Control Module - LED Rears
« on: 02 March 2011, 12:09 »
Hi all, I want to fit LED rear light to my GTI but have found out (Thanks SteveP) that my electronics control module does not support LED rears  :cry:


Can anyone tell me what module does, a part number would be a start, a part number and a price would be great, a second-hand one for free would be even better  :wink:

Thanks all,


Jim

I will have hopefully have a spare one once I fit my Xenons in a couple of weeks, it supports the rear LEDs as I am running them at the moment.
It does not support front Xenon lights, only Halogen.

I was going to put it on Ebay to see what I could get for it. I think brand new they are about £200

To know for sure you need a VCDS scan if your car is an early 09 plate then it's likely that the module won't support LED rears.

Thanks Jim

I know it wasn't built until late 09 so should be ok?

I think so mate but only one way to know for sure is with the scan.

Just to play devil's advocate, and I am a fine one to talk, I hope all this retro-fitting does not negate price savings you made on the original cost of buying your cars. Fun though. :wink:
