Golf Mk5 Gti Retrofit OEM Xenon Headlights
« on: November 10, 2014, 07:09:33 pm »
hey guys, i'm sure this have been up alot but my question is just that i bought a set of oem xenon headlight units, came without ballasters, igniters, and bulbs.
So now i'm buying 2x oem d2s ballasters, 2x oem ignitors, kufatec adapters and i need a housing repair set for my right side housing as they are broken. Got the units for around 60£!

They came with high beam bulbs as i checked they where made in germany and philps h7 bulbs. When installing do i need to modify to get the normal halogen highbeam to work or just connect the wires to standard connector when removing oem halogen housings? would like to have the bi-xenon but not sure if my comfort box is the correct one  :sad1:

is this all what i need?

2x oem ballasters
2x oem igniters ( are they teh same for right side housing and left side?? )
1x kufatec pin adapter
2x oem or some aftermarket D2S bulbs in 4300k

thanks for your answers and any helping links and vids or pics are accepted  :happy2:

High beam halogen will work automatically if you don't enable the bi-xenon function, you don't need to run any other wires, all in the kufatec adapters

This should help, complete breakdown of the unit

http://www.partscats.info/volkswagen/en/?i=cat_vag_models&brand=vw&number=1714&set=1731&ein=2008&f=625&hauptgr=1234567890&hg=9&grf=094120420&bf=94120&hgug=941&ug=41&parent_id=2869564

Repair tabs are highlighted and you can pick up the screws etc you need for the ballasts, don't forget the retaining ring for the bulb and igniter  :happy2:
