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:

mr doc i need your help seriously  :cry:

would we be able to arrange something

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
Why on earth would you buy a TSI with an R replica kit??
Asking for problems.

I hope it was cheap.

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 ?

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?
