VW Light Up Emblem?
Hi all. I recently ordered an upgrade from my 2021 R-Line to the new Tiguan Black Edition. The car is currently being built, and the dealer sent me an online UK brochure.
Looking at the video in the brochure, it looks like the front and rear badges are illuminated, but the static photos don’t show it. I’ve emailed the dealer to ask if this is true, as I never saw a VW light up emblem as an option on any of the online configurator builds I ran. Then today, a Black Edition (or an R-Line with the black pack) drove past me and it absolutely had the LED emblems.
I’ve googled everywhere and can’t for the life of me find any documentation stating whether this is factory standard or part of a specific pack.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

I've seen some newer VW products on the street with lighted grille-emblems up front.......not sure about the rear.
IMHO, it is a gimmick.
Supposedly, there is a kit for a conversion to an LED-lit emblem.
