and light. What should i do?
For the euro spec do i need to change harness
Are the audiamant harness this complicated?
Can you put these on a 2017 MK6 Jetta?
Does the lights fit on the variant models?
Why aren't your rear fog lights working properly?
Does it fit on my 2015 brazillian golf tsi that was made in México!?
What about the US mk7.5 tail lights? Would those be easier to install on a mk7 than the Euro mk7.5 tails?
Paul does this fit if I’m trying to retrofit mk7.5 North American tail lights on a mk7?
do they make them for the CC?
Will I need to change the harness too if I have a 7.5 (with the regular tail lights)?
Yes you need a new harness. These are EU spec so a harness is required to complete the install.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.... have a SPORTWAGEN version of LED tail lights for pre facelift in your store with all the hardware needed!!!! We are one that left behind and no one sells them... I know there is no dynamic turn signals but at least its a more modern look of LEDs...

Hi Paul, I'm looking into installing these FL lights, I have euro spec LED's installed already from factory and my car is RHD. Would your harness and lights work on my car?
No it would not
Will this harness work on euro car?
You have to have the European switch up front in order to make the rear fogs work. Correct?
That is the way I understand it.
@Deutsche Auto Parts do they sync up to the front ones and side ?
I am curious if you have installed these on a Mk7.5 (2018) north american spec Golf (standard model, not GTI or R). I am trying to figure out how to get amber signals on my new Golf. Thank you.
+Steven Heuchert we don't have them in the us yet so we won't know more until then.
Looks nice but they don’t have any info about were I can buy them
the links are right in the description
So will these fit in my 2019 Golf R..... If yes I know I need the harness and coding to finish the project
Yes
Can’t wait till I have them in my mk7.
Do the Mk7.5 OEM taillights in the USA look like that? So do 2018+ Golf R's in the USA come with these tail lights standard or is it only euro 2018+ that gets these?
Only Euro Cars have them
Do you have to run a wire for the rear fog or do you just need the euro switch?
Euro Switch
I want these for my brand new 2018 Golf R!!!🇨🇦
great news!!! you can find them here www.shopdap.com/blog/post/facelift-european-dynamic-turn-signal-led-tail-lights-for-mk7-models.html
I got 2018 vwgolf r mk7.5 do I have have harness adapters or I'm ok with just light???
Would I be able to fit this on a 2014 GTI that already has led tail lights?
What tool was that you used to pull the wires though. I need that in my life
Terminal tool
These lights are amazing
Do you guys have the front lights too???
Going to talk about on AskDAP 114
Will you guys be selling the US MK7.5 tail lights? Will they be easier to install than the Euro MK7.5 tail lights?
Check out Askdap 125 we talked about this
The links to get the parts are not working and when I go to the website the 7.5 taillights aren’t there

Is there anyway to put the non dynamic led mk7.5 tailights (lowline) on a normal mk7 model I have a 2016 R and wanted to swap my halogens out for the 7.5 led tails .. cant find any harness for that conversion please message back
golfmk7 forum have users that will make it for you with the coding. I think one of the users goes by zero815
Will these tails work on a mk7 golf sportwagen?
sorry they dont
Will these work on a 2015 Mk7 Golf R?
Yup this is the one you need
www.shopdap.com/mk7-5-facelift-led-tail-lights-with-dynamic-turn-signals-and-dap-harness.html
So what would you recommend for a 2017 R Golf.
You wouldn't need it as they have led drl rear taillights anyways
Do they fit on 2017 alltrack?
No but we are considering offering the ones installed on our Alltrack which are wagon specific.
Hello.. Can I install these Tail lights in a standard version Golf? I have a MK7 1.6
Yes, body styles across the golf line are similar, only difference between gti and the golf, is the power output from the engine, and a few cosmetics
Does this work on 2014 model or only after 2017 ??
The mk7 golf starts in 2015, so 2015 and up will work, this would not work for mk6. Head and tail lights are different
Is it possible to upgrade the headlight too, i have egolf 2018 and does not have the dynamic light assist, only led light came with.
What would be a much more complicated retrofit and is not something we recommend messing with.
How would I explain what the purpose of a rear fog light is to a non-car guy? I usually can't find the right answer other than "It's a european thing".
It makes the rear end more visible in fog or snow to the drivers behind you.
Will this work if you have the LED tail light from factory? (AU market)
Keen to hear the response on this.
No this wont. This is only for the North American cars.
This light need coding ??? If yea how with obd11
+Guillaume Thibault yes needs coding. Video coming on this. Soon
Deutsche Auto Parts Paul i have writing you email for my tune but never you answer !!!
It looks like you emailed us Saturday night when we are closed. Our customer support team will get back with you today as we are now in the office.
How much does the tail lights and the harness cost? I'm curious because I'm looking to upgrade my OEM halogen lights.
Recon527 click the link in the description
Almost 1k lol
Its called a "fish tape" not a "snake", sorry but I'm an electrician, great video like always.
I purchased a mk7.5 but my lights don't look like this. What's the reason?
answer coming on AskDAP 123
Deutsche Auto Parts not sure if it's related but can you talk about why the mk7.5 doesn't have the joker mod in the obdeleven app section
Are they not available on the website anymore

I use a long zip tie when running through rubber boots. I just cut the end off so it's nice and thin.
unfortunately this method not working with european taillights, i will wait until someone tried it on european taillights
Can you please tell me what's the brand of the top tether at 23:16 on the right seat? that will help me a lot & thank you so much for your hard work
So to review... pop lock and drop
The harness should be redesigned to be more durable and less prone to damage from the average DIYer before being sold.
Snake?! Sssnnnnaaaaaaakkkkkkeeeeeee!!!
Luv the lights but damn, that's alot of routing, pinning, etc...I'll have to think about this one mod..🤔
