Today I've done the conversion to Polo 6C Tail Lights.
I followed the guide made by Ciclo and I made the adaptors by myself.
All bulbs work fine, except for the parking lights.
When I turn-on the ignition, the parking lights (front and rear) turn-on for 1 second and then they automatically turn-off and the check-bulb lamp appears on the instrument cluster.
I checked the adaptors wirings multiple times and they are correct.
I checked the fuses and they are all fine.
I tested the rear parking lights bulbs and they are fine.
Scanning with VCDS, these are the errors that come up as soon as I turn-on the ignition:
I reinstalled my old 6R Tail Lights and the problem disappears.Address 09: Cent. Elect. Labels: 6R0-937-08x-09.clb

It seems like it is exclusively related to the parking lights only when I install 6C Tail Lights.
Could it be the BCM detects that the rear bulbs absorb more electricity (T15 16W compared to the T10 5W of the 6R tail lights) and it stops the electricity because it thinks it's not safe?
Any help would really be much appreciated.
