Headlight upgrade for GTI

[zzVertigo]

Hey guys,

New user here so apologies if this ends up being a dupe post or posted in the wrong area. I recently purchased some new headlights for my MK6 GTI. My car has bi xenon lights from factory and I wanted to get something that looks a lil more aggressive + DRLs.

These are the headlights I purchased:

Now the first issue I ran into is I only noticed when it was too late that the connector was for halogen lights. I resolved this by order a cable that converts it from halogen back to bi xenon and that seems to be working fine (including DRL, highbeams and lowbeams AFTER coding some things in VCDS)

Cable I purchased:

The second issue I am facing is with the cable and there is a brown wire that comes out from it and the company that sells this cable provided zero documentation of how to install the cable etc. I have since then left it not connected it to anything and just wrapped it in a few layers of electrical tape to keep it out of the way. (I have hit them up as well via the support email to see if I can get anything out of them)

The third and main issue I am having is the amount of codes related to the auto adjust and other codes related to the high beams, low beams and drls (despite them working totally fine)

Here are some of the fault codes I have from VCDS:
02394 Parking Light Left Front (M1)
02395 Parking Light Front Right (M3)
01495/01499 Bulb for high beams left/right (m30/m32)

The rest of the faults show up on the MFA (from what I described above). If needed I can get pictures of those errors showing up.

I am also going to attach my current long code for the central elec. (09) as an image for reference and the actual long code will be below.

6D180A3F80272AC400880080700089EC40690086534D8D60E48020200040

Any help is appreciated and if one of the solutions is to just return the lights and find something else that is also an acceptable option but I would at least like to attempt to see if there is a work around for them.

Thanks.

possible that with the LEDs for parking lights and high/low beams that they're working fine but pulling too little of current to register as functional. Remember, these cars are intended to work within certain parameters. I wonder if changing the coding from NA to ROW would fix that though? As I recall, installing the euro switch, trigger wire, and LED lights in my parking lights of the OEM bi-xenons required this swap. Might've also been needed for OEM LED tails. Can't really remember.

I wanted plaid seats and sunroof delete, so my only option was the base model with halogens. I had new headlights waiting at my house before I took ownership of my MK7.5. They were cheaper back in 2021 but 100% worth it to me. I'm biased though because I fucking hate halogens.
