This video helped me out with my Polo 2019. The dome light and front lighting inc vanity lights were very similar. The trunk light was another thing; taking it out was easy but the bulb is inside a compartment with a metal shroud around it. it is thin metal and once removed carefully you can change the bulb to the LED. Thanks again 👍👍
For the rear lights, pry underneath the *length,* not the width. Prying it underneath the width makes the whole process more difficult than it should be and it increases the chances of you *puncturing the headliner* (which I just did).
It’s possible to install a light inside the truck (maybe somewhere in the right, under that retractable cover, similar with the position in Hatchback Golf)? With the current one (on the roof) you need to fully retract the cover in order to see something in the back of the truck and that’s a bit annoying. Any Ideas?
Funny you ask that. I'm planning to add some light in the trunk as well for the same reason. Sure, you can install additional lights and wire them to the one in the roof. You can also add one under the trunk floor. I think once it gets warmer outside I will make such modification and a tutorial for it.

My dome lights are not turning on automatically when i am removing key or unlocked vehicle and opening door, any suggestions what went wrong or any settings got messed up? It is working fine when i click button manually after sitting inside. Mine is vento 2011 highline.
It‘s quite okay to replace the original Light Bulbs with LED‘s. In the Golf 7 of my Sister and my Nephew I replaced them with the complete original VW LED-Interiorlights from the Highline-Models. It costs more of course but they are original and look better. You can’t replace the integrated LED in case they are blown, but this is very unusual.
Good One!! Mine came with led interior lights, except the boot, and the glove box. I've changed the boot light to led, but it will stay always on (very weak), unless the car is locked. Do you had the same issue??
@@mrfixpl i saw it few weeks ago on youtube but i had no time to save it and now i cant find it anymore and bcuz you know so much i tought you know also. Anyway, thank you and have a nice weekend too. 🤝🏻
Changed all interior lights as per video. Great instruction! When I want to adjust the lights in the Car-menu the LED's are not responding (continue max. brightness). Do you have a solution for this? Thank you!
@@mrfixpl With the halogen (blue) lamps this was possible. Synced with the dashboard lights and adjustable through the CAR-menu - interior lights. Now only dashboard is dimming. The LED's changed (handglove, roof liner, trunk etc.) are Aglint led and stay 100%. Should these be coded to LED as all exterior lights?
@@rwilliam17 To be honest I have never seen something like that in Golf MK7. Sure - dashboard, footwell, door ambient lights - can be adjusted from the Car > Interior Lights menu. But trunk/roof/glovebox? It is operated from BCM but never seen any reaction from these lights to user settings. Do you have some more details? Is your car modded? Are you first owner? Is there a separate slider in the Car menu for these lights? Can you make a video of it working?
@@mrfixpl I want to run a dashcam cable from front via the roof using the interior lightning mounts to rear . I have not seen this yet. Do you think this is possible? Will the cable rest on the inside (cable visible when looking up from the inside)? And do you as an expert know how to open the HBA camera (not DLA or LA or ACC). I can't find a tutorial... Can you please help.. Thanks!
What I dont like about this LED is that turn on and off immediately without nice transition original had. I know it is different technology but probably there are some LEDs that can work this way. If anyone knows send the links 🙂
Yeah, LEDs have instant reaction and if one want the fade-in / fade-out effect it needs to be programmed on the cars side. Will investigate it some more.
@@mrfixpl yes, that would be nice and classy. Because some led, especially leds with lot blue tint in it like from ebay look really cheap and instead od nice, modern, classy interior you get cheap tuning looking car
Exterior lights are monitored and if you swap traditional bulbs with LED you will need to change coding of the BCM to let the module know that it should diagnose this circuit expecting LEDs over there. You can go with so-called CAN-BUS LEDs but they will produce extra heat and can cause strobe effect when diagnosing the circuit.
Hey guys ive replace my front reading lights to LEDs with ease however with my rear reading lights i cant seem to get the original blue bulbs out. Anyone got any solutions?
My one was Cambus led light, and after door closing remains dimmed position, so not turned off completely.. I was try many leds without luck.. So i went back to halogen

I stuck in the same situation in my 2023 polo, thanks to you I did it
Incredibly helpful video, thank you!

Thanks for the video man. Installed mine easy peazy because of this. Smooth operator!
Exactly what I was looking for. My 2021 Golf has the same lighting system. Thanks.
Happy to help!
Thanks! Easier than i thought. Doing this tomorrow on my mk7 combi.
Hey man , thanks for the video. What would be the procedure to replace the halogens on the plates?

Thanks. Same on Polo luckily :D
Thanks for the video. What type of lamp is used to replace the glovebox light? C5W as the trunk light? Thanks
W5W T10

Actually I've replaced mine with the highline OEM ones few months back. Got them 2nd hand for $15 total (front + back).
That ist very cheap, indeed. I bought them as good as new via eBay and have paid about € 65 for both Incl. the Switch for the Sunroof.
@@thomaskahle9978 When you say incl. switch for the sunroof, was this one illuminated as well?
Which bulbs are they you are using ?
Please let me know
I’ve been using Aglint LEDs but now I switched to OEM LED interior lights. There was a factory option for that in Mk7 (and other VAGs).
Good One!! Mine came with led interior lights, except the boot, and the glove box. I've changed the boot light to led, but it will stay always on (very weak), unless the car is locked. Do you had the same issue??
Try using LEDs with resistors (so called can-bus ready)
@@mrfixpl thanks for the tip!! By the way, it's not possible to solve the problem using OBDEleven?
I might be wrong but I don't think so.
@@mrfixpl thanks for your time and tips!!
Cześć. Podrzucisz jakieś sprawdzone rurkowe Ledy do wnętrza golfa mk7 lift? Dzięki i pozdro
Najlepsze co możesz zrobić, to wymienić lampki na fabryczne w wersji LED.
HHi, do you know how to code trunk light to have light only in the trunk en not in all the auto when i open it please?
As far as I know there's no code for it.
@@mrfixpl i saw it few weeks ago on youtube but i had no time to save it and now i cant find it anymore and bcuz you know so much i tought you know also. Anyway, thank you and have a nice weekend too. 🤝🏻
Hi, I'm planning to do this next days. How are these after a year, still work?
Working. But considering getting used OEM LED lights instead of LED bulb replacements.
I removed the complete rear one,just couldn’t find the clips to remove the casing
Good job!
they are canbus right?are they hot?
Not hotter than standard bulbs.
@@mrfixpl is fitting hotter maybe?
Do yoz have any link of the 42mm c10w bulb?

As far as I know interior lights (ones in the roof liner) are not adjustable.

Hi, i've installed led lights but when i turn them off they remain on but dimmed, is this possibly because they are not canbus? Thanks!
Yes correct! you need canbus or add some resistors.
My one was Cambus led light, and after door closing remains dimmed position, so not turned off completely.. I was try many leds without luck.. So i went back to halogen
