Can I ask a question? Is it possible to fit the pre facelift mk7 LED tails to a facelift? Would a harness/coding be required?

I would think it’s possible but you would need a harness and coding. Not sure if anyone has attempted that yet, and I highly doubt there are any harnesses currently out there that would do that. The connectors are different on the two sets of tails and in theory you would basically need the opposite of the harness we are all using for the facelift tails. Do you like the pre facelift tails better? I’m pretty sure the facelift ones are cheaper and look better IMO.
So just for information purposes:

And just another picture in the dark
I also had to pay duty and tax when Canada post delivered. It was like $160 or something along those lines.
they are super cheap already. Less expensive than the old mk7 LED by a fair bit.
Same for me
Talking about a 235$ harness here. I am NOT paying that bs price.
$99 shipped max.
Not here, and I picked them up from the PO.
The physical install is about a 2. The coding will require VAGCOM cable and following instructions.
All I did was watch the MK7 euro tail light YouTube video by DAP and the video by GolfRDad. Each of these is pretty sufficient in preparing you for the installation of the tail lights and routing of the harness. The specific harness wire pinning instructions are provided in the package by JBale, and they're very clear.About to get mine JBale harness in the mail this week.
Does it come with the physical light install instructions?
Or is there an install guide on the forums somewhere?
Or is the ShopDap video the only one?
How is it in difficulty vs. the folding mirror install?
I'm trying not to let this get out of control time wise by not reviewing the installation guides beforehand like my folding mirror install.
Mine never had that status. Is that still in Latvia?So question for folks in the US. How long did your tracking status showed "inbound into customs" before the status got updated for delivery?
