UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi everyone!!

I've got a Polo GTI 6R and looking to change the headlight to a LED one, or the same one as the new GTI 6c has got. I've looked EVERYWHERE online for this, and just wondering if this is possible??

Much appreciated!

Yes, @iichel did it in his 6R. You need to change BCM.

I'm not sure yet about the BCM change, whether it's really needed. If you have xenon now, maybe it will work without change. If you have halogen headlights now, for sure you need a BCM change.

Thanks for the replies!

This is my current headlights.


Is changing the BCM a big job? Are there any instructions on this forum? Like has anyone done it on this and posted a step by step? And just to confirm if i change the bcm will i be able to fit the same headlight as the new polo 6c has??

Thanks for your help!

Those are Halogen headlights. Changing them to LED is possible but it will involve a lot of wiring for the headlight range regulation, and running the lights for low beam, parking lights and DRL to and from the BCM

Ahhh right okay! In that case I think i'll leave it, sounds too complicated for me, I dont want to start something and finding out half way throught that I dont know what I'm doing! Haha!

Cheers for your help mate

Is it possible to fit these on??

Been looking online and came across these! Would they work or no?

Cheers

I wouldn't do it, you'll probably never get that sharp but it will be blurry

As iichel says. the light will never be good because the dishes in your headlight is designed formthe light outputfrom a halogen bulb that emits light all the way around and not an LED bulb which only emits light from a few fixed points.

Thanks for the advice lads!!

What about changing from the halogen to the bi xenon LED DRL then? Is that just a swap? Or is there a lot of wiring and do I have to change the BCM etc with that aswel??

Cheers!!
