Uninstalled Dynablink and some temporary chrome delete to see how will it looks like

Installed fake exhaust chrome bar (to make it look like Highline/SEL)

Very nice.
I like the new fog light area of the Golf.

MK7.5 Dynamic taillights has arrived!

Looking forward to install.
also getting the OEM GTI exhaust tomorrow!

I love the journal title; that is a great color, too! Grats on the ride, looking forward to see what else you do with it!

That chrome delete on the front bumper is a keeper! Looks more aggressive, almost like a R-Line Bumper...

Uninstalled Dynablink...

Can I ask you why have you uninstalled Dynablink? I have it ordered for my(in arrival) Golf R and I'm just curious. Thanks

Love the chrome delete, looks much cleaner this way!

Fake exhaust trim? Are you saying MK7.5 doesn't have an exhaust tip? Can you take a pic of the exhaust? I'm interested to see what VW did. How in the world would one install an aftermarket catback?

Thanks for your support!

The reason why I uninstall is because I have black mirror caps and since the dynablink is very dark and it looks like I dont have a blinker when it's not flashing

I am going to install GTI exhaust soon, I will take picture of it! Stay tuned!

I would personally run an egolf rear bumper and grill then keep the downturns fun messing with people. I love the color.

also put the egolf badge, then will lead to another VW emission scandal lmao.

I also picked up my TSI from Milton VW. Mines a 2017 though. Where’d you end up getting your 7.5 tails from? Excited to see how this goes!

Time to install!

Another day with blue sky (before today's snow lol)
It's time to install these tails

Ready to say goodbye

The rear of MK7 without lights
Cool or creepy?

before coding
(expected as we all know the blinker and brake light are sticked together)

***I couldn't believe I didn't take any pictures of the whole rear after installing these, so I will just use screenshot from my video***

So bright at night

We didn't use the "fishing" tool, but I would say this is not the hardest part. The hardest part for me is to fit the hatch interior trim back to the hatch.
(Yes, I am officially looking for help!)


Next mod: GTI Exhaust on TSI and "Golf TSI" badge delete!

Special thanks: Yuyang from Young's Garage (a.k.a. his home) and JBale for this one off harness (coz this special harness is for mk7.5 to mk7 convertion)

Thanks for reading!

Milton VW gave me an awesome deal
My 7.5 tails are the same supplier from aliexpress, but I got those from it's sister website (Taobao), my friend helped me to pick up and ship it here.

Great color!

The halogens don't even look bad on the facelifts. I like em.

Definitely will have to look into getting the dynamic tails when my car comes in.

Congrats on your new purchase! No doubt that these halogens are better than the non facelifts one, I do think they are brighter.

 

[Bäsemödel]

interested in selling the stock taillights?
