For the front lights, I was struggling to put the reflector on after the LEDs. But if you put the reflector on first you can fit the LEDs in pretty easily
Boom! Just installed mine. Got my mk6 Jetta 6 days ago and the LEDs from USP Motorsports work great NO GHOSTING yet. True test will be tonight! I wish I got the plastic tool though.
I just did all interior and trunk lights on my 17 Jetta GLI including footwell lights. I just removed the lens covers to replace the Center front and center rear and nothing broke. All the other one's come out easy enough. You went the hard route.
Thanks for the insightful video! Even though it took you like 10 minutes, my dad and I spent an hour and I ended up bending one of the map lights. Luckily the glove box LED worked but isn't the same shade. :-(
Bought the kit and just installed. All went pretty smoothly except getting the new LED’s in the reading lights in the front cabin. Each one of those LED connection points are barely larger than the factory bulb making it a tad difficult to get the seated into the connection point. Other than that, this kit along with this video are great.
I bought the full package & replaced all interior lights. Major improvement to the interior lighting! But. I have an extra 42mm festoon left over after all the replacements. Is that intentional?
Ie. Doors closed the rear dome will be glowing slightly. If changed to the off position. The front dome lightly glow instead until switched to the off position. So it won't allow the doors open feature without the f or r domes being partially on
I just purchased my kit. For a 2013 autobahn. What's the secondary festoon heated shielded looking led bulb for? I bought the entire package... Plus is it normal for the leds to be lightly illuminated in door mode.
The dam 194 wedge map lights suck. Any brand of led has a hard time fitting. I actually pushed the socket up into the overhead console trying to get them in.
I just bought a new 2014 GLI and would like to change all the bulbs to LED inside. I live in Canada and can't find the bulbs you are using. Will you send them to Canada if ordered.
when i removed the rear dome light and opened it up to replace the bulbs, i couldn’t get it snapped back together without the switch knob loosely turning. did i break it or am i not putting it back together right?
on my 2007 jetta the only ones that dont work are the driver and passenger underneath, i have tried to flip them and even replaced them for the originals but still none of them work any suggestions on this issue?
I was able to get the front lights in but when I got to the back lights they wouldn’t work and then the front ones stopped working too :( I have a 2016 jetta tsi can someone help me please 😞😞😞
Very doable. But take your time. You are dealing with plastic. Do not recommend a flat head at all. Buy the right tools. You'll be happy you did. I have a 2013 Jetta tdi. Similar process to what is shown.
I can't remember. But I got a fuse tester with a LED in it so you can test the fuses without removing them. It was a fuse in the fuse compartiment beneath the stearing wheel.
+Arcadias1595 I have the same problem..lights are always on even when keys are out ..I flipped the lights around and still continue to glow slightly I don't know what to do
This cars dome and map lights are cancer. I broke both with proper tools and still didn't even get them done. Dealer is replacing everything now. 12 year old engineering with thin less than dollar store plastic quality. And this is on a 2016 mk6 with 1k miles.
What you are experiencing is called "ghosting." This is NOT suppose to happen. I have the same issue and USP has yet to respond. There is a fix on vwvortex; Google search: mk6 jetta interior LED ghosting (Use the second link).
The lights in the front middle do not fit, they are too big. They plug in and work, however you can't put the reflector back in. Expensive waste of money, I am very disappointed.

Im having issues with the rear dome lights when i changed the leds, you how on the roof you have the plastic white piece that makes the rear light dome stable, mine came off so when i clip it back it doesnt stay still its pretty annoying.
Jeffrey Aristy I had that happen on mine. I used some foil tape in a hurry on the inside to hold it down, but some 3m weatherstrip adhesive would be better and I plan to use that next time I'm in there.
Jeffrey Aristy no not the double sided tape, but the real foil tape they use for ducts now. That's what I'm using temporarily. The good stuff is 3m yellow weatherstrip adhesive. It's in a tube and resembles a thick contact cement. Be very careful with it, you might want to apply it with a small artists brush. I use this stuff everywhere, it even doubles as a blue locktite, or I've glued nuts into sockets for tight areas and a lot more. Heck I've even glued 2 pieces of aluminum roof flashing together with it ,overlapped a few inches for the glue joint. Read the directions, but basically apply it on 1 surface, it holds ok. But for some real strength apply it to both pieces and let dry and put together. Most auto parts stores carry it. Squirt it out on a coffee can lid and watch it, it can get stringy. Play with it on a few other items before tackling that delicate roof surround. Here's a link but you should be able to find it at most automotive box stores. www.amazon.com/3M-08001-Yellow-Weatherstrip-Adhesive/dp/B000HTNNDA

Facts bro just figured this out 😂
I just slightly bent the light sockets down a bit and the reflector slid right in

No ghosting! Thanks Gregg at USP I followed your instructions. You made it look easy though. The fronts where the hardest to get at.
nice video.. I've already done this to my 00 vw jetta and my 98 vw jetta... :)) really improves the car look saves power supply

