Xenon headlight lug repair kit - info needed

[DamoP]

have you got the retro fit loom?

No. Is this the kuftatec adaptors or the loom to the rear level motor? I was hopeful to pull the wiring for both units and perhaps skip on the kuftatec adaptors.

I haven't seen any info on whether this is possible and will need the kuftatec adaptors if so!

2 separate issues. i have a set of retro fit looms with the shutter wire I'm not going to fit to mine if you need them

Cool, send me your price via pm.

Well picked up the lights yesterday afternoon - for £70 I think I've got myself a relative bargain.

Both lights tested and xenons are lighting up great.

Passenger side was as expected - simple lug repair needed and it'll be working fully - no damage at all to the main unit itself.






The driver side was also as expected - completely fubared!






The frame which secures the projector into position has snapped off though.



All of the internals are there though, so I'm now after a shell to fit them into.




Can I use a Depo headlight with the original xenon parts? Would it contain the frame to replace on the projector unit itself?

Or would this even be a match?

Either that or wait until I can find a faulty xenon on eBay or from a member.

You did well there I'd say Ross  Did you get the levellers as well?

Just wait for a drivers side shell IMO, you shouldn't need the projector, normally all they need is ballast and igniter/ bulb, obviously hold on to the lot until you know for sure.

[Rossimac]

Ahh okay, so would there be room for my ballast/igniter/bulb? Would I have to do a 6 oclock mod on a Depo?

Prefer to wait for a Hella shell to have consistency.

The levellers? He wasn't too sure where they were located. I said there was 1 sensor on the rear suspension, but he was adamant it was a little box above the driver's front wheel. Turns out it was the alarm he gave me.

He said he'll post it to me if I can give him information on where the sensor is exactly when he gets the car on a forklift this week.

If anyone can give me a breakdown of what to ask for - that would be ace...

See if you can get the AFS module also, it's behind the small panel on the end of the glovebox (opposite one from the fuse box)

Just get yourself a loom then from Kufatec and your away

Cheers freddy!

What does the AFS module do? Is it important for xenon install?

P.S. Iridium Plugs worked well 

[fab5freddy]

It's for the levellers, not needed if your just fitting the headlights, but if you negotiated the levellers in the 70 quid I'd be trying get a hold of them, even if you don't fit them yourself, you could flog them on for good few quid

I couldn't see much on the AFS module with regard to the golf mk5 on google.

Is the module in this thread the part you mean? Cheers again.

[fab5freddy]

That's the one
