Newbie Question: Is there a OEM LED Tail that don't need coding?

I have a 2012 4-door GTI (built April 2012). I have some newbie questions:

1. Does my car have a Rear Fog Light (I want to make sure that I order LED tail light that WILL NOT require any coding).

2. Is there a OEM LED Tail Light from any vendor that DOES NOT require any coding at all? (Straight plug and play, with harness).

I want to get Dark Cherry Red LED tail that WILL NOT require any coding (if possible). If coding is REALLY a must, can someone please recommend a reputable vendor for OEM LED lights? Also, if coding is really necessary, should I take it to VW dealership? Can anyone recommend a shop in Las Vegas, NV area that can do the coding (if I really have to).

OEM LED only please. Thanks.

Google for "vagcom locator". You'll find many people offering to help you for free or cheap like $10. Won't take more than 5 minutes.

No you don't need rear fog but you can choose that style if you like.

You can look around the forum for a group buy or BKStuning is a reputable overseas vendor.

coding is a must

The answer to your question is "No".

Yeah i was wondering this also. I really dont wan to hassle with the coding to put in the Golf R Tails. :mad0259:

It's really not that big of a deal. There is usually someone with Vagcom at most meets. Or you can do like many members and what I plan to do is buy a set of reps that don't need coding... The quality is not the same, but some of them are pretty nice (Depo). Plus LED Tail really improve the looks of an MK6 and in my opinion is a must!

That's the problem with the U.S. education system.

DEPO reps come with resistor boxes that negate the need for coding. Plenty of people (including myself) code the resistor boxes out either way. I have no idea if those resistor boxes would work w/ OEM tails, but could always give it a try... If you could find someone to sell you their resistors.
