If this is about euro mirror. Give them 2 weeks. You will get used to them. They are great and a must on a GTI. Helps in side blind spot. I would not want USA mirror again.
keep them! you're not supposed to focus on the outer triangle - just the inner part the outer triangle 'aspheric' portion is solely so you don't have a blindspot anymore. I've found that they work perfectly !
You DO NOT need to remove the mirrors to do this. As soon as you put the mirror all the way facing down, you will be able to access the two clips from behind the mirror. First clip off the bigger one closer to the car, then mess around with the smaller one until it comes off. Removing the mirror is way more risky and is not needed by any means. I just completed this install in less than 10 minutes without removing the mirrors.
In my experience, if you order the mirror glass just in case you break it, it will not break.... BUT if you don't order it, you'll break it and it'll be on back order...
Use a PDR suction cup in the center of the mirror. Then pull on it while you pry the side of the mirror. It spreads the pressure across the mirror minimizing the possibility of cracking the glass
I've also found when working on older plastic parts and their clips that to help release them, spray some soapy water or detail spray on the clips. This really helps by acting as a lubricant and simultaneously loosens and removes the small dirt particles that tend to hold the clips in place.
On my 2019 SEAT Ibiza I take out the mirror covers without removing the mirror itself. It’s the same on all VAG. The trick is to put all the fingers on that small step and then pull towards you. The first time it’s a bit tricky, but once you got it, it’s a 30 second job!
Joining my local VW Owners Club I've meet a few other owners of a B5 and B5.5 wagon that where surprised my 04' Passat 1.8T GL Wagon had side mirror turn signal lights. I plan on replacing the single light with a strip of white and strip of amber so I have amber turn lights and white when I open the door. Helps when traffic is coming and they see the door easier. May even go the route where it has the light go on one at a time starting with the light closest to the car running away. As kind of a directional piece 2 get others to understand which way I'm going.
Anyone in the Uk after genuine osram they are half price on Amazon (£76) They don’t list them as compatible for the 8R but they just haven’t updated the description. You need the ones for the VW Passat B8. With removing the mirror glass I find tilting the mirror fully into its housing towards the car door which leaves a good amount to get your fingers in behind the glass towards the outside pointed part of the mirror. Worked better for me than accessing from above. Each to their own 😀
I was having trouble getting my mirror off then I noticed you can slip something thin like a butter knife (what I used) to slip in between the mirror and mirror cap to disengage those tabs. Took a few tries but eventually got it off and was able to access the light bar without damaging the mirror. Note the mirror should be pointed all the way down as shown in Humble Mechanic’s video in order for this to work. Remember, be gentle.
Here's my cool trick for u, stick a zip tie or anything once u untab something, zip tip keeps it from popping back in. Makes life so much easier. Those mirrors look so incredibly thin though my God.

I did the aspherical and dynamic turn signal mod and broke the tabs for the mirror caps. You can JB weld the tabs back on or do what I did and upgrade to black mirror caps. They're cheap on aliexpress so it's not the end of the world
This light looks amazing and awesome 👍. I am missing listening toyour podcast for a long time. So My humble request is get back on the podcast whenever it's possible?
Great video and I've learned so much. Thank you and I am getting my Golf R from Lindsay VW as well. Just put $1k down just to get on the waiting list. It's going to be a long journey. Thank you sir.
@@HumbleMechanic Thank you sir. I will continue to watch your contents. I will be changing the stock springs to lowering springs. The complexity of the progress is holding me back.
Just got the same dynamic mirror indicators for my 2019 Arteon SEL 4motion. The black edition version, is more difficult to find than the white edition ones in general for some reason at least here in the states and the specific model that works for the Arteon, which are also fits the MK8 Golf R and some years of the Passat etc. The exact same ones Charles, installed. I was about to pull trigger for the white edition version, and found a seller on eBay, selling these at auction with starting bid at $80 plus tax and shipping. Total was just a bit under $100, compared to rhe OEM that go for $230+. Its also the same VW distributor, VW Zubehor. Wondering if they are the only VW parts group that carry the black edition 🤔. Anyway now I'm contemplating if I'll do the install or pay someone to do it. Seems pretty straight forward 😅.
Euro spec R and Gti models come with the blindspot line as default and foldable mirrors as an add on from Volkswagen. Idk why not in the US. I guess a golf is a small car so they didn't see the need but we have smaller parking bays than the US I guess that's why...
