There's a harness for Mk7 tail lights and a harness for Mk7.5 (facelift) tail lights. Make sure you get the latter, as the former won't work.

Then there's also the mk7.5 light harness for the mk7's vs the mk7.5 light harness for the mk7.5s haha
Not confusing at all if you've read the last 100 or so pages though

So I got a set of the Chinese MK7.5s for a pretty good price. Uses an unknown cheap harness, but i believe would still work.
Heres the link to what they look like.
Any one have luck with these and coding?

I'm having the same issue.
I purchased my tail lights off USP along with USP's harness and coding instructions. I didn't trust myself so I had a shop install them for me, however when the car isn't on / running, the tail lights aren't dynamic.
Is that Klemme 15 value the same for the USP coding? I've never attempted to change anything on my car as I'm new to this and don't really trust myself. I own the VCDS but haven't used it yet. If someone can walk me through what to do / change that would be wonderful!
Also I apologize for bumping your posts months later.
Yeah mine are dynamic all the time too.
First i'd check that all the coding is correct, maybe they missed something. You could also email USP to make sure their default harness/coding setup is supposed to be dynamic all the time, if not they might tell you the exact value to change and save you some back and forth.
VCDS/OBD11 is easy to use once you get over the initial small learning curve. Just remember to go slow and double check what you're changing is what you want to change before you do it.

With the harness and coding that ZERO815 provided for install on my mk7.5, he gave instructions for how to change the hazard light behavior (as well as locking behavior) from sweeping to just normal flashing. I don't know if his instructions would apply to other harnesses and mk7 (as opposed to mk7.5) but maybe he'll chime in.

a little problem
I've connected my taillights according to ELSA connection for the mk7.5, and made a coding according to my understanding
Everything is working ok (including dynamic turn signals), except a small parasite blinking in standlights.
https://youtu.be/iXIvIqfPZ0g
It happens on the both sides so I believe outer taillight itself is not damaged.
It blinks only if engine is running, standlights are active and I press brake.
If brake is not pressed or it works fine on both running engine or not.
Who can help? Any ideas?
I've temporary disabled standlights when I press brake

Called USP this morning on my way to work, and they told me that the tail lights are only dynamic when the car is on / running. Is this changeable with coding? That's kind of a bummer considering I paid almost a grand for these.

Change Lichtfunktion A28 from “Klemme 15...” to “Klemme30G” that should do the trick.
Klemme15... = ignition on until the vehicle shuts off. Klemme30G shuts also off but wakes up as soon as you press the button on your remote.

Let me guess. Your current Dimmwert AB20 and Dimmwert AB21 are set to 100. Put them to 127.

Hopefully I can figure that out without messing anything up! I'll let you know, thank you very much!

Ok, mr Telepath, thank you very much for your help!
Yes, it was it, I haven't changed dimmwert on the brake channel from 100 to 127 )

I've just tested it. First blink is not dynamic with Klemme 30G. The second one is dynamic on the opening. On closing the car blink is dynamic.
