It depends on which MY have. For a 09 with red cluster you have to change:
- rear bumper and its mountings
- rear tailgate
- the connectors
- the taillights
- VCDS

If you have a MY10 or later you'll also need:
- a new BCM
- VCP coding device to adapt the EEPROM data

PS: I didn't take any pictures and I'm not on Facebook :)

YyB: Any Chance of you elaborating on the VCP EEPROM part? I have issues with LED rearlights on a car, we changed all including BCM, but still nothing works properly.

Hi one71. Unfortunately I don't have VCP because I didn't need it on mine.
Maybe you could ask on the VCP forum?

BTW: :D

Nice build, thinking of doing the same om my 09, just wondering: what do i need to change in the coding for the tail lights? Just change a specific code or update it to think its a facelift model (i am thinking of doing it with the Vag diagnostics computer at work)

You have to reduce the dimming of the brake and rear fog lights to 0% and I recommend to raise the parking light up to 62% brightness.
I have to look it up, which byte you have to change.

Would It be possible to only upgrade the facelift rear lights and boot, but without rear bumper?

See I would want to do the opposite, keep my standard boot and lights and swap the bumpers but I don't think they're compatible :(

Was ur front bumper a facelift? If so was it a direct fit or did u have to mess about with the front side panels? Maybe different brackets etc? Thanks
