When I looked in to it if your car was pre 2010 then a new body controller was required.
For thermos and controller were £850!!!!!
That's the reason I like these after market ones but need the foglamps and reverse lamps in the correct places.

oh well, let me know if you work out how to swap the lights over :smiley:

I've just checked the version of my controller and its not compatible with oem LED lamps.
My cars a September 09
Interestingly from the research it seems that if you have xenons with drls then your controller should be compatible.
I'm back to these ones that need modified and awaiting feedback for when they arrive.

Just a quick update for you guys, my new rear led lights arrived today  :smiley:
I quickly fitted them at lunchtime break, they are plug and play, and manufactured by depo  :smiley:
I havent done the fog and reverse light swap as yet but hope to over the weekend, the quality and fitment of the lights is spot on, colour wise there a dark cherry which compliments the candy white paint.
Ill post up some pix soon...

Sorry if this has been answered before but after reading a LOT of rear LED posts I'm still confused. I'm just about to pickup my June 2009 golf gti and want to put rear LEDs on. Am I correct in that I would have to upgrade the BCM if I used the genuine VW parts it if I went with the depo ones I would just needed make sure they were the fog ones and after fitting them with the adapters I would have to recode the VCDS?
