Hello everyone!

I'm going to keep it snappy.
I drive an old Golf MK7 1.2 TSI from 2013 that i'm looking to freshen up a bit by changing the rear lights, currently the car has the original halogen lights (see below)

and i'm looking to change them for a set of these (these are also original, see below)

I already have the cable adapters but i just want to make sure that these don't cause a short because the source i got them from well... is china..
So my question is: does anyone have pin diagram for the old lights and for the newer ones shown above?
I've added some more info/pictures of the newer lights down below.

In case these pics decide not to show up (as is the case some times on forums)
here are the product codes:

Outer Left - 5G0.945.095.Q
Inner Left - 5G0.945.093.AG
Inner Right - 5G0.945.094.AG
Outer Right - 5G0.945.096.Q

Whoever manages to point me in the right direction and help me out i will donate 10 euros (12 USD) to your paypal account for your effort.

Thank you for your time!
Highly appreciated!

That's a pretty simple task.

Each running light (Pin4 of 8pin connector) of the outer tails needs to be connected to each inner tail running light (green wires on my pic). Therefore you have two options:
1. You can connect a 0,5mm² wire to each inner tail light and run it through the hatch grommets to each outer tail
2. Behind the driver side C-Pillar the main wiring runs up to the hatch door wiring. Out of all white wires you could identify (Multimeter) the two wires that go to the hatch door running lights left and right and connect the wires there too.

Does that make sense?

Here are the coding changes:

Does everything work except for the fault? Can you share the current coding of Leuchte21 please? Especially what is the value for Lasttyp21?
