UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi all

Small update, I was able to find a pair, brand new and here in Ireland for 200€ - one of the garages near home was asking for 600€ as according to them, the only option was to get the part via VW...hehe. Bit of etka online and some searching saved me a bit of money.

I’ve installed the two ...

There you go - even easier!!

As far as I know, the BT unit for the 6R's is a separate module that you can buy and install...not sure if the 6C head units came with built-in BT

If I'm not mistaken, iichel did something similar...remember seeying something on his main car thread - worth checking. --> https://uk-polos.net/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=65724

And as in general, you'll prob need to disassembly every component and swap the leds inside manually (soldering, etc...). Don ...

Hi Hollie_

Can you tell us what sort of headlight you currently have? Is the unit with big turn signal, DRL and just one bulb for low beam (H4)? or is it the dual-bulb unit with the turn signal at the bottom?

Have you tried to do a check at night, and see if there's any difference?



Thanks!

Hi RobertVW ,

Yep, 2nd hand units are a viable option for sure :-), no need to go "all-in" with new ones. I'll have a look at ebay down the line as well as some places around Dublin to see if I can source a pair for a good price, loads of Polo's around so should be fairly easy.

Thanks! :)

No you don't need an adapter if you want to install 6C Halogen H7 headlights, it's plug and play.

The screws are for adjustment, but I doubt they can convert from LHD to RHD. But I'm not 100% sure about this.


Thanks for the info iichel - Then the headlight swap it's cheap & easy in case I need ...

Hi All,

Would anyone know if this could be used for adjusting the beam pattern? The two on top I'll guess are for the standard light and the one below with just one knob would be the high-beam... :|

Also, in case I swap the headlights - do I need an adapter if ...

You'll need to swap the headlights for a pair of RHD ones.
I'm not sure what the best way to proceed is, perhaps selling the car in mainland europe and buying a proper RHD car is the best way to go?


Hi iichel!

Yeah, that was my first thought - but there's an item inside the Owners Manual that ...

Hi!

Well, thanks for all the input and info... guess I'll need to wait till the lock-down finishes and book time with the local garage to find out if I'm able to adjust or if I need to order a new pair...


Regards!

Hello everybody!!

Been a looooong time since I last posted something, let's say I went on a retirement from all the VW forums a while ago... :roll: - checking from time to time (to see how @Ciclo mod list grows...), but now I would appreciate any input as I'm facing a small dilemma. Last year my ...
