Headlights - Discussion and Questions

[Dutch77]

^ will be interesting to see if these can make it into a retrofit headlight unit down the track that wouldn't require the wash kit and therefore make it a cost effective option, dependent on actual lighting performance. Particularly if they can do a version without a red line.

Hey guys,

I have watched with a lot of interest the talk on if the second Inner U on Xenons can be turned on like a golf R, I had given up then on car sales I find a dealer car that has Xenons with a second U, it is a dealer car so I don't think a dealer has swapped Golf R headlights ..

Or was it a factory mistake ..



Or do we not give up hope...

When I found out the second U is "fake" it did kind of anger me because we paid a lot of money for what is now half a set of Xenon lights.
Having said that I still prefer them over the halogen lights.

I'm not sure the inner U in that picture is on. It could just be the ambient light

I think that's just the reflections off the sun. It is pretty much the same hardware except the R has the LED lights on the back while the rest don't

... Just checked my 2014 Golf 103TSI Highline | DSG | Limestone Grey Metallic | Leather | Sunroof | Bi-Xenons | Alarm | Tints... and to my surprise it has two U lamps. Both lamps light up also.

Our vehicle was accidentally fitted with the high beam assist feature that is not available in the Australian market. Sales guy only realised when he was showing us the thru the vehicle upon delivery. Their loss is our gain!

I'm sure everyone else on the forum also wants to see plenty of picks of your unicorn golf! Preferably as many of the headlights as possible.

The U lamps light up, one at a time... if this is what you are referring to. One during the day and then one at night when the auto function kicks in.

I posted this before somwhere, Golf7forums states that it's just an empty tube with no hardware inside. Only the R has additional lights.
