Hi

I haven't seen any instructions how to convert these lamps so here you go

first you have to wash the taillights thoroughly then dismantle the taillights, it's not for you if you have a weak heart, the sounds of breaking plastic can cause a heart attack
if you haven't broken anything, you can go to step 3
unscrew some T10 screws
NOTE: the interior lamp has one hidden screw

wash your hands again, if you accidentally touch the reflector, you probably won't have to clean it (it's not that easy, the reflector plating is very soft)
Use the same T10 screwdriver to remove motherboards from the taillights

in the external lamp you need to remove the sidemarker (it will be useful later), remove one wire and connect two pads
EDIT: or just swap 0ohm resistor

the internal rear light is a bit more difficult, you have to take out one diode, and then connect one pad using some wire with an unused (in us version) pad in the connector

also you need to modify the main power cable. do you remember the sidemarker you took out? take one wire from it

change the plug to 5-pin
8R0 973 605
8R0 973 705
run 1 wire from the inner taillight to J393

of course, the vag had to be more complicated, using the wiring diagram, you have to re-plug all the plugs, do not forget about the turn signals in J393(* means EU, *2 means US)

the last step will be put it back together, I don't know how to glue it
Good luck closing the tailgate
