Post by: Degudodger on March 08, 2014, 11:07:58 pm: You want to make sure that;

There are no cracks in the plastic
The chrome isn't peeling
All tabs are in tact, if they aren't a repair kit will cost £25 per side
The headlights are complete and come with bulbs as well

You will also need a 12-10 plug adapter as well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Mk5-5-V-Touran-Xenon-headlights-adapter-cable-suitable-for-Bi-Xenon-/181331035079?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a382c03c7 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Mk5-5-V-Touran-Xenon-headlights-adapter-cable-suitable-for-Bi-Xenon-/181331035079?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a382c03c7)

You don't have to run the yellow wire to the CCM it juste means you'll not have xenons on hi beam flash.
