LED / HID Conversion

Update : 9 Sep 2014 

The hardening of the insulation for the wiring inside the VW Headlights is a common problem on some earlier 2005 to 2011 models.  Other models may also be affected. Quality of the wires used may be in question. 

This is a potential fire hazard or electrical short circuit in the headlights. The city/parking light is especially prone to this problem on the Golf 5, Jetta 5, Passat and other models.

Remove the lights on this Mk5 2009 GTI and found the wires almost shorting together due to the insulation being deteriorated.  Only the length nearest to the bulb seems to be hardened and brittle.  We taped up the affected length with head resistance insulating shield tape.  Believe that the heat created by the bulb may be the cause of the deterioration.

Upgraded the City/Parking Light Bulb which is originally fitted with a T10 Halogen bulb to a CREE-5 bulb which is very bright and is error free.


View when cap was removed. 


The Grey Wire is 12 volts positive is already partially exposed
A blue glass T10 halogen bulb was installed earlier.

Tape the affected length of wire with heat insulating shield tapes.
The CREE-5 LED bulb is used.
The CREE-5 Bulb creates less heat but is very much brighter

The new CREE-5 Bulb in action ! 

Bright enough to be used as DRL bulbs on the GTI

TIGUAN AFS : Adaptive Forward Lighting System ( Bend Light )



We fitted a 2013 Tiguan with the AFS Bend Lights. A relative straight forward install except for the Basic Setting requirement.  It is impossible currently using the VCDS to do.....unfortunately.

Replacement of the Central Electric Module ( CEM or BCM ) is not required.  The rear levelling sensor, harness, range module, headlights with LED module, Xenon ballast, can bus cabling and related parts are contained in the kit.

To get that original DRL LED look, the headlights can be replaced by these assemblies. It works 100% like original.  No error code would be triggered. Original headlight are fitted with H7 Halogen bulbs for main and high beam.  

A free option to upgrade to 6000K High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulb for main beam is provided. 

Installation is relatively simple without the need to remove the bumper assembly and done within an hour. 

They are on indent basis and must be installed in the tiny island state of S'pore







The HID kit are converted on the original H7 Halogen lights.  Very neat and tidy look with the ballast hidden inside for that original and neat look ! No exposed wires or ballast.