Can you shed some light on SFD protection in regards to the new golf r computer? I have read VCDS coding was impossible without "tokens"? I bought a Golf R twin to yours and would like to get clarification before purchasing vcds.
@@HumbleMechanic Thanks for the reply. Like I said I have your Golf's twin now with 200 miles on it and I am following all your videos through this series. I am ordering the Sequential turn signals ( Don't need the power folding mirrors) and gettingone of the techs at work turn down the soundactor. I have lighweight wheels on backorder and Tint, PPF and Ceramic scheduled. Just waiting for your next video to see what's next.
Did this on my Tiguan. My car had puddle lights.in the mirror base and the dynamic lights I bought had an additional wire to connect to the puddle lights. When you open the car in low light conditions the indicators flash orange and then change to white and stay on until you open the door.
That will be fun trying to syncing up all the dynamic signals in the Leuchte channels, Blinken Phasen and Lichtfunktions. Does the MK8 R come with a rear fog light?
I had on my 18 GTI. But 19r a T10 is not accessible. Inner guts are too large it seems. I can reach with skinny allen however no room to unscrew the T10 all the way something interfering with it coming all the way out. Is there a different method for 19r!? FmL
Hey Charles I have a 2009 Audi A4 I’m having an issue with the headlights, when the light are on, after a minute this message shows “left dipped headlight/low beam” and I have no light
I cheaped out on the dynamic blinkers. When I installed the power folding mirrors w/dynamic blinkers, the “puddle” lights wouldn’t work. I had to reinstall the OEM blinkers.
i would love to know is there any way you could fix my 1979 vw rabbit diesel, im currently in NY but i think i would be able to ship it to your location
so... uhm... Charles... howabout an aftermarket 360 camera solution, on one of the older golfs u got bumming around... for science...? u had an aftermarket head unit in one of them no?
Hey Charles...great name btw. Thanks for this video, I've actually been looking for this level of comprehensive tutorial for these. However, question for ya. I have a US 2021 Arteon Premier R-Line...and apologize for the dumb question, but would those dynamic turn signals be the same for the Arteon as they are for the MK8 Golf R/GTI? (it already has the power folding) I tried looking on that site for any that would be for the Arteon, but only found the standard signals. Thanks!
All these features are standard on the MK8 R/GTI in Australia (I think). I haven't fully checked but we get quite a bit. Cool mod though, you did good 👌🏽
do the they bleed the light back into the inside of the mirror housing in the mk8, as the audi a4 version of the osram blinker that I got light bleed at the top half of the mirror. Not too happy about that, especially they are the most expensive dynamic mirror blinker in the market.
Charles, great tutorial. 👍 Are there puddle light on bottom of the mirrors like on new Audi vehicles? If not is there a retrofit? They look really nice on my wife's 2022 Q5. Puddle lights "bright white like small spot light flash light" and bottom of the doors project bright white Audi rings on the ground as well. Provides a great look and a great amount of light onto the ground from both lights.
Aren’t they the same IQ headlights that the European market gets? I know the taillights are different which I’m switching out so they’re dynamic as well. I’ve been hearing that you can get the headlight turn signals dynamic through coding… Any truth to that? I don’t really want to swap the headlights out.
Are these like other aftermarket dynamic mirror turn signals for VWs where they are definitely brighter from the front and side, but are almost invisible from the car’s blind spot (which defeats the whole purpose of having turn signal repeaters)?
Installed these on my previous A3 8V, and while they look cool, they don't show actual turn signal light on the inner side of rearview mirror housing, which is kinda annoying. All in all, cool mod to most, to me it's not worth it. Ordered a set for new 8V, along with S3 mirror caps, never installed it
@@HumbleMechanic Well, if they do, that's well worth the hassle (if you can call it that). Maybe I got bad ones, but couldn't find anything better in Europe. By the way, you'll get used to the mirrors. My buddy imported Panamera from Chicago, and when comparing US mirrors to the EU ones... It's not a competition, really. Just give it time.
it´s just stupid that power folding mirrors are "optional" on a 2022 golf R, literally the most equiped version of the golf. On my 2011 seat leon 1.8tsi (another VAG), a mid tier version of the car, it comes standard. It just doesnt make sense
These lights are super fun. After having the mirrors in there for a week or so.. Im probably going to remove them. They are weird.
