Found this on a Chinese exporter website.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEW-arrived-Volkswagen-Golf-7-GTI-bifocal-lens-double-U-LED-xenon-headlight-assembly/1853762780.html

Scroll down to the Product Details for more photos. It's only a matter of time before they make some with the GTI's red stripe but I don't know if I'd fit headlights(or anything) made in China on a German car; just doesn't sound right. :undecided: Hope there's a German company manufacturing something of this sort. The LED Amber signal lights is what caught my attention though.. Looks awesome!

Unfortunately, while both the 'U's are illuminated, some of the other functionality of the OEM headlamps has been lost. There doesn't appear to be a static cornering light between the 2 'U's, and in some of the descriptions it seems to suggest that the adaptive function (headlamps swivelling left/right) also isn't present.

I think if the double U running lights is wanted, then the best solution currently is to fit OEM R headlights, along with an R grille, and then potentially selling on your original GTI/GTD headlamps to recoup some of the cost.

Found this on another china based shopping site, incredibly cheap but not very clear on what you're getting looks like a simple wiring loom and suggests that you lose static cornering lights.

Might be worth a punt?

If its just the wiring loom then that suggests the element is already there in the inner U.

Translation of description...

After a long wait, I finally saw the high 7 headlamps on the market.
Now the market is high compared to 7 headlights, Headlight has many advantages:
1, the original fan design, in addition to the other in order to enhance the design of beam-beam position, the contrast, then do not do outside is almost no domestic production. Even the back cover are the same as the original and imported!
2, plug and play, no need to decode! Do not replace the BCM or change the coding.
3, dedicated ballast position, can be equipped with imported ballast, install the original location, not exposed wires and thread, reducing the failure rate!
4, cash halogen bulbs turn signal is not the same as other brands because of the LED headlight design is very cottage.
5, the headlamps equipped with static cornering assist lamp there, you can select the relevant accessories and fog linkage.
6, the professional factory of SAIC supporting the original lights, professional focus lights, quality and more secure!

The price for the single headlight assembly price (including bulbs and ballasts Wright), requires a pair of friends, please take 2.
Color temperature: 4300K ​​and 6000K
Ballast: Snow Wright and Hylux

The LED headlamps our one year warranty, the ballast bulb warranty for three months

Was scrolling through Instagram earlier and found what looks like double DRLs on a GTI in Germany



J

It is not from Germany but from Slovenia :smiley:. My friend has changed GTI xenon lights with R xenon lights. He had some troubles with recoding (lights went on dashboard) but now is everything ok. Here https://www.facebook.com/avtokozmetikamp is link and just scroll down to see some pictures of his GTI.
