Nice install video . How do we adjust the pattern and what should the cutoff pattern look like? Can’t find anything about this problem. Constantly getting flashed.

[@Laterkevn]

Would these fit and replace mk7 xenon lights?

[@sirmontecristo2808]

If you are watching this video in 2018 and you decide to order them, make sure you wait until your receive the headlights to order the HID conversion kit. I made the mistake of ordering the H7 bulbs HID kit, and they didn't fit because newer headlights come for D2S bubls. After ordering the right part I just gotta say absolutely love them. The D2S bulbs fit right in and the lights look awesome. On any informational sign you will see a purple reflection that turns blue then mostly white. Combine the new lights with the fog lights and the car looks totally meaner. Next upgrade, springs, to make those reflections bounce quicker. Another note, you can easily remove the bumper by yourself. Thank you DAP, this was a great upgrade to my Mk7.

[@tallalmoshrif6643]

Hi am about to order a pair of Helix for my MK7 that came with regular halogens. My question is what is this kit that everyone buy for a hundred dollars on the top of this one am a little bit confused?

[@wimaxxx1234]

Hi,do you need only D2S beans or some wirening like for does xenon benas that we put on halogen lights?

[@minibx6659]

I have the same lights and they work as advertised, no coding. Love the look of the U shaped LEDs it really changes the look of the car, notice that if you want the stripes on the headlights to align with the grill you will need to buy a lighting package Grill but to be honest is so minimal that you have to be really OCD not to keep the non LP grill

[@rekrobi]

+MiniBX Are low beam xenon hid bulbs? Do i have to buy new headlight module if current don't support xenon?

[@minibx6659]

+Robi Rek You will need to add the HID bulbs & balast yourself or you can use Halogen H7 bulbs call shopDAB and should help you with that

[@TheSweetboy24]

Can you tell us how to order them? And does the dealership in the country support this?

[@nicks2547]

Honestly I’m a dumbass. I almost lost my mind trying to figure out why I was getting low beam error codes then after watching this video I figured you you need to PLUG THE HALOGENS IN. OMFG. I love you thank you so much!

[@nicocelentano21]

Did you order straight from the site. Was the process of ordering easy never heard of this website so nervous.

[@nicks2547]

@@nicocelentano21 no I have not but I’ve heard great things about their site. The process should be fairly normal with just putting a valid card and proceeding to checkout. I would recommend creating an account to get tracking notifications. Definitely go with the headlights too they looks awesome.

[@mygot6471]

My dad got them for me as a graduation gift, unfortantly he didn't get them from you guys, but I he got the gti style with the red stipe.

[@HumbleMechanic]

Love those headlights.

[@Sijray21]

HumbleMechanic or Deutsche Auto Parts (Paul) I'm getting a dark spot in the middle of the beam projection and it appears the passenger side light beam is shifted to the right when compared to the driver's side beam. Do either of you know how to adjust the side-to-side projection for the low beam for these headlights? I can try to loosen the headlight housings, but they appear straight. I saw the high/low adjustments for the high & low beans, but I didn't notice a side to side adjustment. Fwiw it's on a golf sportwagen. They look great, otherwise. Amazing looking headlamps.

[@alainguillemette7680]

Can you please make a video of how to install an led bulb conversion?

[@joshuakerstein9573]

Yes

[@feedingfiction]

I’m just going crazy right now trying to figure out how he got the grill out that easily

[@bradleylefika9209]

He's a Savage 😂😂😂😂

[@dasjefe]

4000 miles on my MK7 and spiders have already crawled inside of my headlights and died. Great video as always. I should have bought a Honda.

[@aoj-dh3qx]

Then you'd have dead spiders in your Honda headlights.

[@alsal30]

Hi would you know which bulb specifications are used for the xenon headlight replacements? My bulbs are fading and need to replace them.

[@hunthigh21]

Are the low beams the bulb that gets swapped over? Because those low beams were definitely not halogens.

[@Peacemaker2]

tyler dollar the low beams are led and come with the lights

[@FinalFormation]

The low beams are supposed to be swapped over and yes it definitely looks like they used HIDs in the demonstration at the end.

[@FinalFormation]

@@Peacemaker2 Nope, the low beam bulbs have to be swapped over.

[@CecilSaxon]

THOSE HEADLIGHTS ARE HUGE!!!!

