Buy LED Number Plate Light (1K8 943 021 D) in the US – Genuine Volkswagen Parts

Upgrade your vehicle’s rear lighting with the Genuine Volkswagen LED Number Plate Light (Part No: 1K8 943 021 D). This unit replaces standard halogen lamps with high-performance, crisp white LED technology, providing a modern look and superior illumination for your registration plate.

Product Overview

The 1K8 943 021 D is a genuine VAG (Volkswagen Group) component designed as a direct “plug-and-play” upgrade or replacement. Unlike aftermarket “bulb-only” upgrades, this is a complete, sealed LED lamp assembly.

• Classification: Genuine Volkswagen OEM Component.

• Part Number: 1K8 943 021 D (Replaces earlier revisions such as 1K8 943 021 C).

• Function: Provides bright, cool-white illumination of the rear number plate.

• Benefits: Enhanced visibility, modern aesthetic, and extreme longevity compared to traditional W5W halogen bulbs.

Compatibility & Fitment

This LED unit is designed for many Volkswagen Group vehicles equipped with factory LED license plate lighting.

• Compatible Models:

  • Volkswagen: Golf (Mk7), Polo (2013 onwards), Passat (B7/B8/CC), Amarok, Scirocco, and New Beetle.

  • Seat: Leon (2013–2016), Toledo.

• Important Note: This part is intended for vehicles that originally came with LED license plate lighting or for owners performing an OEM-style retrofit. If your vehicle currently uses standard halogen bulbs, you may need to code your vehicle (via VCDS/OBD11) to avoid “bulb out” error messages, as LEDs draw different power loads.

• Verification: Please check your vehicle’s PR-Code (specifically for KL1 – LED license plate lighting) or provide your VIN so our team can confirm if this is the correct fitment for your specific model year and configuration.

How It Works

This lamp is a sealed LED module that replaces the entire clear plastic lens and internal bulb housing of your standard number plate light.

• Integration: It clips directly into the rear bumper or tailgate housing.

• Why Upgrade? Traditional halogen bulbs often yellow over time, melt their housings, or fail frequently. The 1K8 943 021 D LED module is a solid-state unit designed to provide thousands of hours of reliable, maintenance-free performance.

Performance Benefits

• Crisp Visibility: The pure white light provides excellent clarity for your number plate, improving safety during night driving.

• Modern Aesthetic: Instantly updates the look of your vehicle, matching the high-end appearance of modern VW models.

• Reduced Wear: LED technology produces less heat than traditional bulbs, protecting your rear trim and paintwork from heat damage.

Build Quality & Engineering

• OEM-Grade Manufacturing: Produced to strict Volkswagen Group tolerances to ensure a weather-tight seal and perfect color temperature.

• Weather Resistance: Designed to withstand the moisture, road salt, and harsh weather conditions common on US roads.

• Reliability: Built to last the lifetime of the vehicle, reducing the need for constant bulb changes.
