VW Golf Mk6 GTI How to Install Sequential Tail Lights
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I will show how to install led sequential tail lights in a MK6 Volkswagen Golf GTI. I will show in detail how to remove the trunk hatch panels, and how to run the wires from the light on the body to the lights on the trunk hatch. This should be applicable to the GTI's from 2010-2014.

FYI.......If you flip the brown and white wire on the left(driver side) hatch light you will get proper duel white reverse lights.
