Apparently OEM Xenons alter the beam / height on the fly to the spec of that country (so LHD is higher on the right and RHD is lower ob the left) which is controlled by the module. Using a LHD module with RHD headlights could result in the lights been too high / low on the wrong sides

    Personally I didn't bother with it. I have the Xenons but no auto levelling and haven't had problems. so as long as it is adjusted correctly you should be ok.

    Also another option is to buy them and retrofit halogens which means auto levelling is not a requirement by ADR rules.

    On that note I happen to have a spare set of Xenon headlights that I retrofitted with halogens for a guy on the forum. He didn't want them in the end so I'm selling them to recoup my money. If your interested shoot us a PM
    There's no LHD/RHD light or LHD/RHD module.

    The coding determines whether they're RHD or LHD, you can change it via VCDS (selecting travel mode in lighting on the MFA+ on the GTI does it too). It generally requires security access but I think you can code it once before needing it.

    Sorry just like to correct you there. Though the module may be the same (with different coding) I know for a fact that there are different headlights for LHD and RHD. The beam cut off inside the projector is cut according to LHD or RHD with different part numbers. I know this because I have retrofitted xenons in my car and saw the difference between them.

    Ah, ETKA only seems to list a single model. Either way, you'd be better off going for the Kufatec kit that doesn't have the Xenons.

    I was just linking them for people interested. Read posts more thoroughly my friend.

    Yeah I know you never mentioned it, I started the thread so I've read it. Suppose it was the offering couple of posts back that made me think. Nevermind!

    So,mate you had the halogen headlights first and later you just bought the bi-xenon headlights and retrofitted them using only the adapter???
    Nothing else?
    Please reply!

    Slightly off topic but I will have a set of OEM halogens with all the bits to make it legal for sale soon, I'm parting out a wrecked Gti, will be putting it up in a 'for sale' thread soon. I have the front bumper which is deep black pearl with washers, washer bottle, rear sensor and control module, not sure what else you need to make the system work. But most likely I'll bundle it all together. If anyone else can let me know what you need to make it work then that would be great. Parts are in Melbourne.
