Title: Xenon & Standard Headlight Swap
Post by: G60s GO on November 07, 2010, 11:00:54 pm

Help & Advice needed guys.

How easy or possible is it to swap these over?
(Xenons from one car, with standard lights from another) Standards on my Edition 30, Xenon's from my Mk5 GTI which will be up for sale......

I know that the Kufatec loom is required for the Xenon's on the normal car, but what loom if any, do i need for the standard lights?

I'm no automotive electrician, hence why I need you guys to lend me your expert knowledge :happy2:

I doubt there is a wiring loom to put normal lights on a xenon wired car!   :grin:

I have no idea BTW not tried it, I guess it would depend if plugs are the same just with different wiring, I know you need to run two extra wires to the CECM to get the high beam shutters to work.  You would also need to add the adjustment switch from the ED into the GTI so the headlights can be manually adjusted.

Thanks Rich  :grin:

I thought this might be the case, guess i'll leave the Xenons on the car and look to buy a set off ebay etc, for the Eddy, (including all the washer system and auto leveling goodies) :happy2:
