Hey Bruce, this is a great question but the issue with the Curt trailer wiring harness part # C76QV has been resolved and it no longer requires the wires being swapped. You will be able to install this and not have to worry about the trailer taillights not working. Do you have a hitch installed already on your Golf?

@BruceO We have the part # EH59CR from EcoHitch that fits your 2025 Volkswagen Golf R and would be a really great option that's mostly hidden.

@JamesonC On the EcoHitch website they list the Stealth version as also fitting my vehicle, but for some reason etrailer does not? They each have some pros and cons. Also, photos show trim installed on the hole cut in the bodywork, does that come with the hitch? Thanks.
