Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Hey mate,
    Headlights - $1500
    Adapters - $90
    Auto Level + AFS - $350
    They may charge you about 700-$800 for the install in Perth as it is an expensive place
    My prices do not include GST.
    All parts are brand new. Email us info@jku.com.au for more info

      VW Headlights Bi-Xenon LED Installation Process Stages

      STAGE1
      - pair of complete bi-Xenon Headlights
      - new BCM high line - $300+GST - needs to end in 087 for a correct operation
      - pair of adaptors harness - 90+GST - plugs on the car are different.
      - Labour for this stage is 6 hours and the lights work but they don't do auto levelling and they don't do cornering as from the factory.

      Stage 2 - AFS and Auto Levelling
      - AFS Module with harness- $200+GST
      - Auto-Levelling sensor and harness - $200 - this mounts on the rear axle of the car and has to be run to the glovebox, fusebox and to each individual headlight. You have to install wires all over these places in the car
      - Labour is 6 hours

      Stage 3 - Headlight washers / sprinklers
      - Headlights jets and sprinklers - price to be announced as it differes at around $350-$450
      - Harness - $100+GST
      - Labour - 4 hours - take off the bumper and install the sprinklers


      This is assuming the bumper has preparation for washers and does not need to be changed like on Golf 6.
      If it does not you can cut out the holes in the bumper or simply buy a new bumper.

      The Simple headlights are easy but if you want them to work as from the factory like this and have headlight washers it is is a big job and to make sure everything works properly we need the car for 3-4 days.

      This is how the lights are meant to work after the install: VW Golf 6 Bi-Xenon LED DRL AFS and auto-levelling test afte - YouTube

      If all 3 stages are completed in one go it can be done in approximately 12 hours - saving of 4 hours and it will cost you approximately $1200.

      If the corresponding wires are connected wrongly it might damage modules and replacement of them is the costly part.

        Good info thanks for posting it. I guess the point is; unless you're sure what you're doing don't attempt this as the DIY project.

            Stupid question but how does one change the LED's between 50% and 100% or is the done through coding

              Its not a stupid one.

              Coding is the main thing

              When you have your indicator on, if the LEDS stay at 100% the indicator is almost non visible. Hence VW decided to either switch off the LEDS like in US&A or dim them to 50%
