All,

So this will be my first post in this thread after reading (scanning) all posts... al lot, but fun.

So first off all great news that this upgrade is possible since I really like the new tails and I can sell my current MK 7 LED tail:).

Basics are clear, parts, harness and coding.
- parts its clear for me, already ordered them via CAR245:)
- Coding should be doable, once I got them.
- Harness, apparently JBale don't make them for EU and only option is
from Audiamant.

265EUR for that harness looks a bit high (I guess) so I taught why not make it our self, I don't see any discussion about this yet.

We have
- 8 connectors (8 the same?-->1k8972928)
- some wires, 5 colors (20 awg = 0,5^2 flexible
- a bit of electronics, probably some resistors and capacitor

So the last part is a bit uncertain so that would be the challenge, When I look at the picture of Crild it doesn't look very complicated right?

Anyone interested and have some additions?

Spotted a GTI with 7.5 taillights on my way home from work today. They look way better in person than on the forums! I retract my "JDM" statement fully!

Update to this: after days of emailing Cars245 back and forth, they said they'll cover the cost of a replacement + shipping it over to me.

Here's to another 2 weeks of waiting, and hopefully the replacement will be good. [/url]

Another update on the chipped light replacement from Cars245, if anyone's interested (in case the same thing happens to you):

On August 1st, they said they'll get the replacement formed and ordered, and they'll keep me updated with a tracking number in their 7-10 day processing time. I realized last night (August 10) that they haven't gotten back to me at all, and I've been too busy during the weekdays to remember to follow up like I did when I first bought the lights.

I emailed them last night for a follow-up, and they got back to me this morning:

"Sorry I found an error where the replacement was formed but wasn't ordered - I will make sure it is prepared asap.

Will send with express courier so it would arrive faster.

Should get a track within 5-7 business days."

Now, I'm not mad b/c I was impatient and installed the light with a chip last weekend anyway lol. But if I really couldn't/didn't want to install my current set, then I guess I'd be a bit annoyed at having to wait even longer to do the install.

That sucks, I'm surprised the chip even happened with all their packaging, maybe it occurred before they even sent them out. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.

That's funny, the same thing happened to me when I tried to order connectors from them...

This is the response I got after checking in two week after I sent payment.

"I apologize, I found an error - your payment got mixed up with others and the order wasn't formed automatically.

I will form it now. Handling time 5-8 business days + delivery 2-3 business days with dhl express - would this work for you? "

There is no doubt that E-acca has the superior customer service.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it happened either during their packaging or when it was shipped to them.

Jeremy your not the only one. LOL! I got exactly the same response. They told me my lights should ship out on July28-31. Aug 1 i emailed them, they told me tracking will be updated that same day.

Guess what, Aug 7 i gotta ask for a tracking and they said its been shipped and gave me a tracking. I later found out they forgot about my lights till i asked about it. Actual shipping was Aug 8. :) AWESOME SERVICE!
