Installation Instructions Volkswagen LED Taillight
Content:
First: Open the trunk Second: Remove the negative cable from the battery using the 10mm wrench. To get at it you have to remove the panel on the drivers side that holds the first aid kit. Most US cars do not have the kit so it’s just empty inside. You will see a cutout in the trunk liner, give it a tug and you will have access to the rear of the taillight.
Remove ONLY the connector with the 4 large wires. You remove the connector by pulling back on the green tab and pulling the connector out. Some pliers used gently helps on this. You can see the upper 10mm nut in this photo. After removing the upper and lower 10mm nuts you can now pull out the taillight. You will have a hole in your car like this. To install the new light simpily insert it into the hole and snug down the 10mm nuts. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. They only need to be snug. Do not re-install the wiring harness. Do the same to remove and install the passenger side. You will be looking at something like this. To remove the harness squeeze on the tabs on each side of the connector and pull it out.
