Replacing the iconic Volkswagen Beetle back in 1974, the Golf has gone on to win numerous international awards. It has also been Europe’s best-selling car for ten consecutive years. This particular model, the Golf VI/Mk6 5K, combines the trademark handling characteristics of the Golf range with upgraded safety qualities, scoring 36/37 points for occupant protection and a well-deserved five-star Euro NCAP rating. With the Mk6 in production 2009-2012, the lighting technology used in these cars is however over 15 years old today.

Factory-fitted options included H7/H15 halogen and D1S bi-xenon headlights. 

The halogen version features an H7 reflector that produces an average light beam even when new. In many cases, its light output has been further compromised as bulb heat and general ageing cause the reflective layer to peel off.   

The bi-xenon setup features a 3.0-inch projector, designed in the late 90s. These projectors are known to lose their reflective layer right to the point where they become black inside, causing dangerously low light output.

Needless to say, buying new or used original headlights for your Volkswagen Golf VI is not recommended. But there is fortunately no need for that. Whether your car was factory-fitted with H7/H15 halogen or D1S bi-xenon headlights, there are upgrade kits that will fit inside your existing headlights.

These complete retrofit kits not only provide you with superior brightness and durability; they are also more affordable than average Volkswagen Golf xenon headlights with bulbs and ballasts, and since all components are brand new, they come with a 2-year warranty. Additional benefits over OEM headlights include Canbus-proof designs and effortless halogen-to-xenon conversions. What’s more, the levelling systems will work without any adjustments to the headlight connectors, and you can use any ballasts that you might already own to save further on xenon upgrades.

No matter which retrofit upgrade kit you pick, you will improve the light output considerably, making for safer and more enjoyable driving. And, of course, your Volkswagen Golf will look awesome with the luxurious bright light of the latest xenon technology.
