I've currently got the H7 Phillips white light things in my 7. Are these needed for the TCR headlights?

TCR has LED headlights.

Doesn't the Mk7 have xenon headlights?
You won't need any replacement bulbs for a 7.5, std lights are very good.

It was the cornering lights that I put the h7s in. Just debating if I can be bothered to take them out before the car gets put in.

Cornering lights (the vertical ones in the bumper either side) are also LED on the 7.5. Main headlights are LED on the 7.5 and are brilliant IMO.
No 'white' bulb upgrades needed for the 7.5 except the boot. :)

Annoying that the glovebox one isn’t LED either.

When I swapped my footwell LEDs for red ones I popped one of the redundant lights in the glovebox. Not sure it's really made much difference.

Lights on the Mk7.5 are nice and bright, but I just wish they reached a little further sometimes

I find them a lot better than the xenons (as someone that commutes all year round in darkness) and stunning on full beam. Even more stunning for oncoming traffic if the auto-dip doesn’t kick in quick enough :grin:
Like the xenons though, I find the beam cut off point too sharp compared to good quality uprated halogens.

Have to agree on the reach of the standard Mk 7.5 lights which I also find cut-off too sharply. I have raised them as much as possible (only the occasional flash from oncoming cars) but could really do with a bit more reach on unlit b roads.
