ive recently bought a golfmk6 tsi
its had a golf r replica kit put on .
which included the oem xenons and dlrs
when i switch car on i get light errors , rear/front foglights and main beam not workin although they do
the only thing that doesnt work is the high beam on my lights
it seems like a electrical prob or mayb they have hooked up lights wrong.
can anyone shed light on this issue
-
Was it the one on eBay by any chance? Black one?
Wait for the Doc the reply, he's wired his own lights up and there are modifications required to the headlights to get full beam working.
Your other bulb warnings will be due to the LED rear lights they've put on, you'll need someone with vcds to code them for you :)
Welcome to the forum!

It will be the BCM, you need one ending in part number 087 D or E for it to be able to support the Xenon shutters. The other versions do not have the pins connected in connector C for this.

Or have a word with SteveP XENONS - Questions and answers on retrofitting and functionality. (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=165998.new#new)
With the parts I have left from the conversation I was working on for my Tiguan and as part of putting mine back to standard ready for chopping it in a month or so I am going to have a large number of the parts available for this conversion, I would rather these go to a forum member and hopefully we can put together a good how to guide for others :smiley:
The bits I have are: -
2 x LED Xenon Headlights (UK RHD Spec)
2 x OEM Bulbs D1S Bulbs
2 x Bulb Retaining rings
2 x Hella D1S Ballasts
1 x Kufatec 12-14pin Halogen to Xenon Adapters
1 x AFS (357 C controller)
1 x BCM Controller (latest 87E Z0K version running 575 software)
So to complete for the same install as mike you will need the 2 x AFS Power Modules, Kufatec AFS Loom and the Self level sensor (about £200-£300 max depending on where you pruchase the bits from).
If anyone is interested please let me know :cool:

You can wire the main beams to work without changing the BCM as I have, not easy to explain though.
I can help you with your no fogs / main beam warnings too :wink:

Bcm= body control unit
No step by step guide
About £2500 if they could fix it at a guess
Have a great weekend :wink:

Yeah silly money! Theyve been fitted to a car that didn't originally come with them. Take it to the Doc, he'll sort you out ;)
-
Take it back to where you got it and tell them it's not roadworthy. Then report them.
Or see Herr Doktor...... :smug:
-
It was recorded as Cat D :) nice looking motor though!

Asking for problems.

ive just thought , if i buy a pair of standard head lights would the high beams work
it seems like it would save me alot of hassle and money

Yes, your main beam warning would go off too, I have an idea, I think DRC would give you his headlamps for yours and a few quid too - DRC ?
-
ill jus buy a pair of standard ones off ebay
thanks for your help
are there any tutorials that show how to change the lights over
-
are the standard headlights model specific or are they all one type fits all
-
I'd be interested in the headlamps, very much so.
Pm me if you want and we can talk :) as Doc said, I'd be willing to give you my headlights and also give you some cash for them :) let me know if you're interested :)

You have to remove the front bumper and do a fair amount of rewiring OR if they bought plug in connectors you'll be ok :wink:
I'm sure DRC would do the work for you, where are you based?
