Excellent video and instructions. Thanks. The hardest job was getting the boot lock plastic cap off!

[@damos_cars]

Ha ha yeh! That can be tricky. Glad it helped!

[@user-cb3gv9bj7z]

Keep the content up on the mk2 TT

[@damos_cars]

Cheers buddy!

A lot easier to remove if you do this in summer and park it boot facing south for the day.

[@damos_cars]

I did this exactly same brake light and all. I still have the dash saying my light is out but it's working any ideas?

[@damos_cars]

Mmm not sure TBH, fuse?

[@klarisimus55555]

hi guys, can you please tell me dimensions of these 2 torx screws or alternatives for them cause someone lost them, thx

[@damos_cars]

Hi, sorry I don't have the car anymore so not really able to help with your question.

스포일러 up 안하면 탈거할수없나요?
안녕하세요

[@damos_cars]

@@YY-qy6ug you can but easier if you put the spoiler up

[@TheLordHiggs]

Can i ask where you bought the blackout version from? I've just installed mine, and typically it doesn't work. Checked cabling and thats fine its literally just a faulty new light

[@damos_cars]

Hi, it was just on eBay

[@lightningrodriguez]

Would it be worth putting sound deadening in the rear boot lid?

[@damos_cars]

No, that would mute the sound of the lovely exhaust! ;-)
