Retro fit Rear LEDs

[dalepearson]

I have seen some of you guys talking about the rear LED's on the newer release, however I have not seen anyone who has actually done it, or looked into the cost?

So has anyone done it?
Got Pics?
Part Numbers and Costs?

The LED rear lamps (4 pieces) can be installed on earlier Exeo versions by the dealer.
Price is appr. GBP 300,- for the lamps only.
The dealer has to make some adjustments in the software, an EEPROM or so.

I've posted in the Sere Motors section, and asked David to provide us with prices for the items mcdonald has listed above

Would be interesting to find out if the dealer modifications can be done via vag-com, if it they are actual hardware/ecu changes.....

 

[dalepearson]

Awesome, thanks to you both.

Each lamp is appr. £ 65,--, The dealer will probably add some extra for installing but a good dealer wouldn't.

As far as I know this is not possible via vag-com.

The information comes from the Spanish forum http://clubseatexeo.com/es/index.html
I've heard some guys on that forum are working at the spanish dealers garages.
Also the german forum provides a lot of info about the LED lamps: http://www.seatforum.de/forum/showthread.php?t=160162

Thats not bad at all.
Was that ST prices or Saloon?

I had them installed a few weeks ago.

The Belgian dealer received an internal email message in march from Seat explaining that it was possible to replace the rear lights with LED's.

It would have cost me around €325 (I got them for free with the purchase of the car )
Mine is a saloon.

You should do it, it looks MUCH better, especially at nightfall. They look like bull's horns (Spanish version )

Was it a straight swap, or is some wire harness required?

 

[loot1979]

I don't think so, I left the car with the dealer because he needed a couple of hours.
I wasn't there to see what they did...

 

[quiggs2001]

Oo I want this modification. I'll get onto that guy from SERE Seat Belfast...

my mate is a master tech at SEAT and ive spoke to him about this he says the lamps are a straight swap no wiring involved the LED's will work once plugged in but the bulb warning lamp wil be on due to voltage drop he also says the coding can be done with VAG.com ive priced the lamps with my local SEAT dealer and he said £300 for the 4 lamps but they are currently on backorder wi SEAT

 

[quiggs2001]

I wonder could you ask him if the LED running headlights '12 onwards are backward compatible with no wiring problems?

You can't fully program the rear LED lamps with VAGcom (VCDS) beside dimming the intension of the LEDs. I've tried VCDS and other programs like VAG-Commander without succes.

You'll need VAS-PC for this. It has an option to switch from bulb to LED and vice versa. The only thing you have to do is to select the option in VAS-PC, follow the given steps and it will program an EEPROM somewhere in the car for you.

Replacing the rear lamp units is an easy job and the programming takes appr. 5 minutes.

thanks for the info I take it VAS-PC is a thing that can be done at a SEAT dealer McDonald? all this VAG coding is confusing to be as I work at a BMW dealer
