Golf MK7 (5G) $17 dynamic flowing indicators installation and test

Installation and test of cheap dynamic indicators from AliExpress for Volkswagen #GolfMK7 side mirrors. Package includes two replacement parts, a torx screw driver and prying tool. First you need to remove mirror glass (notice wiring for mirror heating and blind spot indicator), then undo two clips that hold the mirror cap. Once that is removed you can remove two screws holding indicator, and two screws keeping the mirror assembly together - this will give us some move room to wiggle the parts out. Disconnect small connector and now removing the OEM #indicator should be easy. You can make it easier with a hep of prying tool. Then install new #dynamic indicator in place, connect it, put everything back together and try it out. Everything is plug&play, there's no coding required, there will be no broken bulb error messages on the instrument cluster.
In my tests the aftermarket flowing blinker is much brighter than the stock OEM VW part.
The only downside that I found is the small square that's visible though the mirror frame. Since it's at the end of the sequential animation, it lights up only for a fraction of second.
This part should fit MK7.5 facelift models as well.
This set of parts and tools was around $17 with S&H, right now it's $19 for the smoked ones, and $15 for clear ones. This is the cheapest that I found for MK7.

My mirror cover was removed super easily - a cyclist hit it while I was waiting at the lights and came straight off, clips and all!

Hi. Nice video, as usual. I've fitted it and after few months, one side started to give warning light although it works just perfectly. It dissapears after turning off the car but VCDS gave intermittent fault 65650. Since you know also a lot about coding, is there a possibility to disable the warning just from left (driver side) mirror on mk7.5? Many thanks.

probably not. in-mirror blindspot retrofit is very expensive and requires OEM tools for calibration

Ilu pionową masz kostkę w lusterkach ? Widze ze masz oswietlenie w lusterkach ja w swojej wersji tego oswietlenia nie mam i chciałem dołożyć lecz zastanawia mnie czy mam instalacje tam doprowadzona. Jeśli to nie problem to napisz ile pionów dochodzi do lusterka i ile pionów ma kostka od lusterka. Bo ja w swoim przez obd aktywowalem i skladanie lusterek i oswietlenie lecz lusterka nie maja ani silników ani oświetlenia wiec może do lusterek jest juz zrobiona instalacja a problemem sa same lusterka.

@jonson222222222 mam dokładnie taki sam przypadek - mam lusterka nie składane oraz bez oświetlenia zewnętrznego. Z tego co szukałem - jedyna opcja to kupienie innych lusterek - takich które się składają i mają oświetlenie. Dodatkowo należy dokupić do wnętrza panel sterowania lusterkami gdzie będzie dodatkowa pozycja - składanie lusterek. ALE - oczywiście moje szukanie może być g... warte za przeproszeniem - i temat jest prostszy. Sam z chęcią poczekam na odpowiedź :)

do you have diagnostic interface like OBDeleven or VCDS? You can perform with it output test of the puddle light (basically you can force the light to turn on) so you can see if it's working.

Hi, I mounted these indicators from Aliexpress on my golf 7, could you tell me why they only work dynamically when all the doors are closed? Let me explain better... if all the doors of the car are closed the direction indicator flash dynamically but if I open a door they start to flash in the normal way like the original indicators, when I close the door they return to flashing dynamically... its a very strange problem that I think is related to electric tension

@@danilomodica2192 hi, i think i just got the same issue. The leds are probably very sensitive to load/ current. If the doors are openend other leds will light up, and the load is different/ maybe les current to the indicators. I don’t have a solution right now for u tho…