[@lamthekhang]

I saw you have the oem euro golf r headlight on your website. I am wondering if you are going to make a video installing those oem headlight on your gti mk7.

[@leetodd7423]

I followed this to remove my mk7 GTI bumper this morning. I noticed I couldn’t remove my bumper following the steps of just unclipping, when I had a further look... I had two more T25 screws attaching the bumper, underneath where the grill is removed from. Just in case anyone else might have the same thing!

[@alexvargas5550]

Thanks for the thorough explanation . One my U shaped DRL is toasted and shows error on my obc. What should i do about? Is there any fix or bulb to change?? Thank you

[@reymarrealista9485]

Do you have video of the wiring and removing AFS warning?

[@rdpilot2404]

Do you have a picture of the end result when the lights are on? I wonder how the shine on the road.

[@eppyz]

I am assuming you would need to align the headlights. Video on how to align them properly? Thank You. No Vagcom required for these ?

[@smvogel73]

Hi Paul....as always, thanks for all that you do in educating us on our MK7's. These videos are truly priceless and immeasurably helpful . I do have a quick question.....so I have a base S model Mk7 and the one thing I can't stand about this base lighting package is that the stock halogens have that "yellow" appearance to them and, in tandem with the fogs (which are bright white LEDs), there is a stark difference in the color tone of the lights. These Helix aftermarkets look like a great option to eliminate that since the low-beams are LEDs too; however, when the hi-beams are engaged (and I'm understanding that we are using the stock hi-beam "yellow" bulb in the swap-over), does it still have that yellowish halogen appearance coming thru the middle of that low-beam LED? I know there won't be a disparity with thye fogs cuz they will extinguish when hi-beams are engaged....but I'm wondering if I now will have to deal with the disparity of the yellow halogen hi-beams workign in tandem with the bright white low-beam LED?

[@eval7952]

When are u guys getting those again? They’ve been out of stock for a while.

[@eval7952]

Silk Content is that the same ones !!!! I’ve been looking at those for weeks,it does say helix but their pictures look weird, as if they had black housings. (Thanks for answering, can u send me the link just to be 100% sure )

[@eval7952]

Silk Content thank u so much. Did u get them recently ? I got the 7.5 a year ago but don’t like it too much cause I bought the ones w the black housing by mistake, so I’m paranoid to buy something wrong. And I like the original look headlights. Make sure to put protection ceramic protection on lenses, I will do so every 6 months this time around. I put protection and one headlight worn out a little hole a year in.

[@eval7952]

Silk Content ur right, I can always return and just pay the shipping. I think I’m gonna go for it and just sell the ones I have for cheap. Thanks so much.

[@eval7952]

Silk Content he’ll yeah I’m Going for them! Look so good. The red wouldn’t fit mine I don’t have any more red trimming, have to get the clear ones.

[@joaopaulocunha7177]

is it safe to use led on this headlights or can they demage the module?

[@PhyoAung21]

Looks like you swapped the halogen bulb during install, and at the end of the video low beams are white? Would I need to get a HID kit to make it look like the lights at the end of the video?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+Phyo Aung Yes the operation video has HIDs installed. You could also swap in a cooler temp halogen bulb to get the blue/white effect

[@patrickokeeffe6998]

Would be great if you could do a video on removing the golf7 back bumper so as to perfectly seal all water ingress points.. some people recommend windscreen sealant that remains softish others recommend silicone and also I've seen waterproof foam for around lights. Silicone grease too but I'm afraid water washes it aware

[@wahchupdood]

Does this work for the 2017 Golf comfortline? I was also wondering, do you need any conversion kits or hid kits to work for the new headlights? or would purchasing the headlights work by itself as plug and play? Sorry, im new to these things.

[@charliekeith2157]

so now if you need to change the bulb, you have to take off the whole headlight assembly again?

[@jonathanclarkewater]

I would have liked to see how the old lights looked versus the new lights. To see if they look better or worse. Do the new ones light up the road better at night and how much $ are they if I was to take the whole front of the car apart and fit them myself?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Links to both of the headlights are in the description, you can find a price there. We installed the HID kit in our headlights which is brighter than the original lights.

