Golf MK7.5 Aftermarket LED Headlights Upgrade

Hi all,

I am looking to upgrade my MK7.5 halogen headlights to the new LED Headlights. I am after a bit of buying advice. I have found these headlights on eBay which seem like a fair deal to me. It says that they are plug and play and that they should not require coding. I'm not an expert so I'm interested to know second opinions as to whether they are genuine or whether I should stay away from them.

Obviously they're not genuine, but that's not to say they're not any good.

I've bought aftermarket Mk7 style LED headlamps from eBay and they've been decent.. I can't speak for these though.

Thanks for your response.



I brought the lights in the end and they arrived today. They already have a hole with a grommet in the back of them ready for an HID kit, would you be able to recommend or suggest one that I should get?

The morimoto elite D2S Kit is generally your best option. I just bought the helix mk7.5 headlights and ran into issues getting the d2s bulb into the headlight housing socket though. Not sure why it wouldn’t fit. D2S is the correct HID kit to get for this headlight though. If anyone knows why the notches wouldn’t line up for me to be able to screw the bulb into the socket let me know.
