LED DRL for non-R MK6 Golf (OEM VW included)

[v0a]

You'd want to be pretty keen though, I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap to do.

I would have to agree, depends how much $$ you have and how much you need to have these

Cost is around $1100-$1400 for retrofit (if you have bi-xenon's already and software 0575 or later)

edit: i should say cost is for parts sourced overseas you'll prob pay around double or even triple here

I have been driving to work every day and passing a red GTI, new this year, with the Bi-Xenons and LED DRLs. Have to say it gives the GTI a massive pop in terms of front visuals.

Had a builder reverse a tray truck into my GTI bonnet last month (OUCH). Enquired as to whether it is possible to retrofit LED DRLs after the smash, with Barloworld VW - who replied that it is not. (I have halogens).

guys there's lots of speculation here about costs, hassle etc. but has anyone actually bought a set of these for Aus use and installed them yet? I've seen a thread about LED tail lights but can't make head (or tail) of that either! Would be good to geto some prices and hard facts about the install - a decent sticky post maybe?

From what I can see, if you already have the Bi-Xenon headlights, then it should just be a ~$1500 for the new DRL Bi-Xenon lights plus a coding change.

If you don't already have the Bi-Xenon headlights, then it'll cost a minimum of $3,000 to fit them and make the car road-legal.... if you can even find all the parts and can do the labour yourself etc.... it's really no different in that case to any other regular headlights to Xenon projection conversion.

What about a straight swap for standard GTI headlamps for a set of the Dectane's with LED DRLs?

You may be best to ask Dectane. I don't seeing a member commenting on purchasing a set, or mentioning it in their sig, or pictures etc.
