I think they're just like the standard xenon headlights then, unless you're suggesting both "U" things light up like the R xenons. Best to just put up pictures and that'll clear everything up.
Anyway, I had posted in the "
What Accessories are you buying for your MK7 Golf?" thread about these but thought it would be best to put them here too, would be good to see if people are interested to eventually do a group buy. I'm in no rush at the moment but may consider it down the track.
Essentially some guys from Brazil ordered some WinPower xenon headlights for their cars which look good and are reportedly easy to fit. These headlights do not however, from what I understand, have the full headlight self-levelling hardware that would come with genuine units (or those ordered from Kufatec web, refer to post 9:
Xenon Lights + LED DRL retrofit - GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum). The Kufatec headights and all the other accessories end up costing way more than factory optioned xenons, the WinPower lamps cost way less.
Clarification: The contact at WP lamps state they are self-levelling but don't have active corner assist functions.
If you go to this thread (
Xenon Lights + LED DRL retrofit - Page 2 - GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum) you'll see the WP headlights from post 21.
These brazilian guys did a group buy and were able to get them for pretty decent prices. I enquired through the website (with prompt replies from Mark) who told me they can do RHD versions, which essentially means installing the correct cutoff. Everything else remains the same. The kits come with all the connections and should be plug and play. From what I understand (from the GolfMk7 guys who installed these lights) VCDS is required to keep the "U" lights on with the low beam headlights (?).
There are 2 versions but they can only do V2 for RHD markets (for orders of 20 or more).
V1 (R rep) info:

The V1 xenons are apparently low beam only (according post 33, luanf on GolfMk7 thread) and high beam are the solely inner halogen lights.
In the V2 description it states "
High low beam is projector, high beam is halogen bulb only. DRL Two "U" bright, LED one "U" bright, halogen turning light". I asked Mark what they meant by the 2 "U" bright and one LED "U", they stated that both U's have a DRL function where they are on 50% intensity, only one of them has the ability to illuminate to 100%. In the video of the V2 unit, it appears both U's appear equally bright so I'm not sure what they mean by one being LED.
This is a video for V1:

They sent me this link for V2:

Clarification: As per the picture, the V2 xenon is claimed to be bi-xenon with a H7 halogen highbeam for the inner headlight. Both U's are shown to be LED. In the first 12 seconds of the V2 video, you can see light distribution on the glass encasing the xenon and fingerprints on the headlight casing change with the activation of the halogen high beam. Therefore low beam is xenon and high beam is both halogen and xenon.
Screenshots from the V2 video:
V2 DRLs only
V2 DRLs and xenon low beam
V2 DRLs and xenon low beam + (?) parking indicator setting
V2 DRLs, xenon high beam, halogen high beam + (?) parking indicator setting
V2 xenon only
V2 indicator only
Pricing:
GB pricing would be $US385/set, they are usually $US545 a set.
I'm currently clarifying a few other details: If the price mentioned included P&H...
Anyway, I'm also chasing up the forum members on the GolfMk7 website that installed their headlights to see if anyone did a step by step DIY, more pictures of the light output and to see how their headlights progress over the next few months.

... 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.
