There seems to be every retrofit you could possibly require, surely someone knows of a retrofit kit for xenons.

Yep it's possible, kufatec wiring adapters are the main thing and then you need to decide how far you want to go on the retro fit.

The basic option is just the lights or you can go the full hog and have washers and auto levers. :smiley:

I've looked into this and it is not cheap, the best I can get so far is.

Both Xenons, controllers, ballasts etc. 999 Euro
Self levellers 219 Euro
Central Electrical  Control Unit 299 Euro (this needs upgraded from the one in your current car)
Adapters 50 Euro

Total cost for parts approx 1567 Euro ; £1300

You also need the headlight washers to be legal which is fine if you already have the winter pack.

I have given up and just upgraded the bulbs.  :smiley:

Do they not just activate if the headlights are on?
Turn them off as you are about to wash the windscreen  :grin:

I've got the washers. All I need are the dancing Xenons and associated bits.

Asker Ive done this on my golf and about 5-6 other forum members cars, I fitted the xenons including auto leveling and washers.

Seen has you have the washers it will make it easier you will just need the xenon lights and auto level kit,  Your central electrics module should be fine for coding xenons in.

If you leave it with me my mate had a new GTi breaking I can see if he will part with the xenons cheaply?

Not easy if your car uses the Xenons as DRLs...they are always on, which means every 4th wash of the window, you get a pair of foamy front wings!
