Title: Bought today Genuine xenons headlights, need help on how to fit them.
Post by: Melkiy on March 03, 2014, 06:19:19 pm
Bought light today from breakers and I know I will need an adapter from 10 to 12 pin, but the wire need to be pulled inside to connect to the system, but how and where it needts to go have no clue and it need to be turned xenons ON on ecu for them to work, anyone know where to get cheap adapter? Saw them on ebay from £40-£60.
If anyone done it before would much appreciate some help  :happy2:

Installed mine a couple of weeks ago, the hardest part is removing the under tray especially the back middle screw!

You need these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Mk5-5-V-Touran-Xenon-headlights-adapter-cable-suitable-for-Bi-Xenon-/181331035079?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a382c03c7 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Mk5-5-V-Touran-Xenon-headlights-adapter-cable-suitable-for-Bi-Xenon-/181331035079?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a382c03c7)

You don't need to run the yellow wire to the CCM but you'll not have Xenons on high beam flash. Xenons will need to enabled using VCDS  :smiley:

Thank you. My mate has VCDS so if I activate the xenon there will they work on full beam? And what is the yellow wire for?
