[Ultima] Smoked Lens Dynamic Sequential Blink LED Side Mirror Turn Signal Light Strip Assembly For 2015+ Volkswagen Golf GTI MK7 R VII https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SRD8BL4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yxooDbYG0F66H

Here are the ones I got. Not hard to install at all! But be careful when trying to take your mirror cover off, cause I chipped my passenger mirror. Nothing too noticeable, but it's noticeable to me.

Here is the video that helped me remove the cover. Other than the cover, it's two t10 screws and a little bit of elbow grease to get the lights out. The package came with a t10 screwdriver and a bone tool, which helped out a ton! It took me about an hour to install both.

For anyone curious

I mean all the company really did was cut a different pattern in EL Tape and updated the power source.

I have a 19 sport but really wanted an ex for the extras and couldn't get it in time. Seeing it in my color makes me so jelly. That's a clean whip 🔥

As far as chrome delete goes, here are some links you can use if you want. smoked markers, chrome trim blackout, lug chrome delete, black or carbon handles, this site has stickers for the useless buttons, steering wheel, dash, shifter. I went down a rabbit hole.

Here is a quick idea for how to do it.

First, get a POM bottle :
https://www.packagingdigest.com/sites/default/files/styles/featured_image_750x422/public/297190-POM_single_serve_bottle.JPG?itok=ZQGrcN07

Next, paint the entire top part like a cork (mainly so its opaque).

throw your 2d4 in it

Then install LED light in the top opaque part shining down.

here’s the ones I bought.

Cheap, 10 minute install, and they have smoked with white LEDs no resistor needed.

So it is actually a 3 part ordeal.

The actual fog lights since my car didn't come with them, and the stalk. Then I did some c-shaped drl since I have leds in my high beams and the factory drl doesn't work with leds, but then the c-shaped drl didn't work for a little bit so I bought the drl turn signals, and then the previous c-shaped ones started working again. I will just post all of my mods below:

I had my rims done by a local company, they are the factory 16" painted gloss black. My mazda emblem is actually a long story, but essentially it is just scuffed up with sand paper ready to be painted but I liked the look and stuck it back on the way it is. I have also installed car play, and 3D printed a shift knob. The factory bose system was a little lacking and put a small under seat sub in to help fill the sound, but am still not happy with it, so that's a future project.

Some near future plans for the car include the aero kit, and I'll post the links to those here too:

I got these: Looked great, fit better than the OEM. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073X69N7D/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I found these magnetic USB cables quite handy for charging the controllers while minimizing the risk of bending the micro USB ports.

Since I also have an Oculus, I bought this HDMI switch so that I don't ever have to unplug and re-plug in the cables (which damaged them in the past, which was hell). If you are going this route, I might next time consider a KVM switch that also switches the USB, though I do not have one to recommend.

I recommended these side markers to someone last week, but I think they would look great on your Renegade!:

I put them on my granite crystal DoJ and couldn't be happier with the look.

The grill lights are these from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I1CHCO0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have the Weathertech floor liners in mine. Husky and OEM are other options. For the side markers I bought smoked one's off Amazon.

I think most states the side markers just half to be reflective and visible from 500ft. There are also some LED one's that will work with your turn signal but require a fuse tap. Lots of options.

I went with the Procivic wind visors on mine. There's a Mugen type as well. Just depends on what you want to spend on what look. I'm happy with the Procivics.

www.civicx.com is a great place to find info as well.


Here's mine

Not all that 'smoked' but look so much better then those bright orange abominations that are stock. I honestly think it's my favorite thing I've done.

I put these in the blank spot where the light would of been in the rear fog assembly. Worked great!

It kind of is, just unscrew a few bolts and shove your hand in. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0749G3M4Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I don't mind at all. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BNJH5FY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Same here! The fishbowl look is driving me nuts. I just did mine, so my disclaimer is that I don’t know how these will wear, but... I went through this Amazon seller. Good reviews and suggested by a friend who has them.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075KTWTF9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QKR7CbXS011VY

They stopped selling the brand I bought but my friend has these and they are just as good
(FYI the parking lights are halos but the turn signals and emergency flashers are amber)

Unfortunately I don't have before and after pics.

I had LEDs in the halogen housings and the distance was better than the Anzos. But there is more width with the Anzos. I plan to get different, better, LEDs to see if I can get more distance.

HID still perform better than LED in projectors, but in my opinion LEDs are easier to install. As seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUxfA7RnK-0

I did not get the switchback set, but I did upgrade all bulbs to LEDs.

Front Turns

Rear Brake

3rd Brake, Cargo, and License Plate

Lastly I use Forscan to address hyper flashing and enable "Bambi Mode" (fogs stay on with high beams). I did not have to splice any wires.

I did change them out. These are the ones I picked up from Amazon and I love it.

You can find it here! on Amazon

For the price I have absolutely no complaints. There is some sort of residue on them I believe, but that should just clean up. Haven't tried yet. I can get better photos if you want.

They were $26 on amazon when I bought them: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CQSPL1P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There is also a variant for the sedan, and even ones that have LED logo lighting.

Side markers were a little pricey but had the best reviews I saw: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073X69N7D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There are some in the $20-30 range.

These guys- Bullet LED - Amazon
You just need a 3/4” hole to pop em into

Get the Amazon ones. Previous owner sprayed mine and they look like shit maybe six months later. I ordered these and they look great.

It would be cool if you get it to work, but would you install the receiver inside the controller grip?

I use the magnetic usb charging cables on mine. They hang right below where the controllers hang and I can just click them into the usb end and pop them off when I want. Haven't had to remove the ends yet, so hoping they come out easy.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BY2Q59C?psc=1
They charge as fast as the standard usb cable.