Love the in and out focus when you can only see the bulbs for half a second. Great camera skills. (sarcasm)
Ie. Doors closed the rear dome will be glowing slightly. If changed to the off position. The front dome lightly glow instead until switched to the off position. So it won't allow the doors open feature without the f or r domes being partially on
Yes they will! You can get them at uspmotorsports . com
Great video, guys. Thanks for the visual guidance.
Yes we do!
I just purchased my kit. For a 2013 autobahn. What's the secondary festoon heated shielded looking led bulb for? I bought the entire package... Plus is it normal for the leds to be lightly illuminated in door mode.
Супер круто супер джетта! Super man! Super WAG! From RUSSIA with love! )
What temperature is this cause i wanna get matching license plate leds and headlights
The dam 194 wedge map lights suck. Any brand of led has a hard time fitting. I actually pushed the socket up into the overhead console trying to get them in.
i also have a 2013 jetta gli autobahn and i have no idea where i get these items
Hi there. I have a 2011 Jetta SE, will these work for my car also? if so, where can I get them?
Have a great day
Do these throw on any codes. I have a 2013 gli Autobahn
What if you have a sunroof? I’m trying to take off the clear cover beacuse I have dead bugs in it 😑
I just bought a new 2014 GLI and would like to change all the bulbs to LED inside. I live in Canada and can't find the bulbs you are using. Will you send them to Canada if ordered.
I have an mk6 Jetta SEL but I have a knob for my sun roof. is the process the same?
Elliott Pew it's pretty much the same .. I just installed LED's in mine ..
Muy buen video amigo y de mucha ayuda GRACIAS !
Do you have any video where you explain how to uninstall the domo? I need to change it because mi brother broken it.
Great video. Thanks!
when i removed the rear dome light and opened it up to replace the bulbs, i couldn’t get it snapped back together without the switch knob loosely turning. did i break it or am i not putting it back together right?
Very helpful your video, thanks.
what about the same car with sunroof knob? I tried and tried and the cover would not come off.
Now im worried
on my 2007 jetta the only ones that dont work are the driver and passenger underneath, i have tried to flip them and even replaced them for the originals but still none of them work any suggestions on this issue?
Do the bulbs stay dim.. I bought some but the bukbs never really turn off
Mr1234shay They should turn off, not sure what’s wrong with yours
Mine does that too
Perfect video. Thanks.
Thanks dude, really helpful!
What size are the back seat light bulbs ?? Not sure what their actually called..
do you know how to install the Full LED light? the one that has LEDs in the middle as well?
what size festoon bulb on the rear dome light?. on a 2016 jetta.
Really good this Video [LIKE] 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Can ya'll do a guide to convert the side mirror lights into LEDs?

@uspmotorsports does this kit fit the 2016 GLI?
I was able to get the front lights in but when I got to the back lights they wouldn’t work and then the front ones stopped working too :( I have a 2016 jetta tsi can someone help me please 😞😞😞
Do MKVI's not have footwell lights anymore?
can i get a different color LED's ?
luch thompson yes on amazon
They don't. Any kits we offer are error free!
Very doable. But take your time. You are dealing with plastic. Do not recommend a flat head at all. Buy the right tools. You'll be happy you did. I have a 2013 Jetta tdi. Similar process to what is shown.
What does the wire in the glove box compartment do? I have the same wire but it isn’t connected. Can someone please help👍 8:43
XxXbullseyeXxX Gaming That should be the phone charging cable. I think they only have it for Apple and Android phones
I made a short circuit to the dashboard led. Now all the LEDs are no longer working.
Which fuse is broken?
I did this as well today which fuse ended up being out?
I can't remember. But I got a fuse tester with a LED in it so you can test the fuses without removing them. It was a fuse in the fuse compartiment beneath the stearing wheel.
Peter van der Horst never mind I found out it was the f6 inside the interior fuse box. Thanks for the reply though
Heeey! My leds don't turn off, they are slightly lit.... why!!!! D:
Did you try flipping around the map lights?
+Arcadias1595 I have the same problem..lights are always on even when keys are out ..I flipped the lights around and still continue to glow slightly I don't know what to do
yu need canbus leds throughout the car not just regular led
I broke the vanity lens and the bulb flew behind the socket :(
what is the name of this blue "tool" you use?? where can i buy it? url or something like that ☺☺
u dont need it just use a flat head screwdriver
This cars dome and map lights are cancer. I broke both with proper tools and still didn't even get them done. Dealer is replacing everything now. 12 year old engineering with thin less than dollar store plastic quality. And this is on a 2016 mk6 with 1k miles.
same I broke the rear knob so I have to use a needle nose plier to turn it off
Bob Jabroni yup same here, i told the dealer it fell apart in a passengers hands and they replaced it free
No before and after?!?
What you are experiencing is called "ghosting." This is NOT suppose to happen. I have the same issue and USP has yet to respond. There is a fix on vwvortex; Google search: mk6 jetta interior LED ghosting (Use the second link).
On the jetta all you do is pop off the clear screen covering the lights for the front. Dont follow this if you dont have a gli
No they do not
so overpriced.
The lights in the front middle do not fit, they are too big. They plug in and work, however you can't put the reflector back in. Expensive waste of money, I am very disappointed.
David Loeser I slipped the reflector under the lights. Don’t ask me how, but you’re right, the LED map lights are too long

Why? What you don't explain is WHY you are installing this. Is it for brightness? Is it for the 'cool' factor?
+Hans Schweikert The stock oem lights suck it's pretty simple.
Why does he need to explain it? Pretty simple, better lighting and longer lasting! No Brainer
all of the above?

Will these work on a 2011 Jetta 2.5 SE?
Jose Montenegro Did you ever try them out? I have the same question.
