does dynamic LED tail lights even exist for Sportwagens? i know it's available for GTI/Golf R, but how about us Sportwagens/Alltracks?

I got the DAP MK7 to MK7.5 tail light harness. The instructions and harness left nothing to be desired. Great kit with OEM quality wiring and wire wrap. ??I got the DAP kit. Anyone have much trouble with their harness or instructions?
A harness for the MK7.5 dynamic LED tails doesn't work. You have several options: a) get short adapters for the outer tails to re-arrange the existing vehicle wiring b) re-pin the existing vehicle wiring and modify the existing vehicle plug yourself. In both cases there's some coding to be done. You'll have all NA light functions except for the side markers (EU parts don't have them) and separate amber turn signals.@ZERO815 I have a NA MK7.5 GTI and I got the regular Golf Euro 7.5 outer tails (5G0945095Q & 5G0945096Q) from E-Acca. Does a standard euro tail harness or do I need a different one? I know I need different coding too from what is usually posted on the forums, especially if I want to keep my tailights blinking while I signal.

He actually makes and sells adapters, would for sure recommend himAre you able to direct me to purchase these adapters for option A? I'd rather not mess up the wiring and modify the plugs. Coding isn't too difficult with some direction as I was able to code it so the NA outer tails blink when I signal.
Haha yeah I saw. But I thought he only made it for Euro dynamic tails, not the regular tails like what I have. But if @ZERO815 can make one for me, that'll be great!He actually makes and sells adapters, would for sure recommend him
According to the wiring diagrams I have, it is actually NSL27 that powers the dynamic signals, which is what I am using. 17 powers the pass side inner turn signal.
Here is a simplified wiring diagram I made in paint which shows all connections.

C6 on US cars are the red rear side markers. BK/WH on inner-left slot 7 is rear fog light, US cars don’t have that wire. Furthermore US cars don’t have separate turn signal wires. That’s the reason why you don’t have outer turn signals. Why don’t you grab the outer-turn signal (slot8) from your inner-lights (slot8)? Otherwise you can run three more wires to the BCM to get rear fog, turn signal left and right.I have the same kit as @Makkish , I got the 4 blue 8 pin connectors and repined to instructions provided, same with BCM "C" connector re-pin (swap C9 and C3) - Couple inconsistencies found:
- Inner LH tail light does not have black/white pin that can go into slot 7 (LHD only)
- BCM yellow wire from the kit says it goes into cavity C6, but it is already populated with a black/white wire.
What should I do with the black/white C6? where does that go? I'm getting my meter later this week, so I have not been able to continuity test this.
Anybody else ran into this? MK7.5R US (NAR) spec.
The config for Brakes, and park lamps has been done, and they work fine, only thing not working is outer turn signals. Inner turn signals go dynamic.
