why is mine not flashing when i break it connected the yellow to red and black and whilst its on its just slightly flashing

How did you fit it to the diffuser? I have a bracket but I have no idea how that works 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

Good video. This would have been useful to me 6 mo ths ago when I did mine lol. Had to figure out how and where to run the wire on the USDM car. For those trying this on American golf, if you change the tail lights to euro and code them, wiring it up to plugs won't work. Will only work to the 3rd brake light only.

Ideally if you can get the euro switch that has the rear fog light switch you can write it up to have it on just for those occasions where you need it

So when attaching just so it flashes when you press the brake, you only connect it using the yellow wire?

Nice one, car looks great with that. If wired to the rear fog wiring can it be set to come on the same brightness as brake lights but stay on whenever the fog light switch is on? Cheers 👍

This is exactly what ive been looking for. Assuming that the f1 light is 12 volt? I guess i could just check the amps with a mulitmeter. Thinking of doing this but with a red 12v l.e.d. strip

Thanks! Glad it helped. I believe so, but double check with the multimeter to be safe!

On my car I have wired the yellow one to the red side and the black one to the brown, I haven’t wired the red one as I want the light flashing, however it only works when the light are tuned off if I have my sidelights on the f1 light doesn’t work, can any one help?

Good video bro, ive got a mk7 gti as well and my one constantly flashes even when am driving. Can you help me out

Hi m8! Where did you buy it? Nice and clean job you have done there! Nice tutorial!

Hello Did you have any Problem after installing it?

Great quick vid bro. I want my f1 rain light to come on with my sidelights but my one only comes with a black and red wire and I can only get it to come on whilst braking. Any tips? Looks great on the car btw

Appreciate it bro thank you! Ummm if thats the case it sounds like your positive wire might be tapped into the brake light wire on your car light? Have you used a multimeter to find the correct wire for your sidelight? it should be one that gives you a steady reading when the sidelights on and goes to 0V when its turned off.

Where you find the bracket to mount the light to the bumper

Does your diffuser have a cut out for the light to sit on or Isit actually just sitting on top of the fins of the diffuser? And how

Is it the same on a mk6

Hey man - I hear you - same thing happened to me and blew out some leds. I ended up buying a replacement one, and purchased some waterproof sealant. I rubbed it all around the edges sealing it, and it's been perfect ever since, survived jet washes, rain, snow etc and still working to this day.

Any idea how to make it brighter? Mine is exactly the same but not as bright. Could be because it is angled slightly more downwards?
