So, I have seen videos around for aftermarket headlights that have dynamic/fluid turn signals for the mk7.5. I have an SE which comes with the OEM LED headlights.

I was wondering if its possible or if anyone tried to code the OEM headlights using vagcom or OBD11 to achieve fluid turn signals in the headlights.


Here's a video of the dynamic/fluid headlights:

apham: The vieo in your link is headed "AKD headlight upgrade for MK7.5 GTI - Dynamic turn signal demo". I've highlighted the word "upgrade" because this tells the full story.

To achieve the "dynamic/fluid" effect, the turn signals need special "LED chaser" circuits. These are physical components that are normally inbuilt into the headlight assemblies. Depending on the third-party product, some coding is also required - but it isn't possible with just a diagnostic tool (such as VCDS, or OBD11) alone to achieve the LED chaser effect - alas.
