test for shutters on xenons

(1/2) > >>

pjh1999:
Hi,
Can anyone help me. I have just bought a set of second hand oem xenon lights off an 07 R32 for my 08 gti. I plan to run the wire back to the highline CECM so I can activate the shutters for high beam xenon light.
I was told by someone in the trade that not all oem MK5 xenon lights were fitted with shutters. Does anyone know how I can test for this without going to all the work of wiring back to the CECM?

Any hep would be appreciated.

Nasir:
An R32 on an 07 plate will most likely have the shutters. If some don't it would most likely have been earlier cars.

pjh1999:
Thanks for the response Nasir. Will be back with how I get on.

All the vw golf xenons had the shutters, although some golfs central electrics module doesn't have the coding for shutters so in essence you would just need a new CECM.

Could you not just wire the shutters to the main beams at the back of the headlights?