[@cascarado]

Hi, thanks for the video. I really like the look of the DRL with these headlights. I have a US mk7 GTI S, and it already has a red stripe on the grille. Will the red stripes on these headlights align with the red stripe on the grill, or do you still need the main grille assembly for have an aligned red stripe line?

[@allanpagtama4612]

+cascarado have you done your headlight conversion?im thinking of doing mine but not sure if i would need a new grill.seems like the red stripe won't match if you get the DRL.let me know thanks

[@jeelu666]

Hi Paul is there any way I can change us to uk system without changing headlights Please please reply

[@codeblueblack]

Is this the same process for a mk7.5 GTI?

[@aaronletchford]

are the 7.5 lights the same or any easier

[@Snipereye64]

what happens if one of the bulbs in the new headlights blows/can they blow?

[@smithydandy731]

Where is the exact DRL "U" shape bulb for the xenon style headlight housing? My driver side went dark but passenger side still functions.

[@Smoovindecat]

Hello guys, do they do a lens replacement for the golf gti headlight? Mine has a crack (not a scratch) and is there a tutorial? Cheers👍🏽

[@cedricbench2543]

do you have a video for the golf r?

can you post full headlight illumination of the wall the cutout

[@TylerWong24]

Do you have a link for me to purchase these? I do have halogens so these are perfect instead of a hid kit

[@jannathanbasbas4440]

Do you know anything about the Spyder headlights? I was told they were plug and play but I can't find a video on it at all.

[@douglasduch3337]

grear tuto, i a question, it's it possible to remove the plastic grill of the fog light without removing the all front bumper. want to do some carbon covering on those. thanks

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+Douglas Duch Im sorry we have not done this so we are not sure.

[@TaefDewan]

Is this possible to do on a 2014 Volkswagen Golf MK7 1.6L SE Bluemotion Manual?

[@SH-le4bm]

Taef Dewan yes it’s possible

[@SH-le4bm]

You can buy it from eBay

[@rickyj2013]

Do these lights have the "steering" bulb? If so do you need to code to turn that feature on?

[@iceriddenviking]

What hid bulbs are you using with these?? Looks awesome!

[@apollocloud3085]

Just installed these and a word of advice if you do get the opportunity to purchase a pair of these headlights be sure to be ready to spend the money on the accompanying HID kit as anything less will result in dangerously dim beam patterns DO NOT SWAP OVER THE H7 that is from the OEM headlight housing and place them in the new housing YOU MUST ORDER D1S OR HID KIT!

[@ostinolson6579]

Can these headlight place the lighting package ones the car comes with? I’m new with a mk7 gti and heard there wasn’t much options for the lighting package besides OEM

[@KApplication94]

is there lose in the illumination at low and high beams ?

[@VAGtuner]

This style looks much better than MK7.5

[@badboy4lyfe88]

If my car vw golf 7 has yellow color halogens as standard and not white, i need to buy a white halogen bulb too right? Thanks!

[@AGALIANO16]

will these headlights fit a 2016 (facelifted) jetta 1.8 sport

[@vrpinky22]

Hey how about in a day time how is your LED shining? Is it strong enough? Like originals? And what about low beam how is that light shines on the road can you c good at night because I know some ppl that bought aftermarket lights and the lighting is SUCK and you can't c nothing at night

[@edgardiaz784]

I’ve had these headlights for 2 years now, amazing headlights but one SMALL thing, it recently started raining where I’m from and I noticed condensation in the passenger side headlight, is this normal ? Or any reason this could happen?

[@supra1102]

What air filter is installed on that gti ? And how do you like it ? Maby a link would be nice

[@jcdenton3062]

So reistors for dlr and indicators are built in?

[@mygot6471]

I just bought a set of these! What position does the h7 bulb go in the low beam? There is no socket for the pin that sticks out on the bulb. Also, the 2 adjustment on the back are for the projector low beam correct?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Email us with your order number so we can determine which headlights you purchased from us.

[@swogettiswindon8162]

Do these have all the requiered paperwork for use inside the EU?

[@arsalkarima3507]

If I want to buy a xenon hid kit what size they should be ? H7 ? I don't want to use the old halogen bulb Thank you

[@Boatshedding]

Hey just one question, I have the helix lights im 99% sure (bought them from an ebay vendor and they are identical to helix) they can't be ed's because the indicator section matches the helix lights. My question is, whenever the main beams are on the drl's pretty much turn off (or dim to like 5% brightness value). Where in your video the drl's stay on with the main beam. Ive tried vcds but cant fix it.

