BEC 7.5 LED Reps Installed

I was on the fence about the LED version of the BEC Ed's Reps for my 2017 Mk7 GTI S because I hadn't seen too much info. Was going to buy the HID version but they showed discontinued so I took the plunge and ordered the LED's. I've never owned a car with fancy lights so I didn't know what to except. All I know is that the only regret I have about buying this car was not waiting for a car with the lighting package and knew aftermarket reps were a must.

Right out of the box they looked impressive. Build quality was top notch and the lenses were nice and clear. I had my buddy throw on some of the new XPEL 10mil PPF before I put them in.

I did the install by myself in about an hour and a half. Removing the bumper is easy now because I did it for the intercooler install so that was cake. The longest time was my OCD and making sure both lights were lined up to perfection. Quick battery reconnect to test power and it was bumper time. Putting the bumper back on alone is a PITA but overall a very simple install.

Here's some quick iPhone snaps before I shoot the car with my camera. I'm absolutely thrilled with how the car looks now!

How are the LEDs at night? Looks sooooo good

Thanks! They are very bright. I only drove it Saturday night for a couple miles after all the 4th of July stuff. There was a ton of smoke in the air so it was hard to get a real feel for them but output is nice and bright. I’ll have to check the adjustment but I am more than happy with them so far

I have the lighting package and wish I didn’t. Not much you can do to upgrade the i.e. double u’s or LEDs etc. Congrats looks great!

How ? The BEC Headlights are clearly marked as not compatible with LP equipped vehicles. I am bummed because I need new assemblies anyway, and want the double LED DRL and dynamic turn signals that these offer.

I downgraded my vehicle from LP w/ AFS to EU BiXenon basic standard. HW w/ a selfmade adapter and SW w/ coding. If there's interest I can look into a solution LP to BEC.

Definite interest. I do like the LP features, would it not be possible to transfer the auto level and light cornering hardware to BEC, and just get like a Morimoto 5500 HID kit?

Fantastic. If I knew how to do it, I'd do it. But I don't so I didn't. :(:confused:

Looks so good. almost wish i did NOT have the lighting package just so i could have gone this route - knowing the OEM stuff is still 'better' performance wise.
