Ordered, should be here tomorrow :).

I have them. Going in this weekend.
The pin for the DRL is in the incorrect position so you'll need to repin the headlight connector for them to work properly. There's also an ugly molding seam in both headlight lenses. I've been in a refund dispute for two weeks now and getting nowhere.

You are installing them or getting refund?

Have pictures of the ugly molding? Curious on quality.

I am installing them. They offered a $52 refund but I'm trying to get more since they weren't as advertised for plug-n-play and the quality issue for the lens. There's another guy on here with the mk7.5 lights for 2018s and his don't have this bs and were also p-n-p. In order to get full refund you need to return them and pay shipping back to china (not worth it in my opinion).

Which ones did you buy? There is multiple sellers of this product. I purchased from a seller that stated they were plug and play with the US model that I had. So with that, if they don't work, I'll be able to get a refund according to Aliexpress' refund policy.

They also claim plug n play but state that wiring may vary which it does. You can see the lens molding line in the OP’s link too. They’re the same. Supplier. Read the fine print for refund-you pay return shipping!

I just checked another listing that shows the plug on the headlight and it’s the same as mine. You’ll need to repin for the DRL to work. These are wired for Chinese market which must have DRL pin in a different location.

Have you researched if there is an adapter you could buy, so that you wouldn't have to re pin?

It's interesting because some of the reviews state they are american, and the reviews don't include anything about the lights NOT being plug and play. Even though the reviews are in a different language, perhaps that is the currency they use?

Please post pics and a review.. Very curious.

Will do when they come in! I'm kind of worried now that I will indeed have to re pin, which is not really what I want to do. Maybe other companies with better QC will come out with a better made product. We will see. I'll post up pics as soon as I get them!

Switching pins around is very easy. Nothing to worry about. I did this when I setup my rear tails. Found that the smaller of these tools worked perfectly. Not sure if the headlight plug required the same size terminal tool, but it likely does.
