A recent project saw us retrofit a genuine OEM LED contour light strip into the radiator grille of a VW Golf 8. This upgrade was not just about adding style—it was about achieving flawless integration with the vehicle’s lighting system. All components used were genuine Volkswagen parts, and the system was coded directly to VW servers, ensuring full compatibility and error-free operation.

Key Benefit: Distinctive styling with seamless OEM integration
The illuminated strip now aligns perfectly with the car’s LED headlights, creating a continuous light signature across the front end. The installation was completed with no warning lights or compatibility issues, thanks to advanced coding and diagnostic tools. The result is a Golf 8 that stands out both day and night, with a look that matches Volkswagen’s highest standards.
