Replica LED Projector Headlights

[JayGTD]

So I went ahead and ordered a set of these last week, as soon as i got them through the post i fitted them within the hour, taking about 1.5 hours. Totally love them! Comes with 4300k HID's. The LED's are now wired up (jumped pins 4 and 10) to act as both DRL's and parking lights and act as OEM behaviour. Completely finished off the front end. I am aware that the LED's and the 4300K HID's are slightly different in colour, but it doesn't really bother me

Here are some pictures:

Really updates the front end, its deffo going to be my next upgrade on mine.

Can I ask where you got the lights from and how easy/difficult they were to fit?

cheers, Chris

Hi Chris

Got them from Xenonz.co.uk, he gave me a discount price. But you can get them from china for cheaper from vacar.com.cn
Installtion was relatively easy, here are some links i used for reference

I expected it to be more difficult, but in reality it was quite straight forward. Hardest part was disconnecting the connectors from the origional headlights

Wish i had seen these before i went through the toil of the OEM ones. They look great!!!!!

Just bought some of these for my Mark 6... Did you have to code the DRL's with VCDS or VAGCOM?

I did indeed. Codes used:

Byte 14 bit 3 (shutters)
Byte 15 bit 6 and 7
Byte 19 (forgot which bit - the one to uncheck the inactive bulb life extender - important for HID's to ensure them to work correctly. It sends a smaller voltage up front before the full voltage to ensure the life of the bulbs and also to prevent errors)
Byte 24 bit 7
Byte 27 bit 2

All in all, this makes sure the LED's are coded as DRL's, gets rid of bulb errors from both HID's and LED's, and safety measures to prolong the life of the bulbs

If you code it like this, the LED's are coded as DRL's and they won't come on with the Low-beams. If you want the LED's to also come on with the low beams, you have to use a wire to jump pin 4 and 10 on the connector. Without the jump wire, it's either DRL's or sidelights

No problem man. It took me ages to look for the right codes trailing through so many threads on golfmk6.com. Eventually someone there helped me out - even worse that I don't have vagcom myself and have to go through a VAG specialist to get it coded

JayGTD can you mind what byte 19 is on the long code? mines set to FF which is way unusual. I've done a spreadsheet with known coding for bi xenons with drls and byte 19 is either 88 or 86! so if you know what yours is it would be helpful.

Honestly I've no idea mate, I had it done at a Vag specialist and they just checked the boxes I told them to unfortuantely i don't have a cable myself
