Rear lights replacement.
« on: 06 August 2022, 10:50 »
Hi all

I have a set of tinted rear lights on my mk6 and I want to change back to standard instead of peeling all that awful tint off them, are the rear lights on a GTI the same as all other mk6 golfs?

Thanks.

Yes 2009 - 2012. Originals are Hella and non-LED. Need rhd ones for fog and reversing lights. LED ones need coding.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.

I'm not sure but iirc the 2009-10 standard GTI non led lights are slightly darker than non GTI ones.

GT and GTI/D (non LED) are slightly darker.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

If this helps in your search, here are the part numbers from my 2009 Mk6 GTI's rear halogen lights.  It's a right hand drive (UK) car.

Driver's Side Tail Light: 5K0 945 258
Driver's Side Tail Light (Boot Hatch): 5K0 945 260
Passenger Side (Boot Hatch): 5K0 945 259
Passenger Side Tail Light: 5K0 945 257


I upgraded from the above lights to OEM LED Dark Cherry Rear LEDs (upgraded my BCM at the same time to ensure compatibility due to it being an early Mk6).

Mk8 GTI Clubsport | Pure White | DCC | Black Estorils | HUD | a fair few options

Previous: Mk6 GTI | Candy White | Manual | DCC | Dynaudio | Cruise | Winter Pack | Lux Pack | Rear Camera & F/R Parking Sensors
