hey guys was wondering if this can be done? i can get my hands on a set of Golf MK6 Ballast and bulbs, is it as easy as plugging in oem light plug to the ballast?

thanks.

If you mean a gas discharge D1S bulb in place of the halogen H7 bulb - then no. It's not as simple as plug and play.

In any case, unless you don't require your car to be roadworthy, I wouldn't.

For the Golf and Tiguan, the factory headlamp assembly for gas discharge bulbs is different (projector type) compared to that for halogen bulbs (reflector type), so you'll need to buy the entire headlamp housing - though aftermarket ones usually come with ballasts.
