🛠️ VW LED Rear Emblem – Wiring Installation Guide
Pre-Lubricated Joints: We apply lubricant to the hinge joints before shipping. Please do not wipe it off, as it ensures smooth movement and makes installation easier.
Connecting your new emblem is straightforward. Follow the wiring instructions below depending on which style you purchased:
- Red & White Wires (Top Right): Connect these directly to your car’s corresponding red and white wires (these act as the power switch circuit).
- Emblem Plug (Left Red Box): This is the direct connector plug for the LED emblem unit.

This version features three wires to power the multi-color functionality and the hidden reverse-gear switching method.
