No its different.
I just stick on LED bar and board in original light. So it doesn't cost that much.

Can you explain some more how you went about doing this ?? So you pulled the original light apart ? :/

One of my friends built up LED bars on metal board to put in original light.
It doesn't need to make hole, replace with somethings or cording. Just connect & play.

Hoping someone can help.

How do the bi-xenon headlight washers work on the Golf? I previously owned a Mini and the washer function would occur when you held the windscreen stalk towards you for a period of 3+ seconds in conjunction with cleaning the windscreen. I have tried this, the windscreen washers work but nothing on the headlights.

Is there a button hiding or is there a setting in the main display I need to select? Just hoping it's not a fault.

Thanks in advance!

they will wash on the first wash upon start of vehicle then every 5 washes there after.. count resets when vehicle is restarted. you can adjust this 5 number of washes with vcds.

As booba said every 5th wash but on my Mk7 R they will only activate if the headlights are turned on. On my Mk6 R they activated every 5th wash regardless.

Thanks for this.

I have attempted to use the windscreen washers upon vehicle start up... nothing. In saying this, with lights always in the 'auto' position, it was daytime, with only running lights on... perhaps it does only work when the physical lights are on.

I will give it another go and see what happens!

Yes - the headlights have to be actually on. I had a headlight washer repaired and it took me quite a while to figure out how to test it - Thought it would be like the Mk6 - but it's not.

... 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!
