Rear Lights
« on: October 16, 2013, 08:12:27 pm »
evening all, have just noticed that on both rear lights when on, only the inner half of the ring is lit, when braking the outer half comes on, have checked the outer bulbs and everything looks fine, fuses all look ok too.

how can i go about getting the outer ring to light up?

Do you have access to VCDS? If so send me the long coding for 09 central electrics and I will take a look.

I too wanted to try this although I haven't looked into it in too much depth before.
Might have a play on Sat.

I'll message you the details, only noticed it yesterday, on my mrs Gti when the lights are on the whole ring is lit up and when you press the brake both outer lights act as the brake lights.

Yeah that's how it should be. Full ring lights on, then outer part gets brighter when brakes on.

Sorry to jump on your thread Kalpesh, but Matto do you know how to do the full ring brake without getting the "bulb out" error on dash?

Kalpesh - You have PM.

Raz - I don't mate sorry. As far as I'm aware it can't just be done with coding changes.

My coding is

E78F0F0600041800001400001400000000087F075C


(however that was the backup I took before I added the US DRLs at 30%).

Can I get the taillight mod on mine too?

The full rear light as Kalpesh.
I'm pretty sure I tried on my old car, with the brake light as parking light to be a % but nothing changed?  :ashamed:
