Hello Everyone,
It's been a while since I last posted on this thread. Before I continue, I just want to give a shout out to
@ZERO815. When I first started this threat, I had purchased the AKD MK7 7.5 Taillights. I reached out to Zero815 for some help. He sent me a diagram and coding. I ordered the parts, but was never able to complete it. I lost my phone and the notes I took to work on this. Then I got distracted. Got married in the Philippines in 2019 and I put this project on the back-burner.
A week ago, I just happened to do a search for AKD MK7 7.5 taillight and found this thread. I was actually trying to find some kind of how-to because I took a chance on AliExpress and purchased an adapter harness for the 7.5 taillights. Well, I found this old thread and was pleasantly surprised to find out you guys made it work. I read all the posts here and on the DIY post by
@Nissanskylinen1. I'm glad to report that my taillights are working properly.
For the record, my car is 2016 Golf S TSI 1.8 purchased in California. Not sure if there is a significant difference compared to the Canadian version. But the instructions provided by Nissanskylinen1 and the coding by Zero815 worked
The next thing I plan to do is get the left reverse light working. Just waiting for the scotchlok. Then after that, going to see if I can get the fog lights to work as well.
I'm in the San Diego area if anyone who wants to try this and is looking for help.
Thanks again.
