Please see the new add, dated 9/11, 2012 for the latest details, and post any comments in there please.

This thread will be retired in the near future.


Specifications:

  • Appears identical from the front with the OEM VW headlights.
  • Uses a 10 pin connector, just like your halogen headlights. Wont work with OEM Xenons.
  • Uses a D2H or D2S HID bulb. A hole is predrilled to run the wiring for your HID kit.
  • Easy plug and play, may need to code to remove any bulb out errors because of the HIDs.
  • All the other bulbs are included.
  • Made by a different factory than the previous headlights I was selling

Lessons Learned

An initial batch of about 30 lights were shipped direct to customers with lots of reviews and comments.
Issues encountered:

one light was damaged in shipping
one light had a couple of burnt out LEDs
one light had some very superficial scratches on the chrome
a couple lights had the adjusters pop out in shipping, these could easily be pushed back in, so there was no permanent damage
some people had some issues installing the HID bulbs, its a tight fit, and some pressure maybe needed, but they do fit.

No reports of leaks, repeat cosmetic issues, flaky bouncy adjusters.

Option 1 - Original OEM Look - $570 Shipped



Option 2 - Black R OEM look - $500 Shipped



Option 3 - Black R OEM look with 15 LEDs -$610 Shipped



Option 4 - Chrome OEM look with 15 LEDs - $610 Shipped



Price and Ordering

Options 1 $570 shipped

Option 2 $500 shipped

Option 3 and 4: $610 shipped - costs more for the LED components.

Add a Canbus D2H HID kit with your choice of 5000K or 6000K bulbs for $70.

Add a set of LED License plate lights for only $35 if you order a set of headlights.

To order:

Just pm which option you want, and if you want an HID kit plus bulb color plus your full name and email.

Yay for new LED design that has the 15 individual LED lights!!, real replicas.

Do you know if the DRL functions the same as the OEM ones? i.e. LED stays on for DRL and when headlights are on? I know your previous lights were a little different.

Yes, the parking lights (LEDs) light up as your DRLs. You may need to do coding due to the different power requirements between the halogen bulbs and the HID Ballasts.

are you going to be offering the OEM with 15 LED's? I want LED's, but don't want the blacked out R look.

Thanks Ed

I can get you a set or sets, I just need people committed to getting them, it's just there wasnt much interest in them, most ppl prefer the no led version or the black ones.

As for photos of the black with LEDs, they will be coming up once the factory has put them together. This is a special order I'm getting done as no one else had this done before.

Tempting offer, but I have the OEM HIDs in chrome sans LEDs. I wouldn't mind the blacked out look, but am worried about losing quality in light output, etc. Will have to wait on this. Sucks that I kinda went for the package on my car mostly because of the headlights over the halogens. If I had bought the cheaper version and waited a year, I'd be golden on this. Loving the fact that there's not a second projector housing, and has the stock turn signal location now.

Since Halogen Projectors project light differently then HID projectors, are the projectors in this housing designed for Halogen light or HID light?
