Title: Golf Mk5 Gti Retrofit OEM Xenon Headlights
Post by: K9 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

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:
