or a Dorman 85038 T-Tap 
— both are waterproof and weather sealed.Overview
Light up the front end — without losing your safety tech.
A slim, illuminated badge that sits nearly flush like the factory emblem and stays out of the way of the radar behind it.
Illumination
Even, bright LED glow.
Choose a fully lit badge or a lit outline. It wires to your running lights, so it turns on and off with them automatically.
ACC Safe
Radar transparent by design.
The 4th-gen emblem won't interfere with emergency braking or adaptive cruise, so your driver-assist systems keep working as they should.
Profile
About 7mm thin.
It sits nearly flush with the grille like the factory badge — no bulky housing sticking out of the front of the car.
Fitment
Chassis-specific mounting.
Separate versions for the MK6 Jetta / GLI and the MK6 Golf / GTI grilles. Pick yours above.
Installation
Wiring the emblem.
This emblem wires in directly — there's no plug-and-play connector included, so you'll tap into the headlight harness with a tap connector.
- Locate the headlight harness behind the grille on the side you're installing.
- Find a switched 12V wire that only powers on with your headlights / parking lights.
- Clamp a Posi-Tap or Dorman 85038 T-Tap onto that wire and route the emblem's positive lead into the open side — both are waterproof and weather sealed, unlike standard Scotch-Lock taps.
- Crimp the tap closed, then run the ground lead to a clean chassis ground point.
- Test the emblem before final reassembly, then tuck and secure the wiring away from heat and moving parts.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Will it affect my ACC or emergency braking?
No. The 4th-gen design is radar transparent, so adaptive cruise and front assist keep working normally.
Is it plug-and-play?
No — there's no plug-in connector. You tap the positive lead into a switched 12V wire on the headlight harness and ground the negative lead to the chassis. See the wiring guide above.
What's the difference between Full and Line?
Full lights up the whole badge. Line lights only the outline for a subtler look.
The clips don't line up on my car — what now?
Clip positions vary slightly between build dates. Trim the clips as needed and secure the emblem with 3M VHB tape.
When does it light up?
Wired to the running / parking light circuit, it comes on and goes off with your lights automatically.
How fast does it ship?
It ships the next business day or the day after via UPS.
