GTI Xenon headlights on 6C

Post by aaygen »

Hi all,
I'm planning to get a set of 6R GTI headlights for my 6C 1.2 TSI. I'll either get the OEM headlights or an aftermarket replica, as I've seen many people around where I live use them.
I have a question for each set:
1- I've been told that the OEM xenons are almost plug&play, just the socket adapters and some coding are required to run them.(No change to the BCM) Is this the case? My car has H7 halogens if that helps.
2- If I get the replicas, I need to change my coding to be able to make the DRL's work as original. Does anyone know the coding for disabling the DRL's in the bumper, making the park/city lights the DRL and dimming the parking lights?
Also, any advice would be appreciated on replica GTI headlights. I'm leaning towards those as OEM's are really hard to grab here in Turkey.
Thanks in advance
