That is exactly what I was  planning to do If I could not  code them  but the insides are imposible to figure out (TONS OF TINNY CABLES), that is why I want the pins or schematics, maybe Ill try to open one of them to  see the led board.

Due to the £350 each cost of the light lenses, whats our views on the headlight protective covers VW sells :undecided:

Snoops: Won't the slight bit of extra refraction destroy beam clarity a bit?  :undecided:
Looks a bit naff too, IMO.

Not me personally, (touch wood) haven't see many modern headlights broken due to stones etc, and given how many miles I do a year I feel happy enough to take the risk  :smiley:

As above really, polycarbonate headlamps are hard as nails.

I personally wouldn't bother for the same reasons Steve's stated, i've seen worse examples in the past though.

Still waiting on lights which are on back order..  :cry:

Got the Autoleveling cable from Kufatec and it confirms what I had suspected after a lot of reading.
The MK6 without ACC only has a rear sensor for autoleveling simplifying the wiring a bit.
Makes the total cost a bit cheaper too   :smiley:

Managed to get all the other bits at good prices from Sweden to Austria, so looks like a full install now with Autoleveling and steering LED lights.  :laugh:

So what are the costs Mike and what's involved wiring wise?
