- Swapping all of the halogen bulbs for LED in my MK6 Golf. I have noted each bulb size to help those curious! There is a dash light will be triggered by this upgrade - shown towards the end of the video.
I bought all Sylvania LED's:
Reverse: 7440 - x2
Trunk: 578 x1
Rear Overhead: 2825 - x3
Overhead: 2825 - x2
Footwell: 2825 - x2
Visor Lamp: 6418 - x2

just found your page and now I wanna change my lights on my mk6 also. I really like how in depth and professional it was
I appreciate the support!!
Just found ur channel, absolutely love to see all the tdi content, there is almost nothing on CZcams!! I have also have a mk6 tdi and it’s been so much fun and has given me almost no issues in the past 4 or so months. Just subbed and hope to see more stuff fr
I appreciate the support! I too found there are almost no TDI videos when I first got it. More videos to come! This car is way too much fun to mod lol.
SUBSCRIBED. I bought a MK6 TDI this summer, and started watching your vids recently. I plan to do the GTI exhaust mod myself in the future. You may want to consider getting the OBDEleven code reader (Pro version), or a VAGCOM. This will help with error codes, and all sorts of tweaks. I got the OBD11, since I don't care to change long code stuff. With OBD11, you get user-created "Apps" that do the coding in the background. One-button-click style. Some LED bulbs are CAN-compatible to eliminate the bulb errors. Others require a plug-in adapter to "trick" the CAN to thinking there is no drop in voltage using the LED.
Woah this is really good insight, I’ll check it out!

I dont understand why most car dealers don't do this from factory. Leds look so much better.
100% agreed!
That looks sick man, did you use the soft white LEDs or the Super Bright LEDs from Sylvania?
Thanks man, been enjoying your content on this car. :)
Shoot, I wish I could remember. It was whatever is offered at Advance Auto. I will check next time I am there.
Have you had any issues with the interior lighting, in regards to errors on the dash/lights blowing due to the reduced load required to run them?
Other than the dash light shown at the end of the video, I haven’t had any other issues. The dash light is annoying but the interior lights are definitely worth it to me!
@@AJLoDato22 thanks! How much were your interior lights? They’re are some cheap ones online I’m seeing for around £15, but not sure if they will be suitable
@@Rhysowen5418 I used some very cheap eBay ones on my other cars and they worked great. These are more expensive at about $6 per bulb. Both routes will do the trick.
@@AJLoDato22 I’ll give it a go. Thanks 👍🏻
One question, is sylvania and osram the same thing?
I don’t know if they are the same, but they look really similar
Where you able to fix the warning light issues from swapping the bulbs?
I didn’t fix the light and I haven’t really found a solution yet on how to.
@@AJLoDato22 The VW is tricky. From our research we have developed the only error free reverse. We know that light can be annoying. If you are interested in a set please email Support@deAutoLED.com for a discount. Thanks
And now??
Whats the orange tool used to remove the panel lights?
Trim removal kit from Walmart. Better than using screwdrivers for sure.
@@AJLoDato22 thanks
How did you get the 2825 to fit in the footwell?
I unfortunately don’t have the car anymore. I don’t remember the footwell led specifically.
How do you have 2 reverse lights?
It came like that. I didn’t know others had one 🤷♂️
EU models only have one because there is a rear fog light in the other one. It is not required in US models, so they have two reverse lights
u can code that u have led's now. so u dont get the error
how?

Any solution to the trunk light not turning back on?
I haven’t had that problem. I did have to bend the bracket/bulb retainer clips tighter to hold the bulb better. I had flickering issues.
@@AJLoDato22 had the same issue when I went to close the hatch then open to see if it was off or on, it would flicker
You have to switch poles, just turn it for 180°, that bulb have the + and - difference
