XENON RETROFIT

Hi guys!
I'm tryin to swap the OEM halogen headlights for the OEM led/xenon headlights, not the replicas or chinese model.
I just found a few problems.
I don't know if any of you have already tried and gave up or not.

-Bought the pair of OEM led/xenon headlights on ebay.
-Bought the adaptor from car4style

I've already replaced the headlight, but the adaptor have 2 differents cables from each side that I have to install inside the car(driver footwel) on the central module BCM. Ok. But the pins that the install guide says is empty.:confused::confused::confused:

To sum up:
Installed without those cables in thought that only the leds will fail until I research and correctly install them. But the xenon is not working too.
The xenon works perfectly with the engine off, when turn on the engine the xenon starts to blink without stop.:mad::mad::mad:

I will continue with the retrofit, and will post some pictures, videos and links to help if someone is with me.
If someone have any information that can helps please do it!

Sorry for the english (lol):):):)

You need to code xenons in the BCM because the xenons take less power than the regular halogens.

Olá João, conseguiu fazer o retrofit? Estou na mesma situação. Eu tenho os faróis originais e os adaptadores, mas liguei e só funcionou a seta. Nem DRL nem Xenon. To pesquisando e parece que vou ter que trocar a BCM do carro, mas só quero trocar tendo a certeza de que funcionará antes de troca.

Quais resultados conseguiu?

Abraços

Hi João, did you do the retrofit? I'm in the same situation. I have the originals xenon DRL headlights and the adapters. I tried to connect in my car, but didn't work. I think I need to change my BCM, but I need to know if it works before swap.

What did you do?

Thank you

You need to code the "xenon with shutter" option in BCM. Also, the 2 wires you need to run to the BCM is also for the shutter most likely. Did this on a previous golf but should be the same on mk7.

I want to buy the same lights that the gtd gti and r have to my mk7 gttdi. Is it simple as 1 in 1 out and do you have a link where I could buy them from?
Thank you
