Headlights - Discussion and Questions

Weird.
All the pictures seem to have the silver line through the light and grill so i would say these are just pictures of the Mk7 R..........

[Jimi]

That's just an R. The grille in one of the pics gives it away. The GTI has black strakes...

Ok so how did you do it?
What type of LED strip did you use and how was it mounted?
How did you get access to the back of the headlight?
Where did you wire it into the headlight harness?
I was going to do this also to my GTI next year when it gets delivered so I'm interested to hear what you did.

One of my friend in overseas built up Kit for this job.
And I've installed it on GTI.
It is 'LEDs on metalic circuit board' for both side and some wires.

No its different.
I just stick on LED bar and board in original light. So it doesn't cost that much.

Can you explain some more how you went about doing this ?? So you pulled the original light apart ? :/

[han7682]

One of my friends built up LED bars on metal board to put in original light.
It doesn't need to make hole, replace with somethings or cording. Just connect & play.

Golf 7 Bi-xenon headlight package

Hoping someone can help.

How do the bi-xenon headlight washers work on the Golf? I previously owned a Mini and the washer function would occur when you held the windscreen stalk towards you for a period of 3+ seconds in conjunction with cleaning the windscreen. I have tried this, the windscreen washers work but nothing on the headlights.

Is there a button hiding or is there a setting in the main display I need to select? Just hoping it's not a fault.

Thanks in advance!

they will wash on the first wash upon start of vehicle then every 5 washes there after.. count resets when vehicle is restarted. you can adjust this 5 number of washes with vcds.
