[edit] Lighting

Euro LED tail lights: Euro LED tail lights are a common MKV upgrade. Many upgrade because they can offer highly visible amber turn signals as opposed to the stock low visibility red signals. The Euro lights include a rear fog light in place of the driver side reverse light. Mechanically the lights simply bolt into place, but electrically two wires must be swapped in the tail lamp plug in a simple VAG-com change is needed in order to get properly functioning amber signals. There is also the option to run red turn signals as the LEDs are bi-color (both red and amber).

Euro HID/US HID head lights: Euro or US OEM HID replacements are also a common MKV upgrade. Many upgrade because of superior visibility of the HID beam and pattern as opposed to the stock Halogen H7 lighting. This should only be done with OEM or other housings that are designed for projector headlights, otherwise dangerous and illegal lighting conditions will occur. Mechanically the lights simply bolt into place; however, wiring must be connected with 10-12 pin adapters, also additional wiring, OEM Hi-line CECM hardware, and Vag-Com programming, will be needed to add the full HID high beam head light (shutter) functionality.