[@mgdll]

so this is what it looks like without the HID kit, right? also, are those the golf r headlights?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

mgdll our car did have the HID kit at the time of the operation part of the video

[@richardseidman8801]

I had an MK 5 jetta and made the mistake of installing LED lights into standard OE lens (non-projector). When it rained, the light would refract in such a way that it was down right dangerous. Now I have an MK6 Jetta SE. Can you recommend an upgraded lens and zenon kit for this vehicle? My 2002 Audi TT has the best zenon lighting OE. I would like to come close with the jetta too! Thnx, RS.

[@MACPCOSX7]

So do you intend to get more of the ones with the red strip in stock? I've also heard the red doesn't line up. Is that true with your lights?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

MACPCOSX7 We plan to get more but we don't have an ETA yet. We hope to have some roughly 30 days from now. Take a look here for the grille info youre looking for kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJeupGSKa6ysic0

[@erniemtz]

do guys that already have the Lighting Package have no choice but to upgrade to OEM Golf R headlights if they want the both LED U's to light up?

[@ivofernandes88]

My exact question, it's sad that the original headlight only lit up one U led :(

[@ryohei47]

Paul, are you using a drill or an impact driver?

[@973Rockboy]

Would these fit in a 2018 gti with normal halogen bulbs ? I really want these headlights

[@trippspeed]

Paul, my GTI is LP and I am trying to find the best way to get the inner and outer LED DRL. With these assemblies, can't I just swap over my LP parts?

[@carlitros4212]

can i buy this for a 2015 vw golf manual tsi S? do i have to change the grille for the light lining to match on the grille?

So these don't come with dual projectors like all the rest?

[@yapox8385]

mine came with bi xenon 1 drl factory, which one is a good aftermarket option for double drl ?

Hi.

I need the low beam to go up. I have also tried to trick the car lighting, putting the switch on 3, then unplugging the lights going back in the car putting the switch on 1 the re-plugging the lights thinking the lights will stay up, but they just go down again. so need your help..

does it need recode or is it straight fit

[@KesongChenWang]

Thank you so much for the amazing tutorial. I had the helix mk7.5 headlights installed by local mechanics and they didn't tell me they changed the H4 bulbs to H7 bulbs. I pulled the bumper and had to go out and get H7 bulbs smh. The only problem I had was installing the lower bumper screws, the factory locations were stripped from the mechanic. I had to drill new locations to fit the screws. Still better than spending $125 to get the bulbs replaced. I'll be looking into getting a Toyota tacoma, I'm so sick of all of the proprietary parts and tools of German cars. The Mercedes I own is just as bad. I enjoy the speed and acceleration of my 406 whp mk7 gti but I'd much rather have something easy to work on. Even oil changes are a bitch with the special tools and parts. I'd like to have a car where you can find all maitence parts at autozone instead of the stealership or ECS/urotuning.

[@csl223]

May be a silly question, but would these work on cars with automatic headlights (i.e. 2017 golf wolfsburg)?

[@Lynnch244444]

Is there anyway for the middle bulb to actually function as a cornering light like the OEMs?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+Mario DiNicuolo Not as far as we know

[@Lynnch244444]

yes i heard about them but i might be leaning more towards Unitronic because i read that they have additional functionalities such as no lift shifting. did you anyway hear about eurodyne offering something like that?

[@vladbucica4825]

i have the bixenon headlights but i don t have LED DRL , is there any option for me to upgrade to this setup?

[@kennynerojr.]

Hey, DAP I have a '16, black GTI and am looking at either the red stripe helix lights or the black ones. If I go with your red ones, I'll need the proper grille you sell as I want everything to line up so it doesn't look silly. If I go with the black ones, will I need a new grille or will the black ones sort of blend in with the car? Thanks, looking forward to upgrading the lights!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

If you go with the black the line in the headlights still wont line up with the grille but the fact they are black means it wont be nearly as obvious. Thanks for watching and hope that helps.

[@kennynerojr.]

Thanks! I'll make a game time decision this summer on which route to take. The red accents and matching grille may look good with the blacked out VW badges. Anyway, thinking out loud -- thanks again.
