The best mod is a cheap mod. Or is it? There are several versions of these tail lights for the MK6 GTI, but are the cheapest ones the way to go? Let's install these VLAND Sequential Tail Lights and find out!

They look good blacked out like that against the white! I guess I'll need these after I finish stage 2 install. I got my turbo last week and the downpipe and other goodies show up today!! Thanks for a great video :)
Definitely grabbing a pair of these for my mk6. Looks good

They really do!
My main concern with these LED sealed lights is how hard it is to repair them if they break, not as easy as an normal bulb

I’ve had mine for almost 2 years no, with no issues

I’ve had mine for about two years and just replaced 1/4 of the lights because the LED’s were messed up with their colors.
I bought some this past summer from the Vland website and it was very easy to install. There were no wires I had to splice, and the little control boxes from the outside lights also came on the trunk lights so it was just a wire from the body to the trunk. The website and amazon were both $250 when I bought them from the website

@@deelzzcs no they work great. If you are trying to look at the fitment, up close it’s not the greatest but you don’t notice it unless you’re looking for it. But other than the fitment being a little off they work great

OEM euro led tails are a lot easier to install. Only problem is price and availability. New they are 1150 stock is limited used they usually go for $500 of you can find them on forums

I have a White MK6 Base Golf and was really worried about how the smoked would look before this! For the sequential mirrors where did you get those? And any installation video on those

My bad forgive me… I found your video on the mirrors 😅
Is the Braille battery so weak that it will die with just a few seconds of testing the lights? I know those things are lightweight but I thought they had more juice than a standard wet battery too, and you can run the lights on a standard battery for quite some time before it dies. I know this is a taillight video but I’m interested in those Braille batteries, they seem like black magic. Lol
What did you do for the rear vw badge insert I’ve been looking for a color match insert for my mk6 but I can’t find any anywhere, love the gti!

Truth be told, it ain't a perfect match. I just pried the badge off and put down some white vinyl wrap I bought on Amazon. And thank you!
I can't get mine to work right. They turn on and everything works fine till I hit my breaks all driving lights go out. But the brake n turn signal work. I turn them off n then back on the come on till I hit breaks. Can someone give me an idea
What is the thing that gets hot? And is it dangerous? Fire etc.
Do you need to code these after installing?
Nice job! Can u give me the link of it?
Why does the black box with the m3 strips gets hot? And is it dangerous?

It's a Canbus decoder. Basically a little computer to translate the cars signals for proper communication with the lights. They're not dangerous if they're made properly and installed in a space large enough for passive airflow.
Great looking lamps. But I am interested in the quality since it is a Chinese product?

There's definitely a few quality issues like the fitment and wiring, but the materials feel pretty good and other's have said they're still going strong light wise even after a few years.
