Projector lights guide

[GTI DAZ]

hi all, im looking into retro fitting projector lights, is it a simple plug and play? or will i need coding?

[RetroRaz]

Fitting wise its straight plug in. I would definitely get it coded, its only 1 check box.

Ive had 2 depo sets and  recently switched from a HID kit to a LED bulb. Better light output and no need to worry about mounting ballasts anywhere.

perfect Raz, thank you, so id be ok to get them, fir them with standard bulbs for now, drive to someone to code them and then get LED bulbs?

[RetroRaz]

Yes you should be ok, as stock lights dont draw a lot of current compared to HIDs. But the light output on normal h7 bulbs in projector lights isnt any better than reflector headlights

These are the LEDS I bought

they standard fitment? no modding of housing or connector?

[RetroRaz]

Yep, standard H7 fitment. They might be tricky to fit when the headlamps are on the car. much easier if they are off the car.

Just make sure the projector headlight you get have H7 fitment

i know my cousin is after a set at the moment and from what I can see they are currently sold out.

Eurowagens is the seller who I normally buy them from

Did you go from a 35w HD kit Raz?

All the YouTube reviews show HIDs to be brighter.

[RetroRaz]

Yes 35w 5000k was the hid kit from hids direct

What do you have to change in vcds? I only have vcds lite would I be able to do this.?

You have to tick the box that says xenon without shutters installed. Its either in central electrics or central convenience module.

Not sure if lite version would do it to be honest
