VWIDTalk Podcast hosts Jan and Wes shared a systematic approach to retrofitting European OEM components into U.S.-spec Volkswagens, focusing on IQ taillights with amber turn signals.
The process involved evaluating mechanical, electrical, and coding/configuration feasibility to ensure compatibility and successful integration of the new components.
The methodology outlined in the episode is applicable to a wide range of retrofits, from lighting upgrades to advanced features like ventilated seats and 360-degree cameras.
By providing detailed visuals, wiring diagrams, and a GitHub repository, the team aims to empower enthusiasts to undertake OEM-level mods confidently and avoid purchasing incompatible parts.
