Hey, I have a Mk7 GTI with halogen headlights and I've used this video to remove one of them to properly install a led bulb on the high beam. Although it was a PITA your video helped a lot, I didn't removed completely the bumper but it went well in the end. Keep making the mods and thanks for sharing the videos! Greetings from Brazil.

Lights look great! I've been sub'd to your channel for the last few months (when I bought my '17 GSW 4-Motion) and have really appreciated the content. Thanks! I installed the Ed's MK7.5 style lights a few weeks ago and have been looking for something for comparison. I noticed that the Helix's have brighter DRL's. My Ed's DRL's are not as bright and are slightly blue. However, I LOVE the LED "bulbs" that came pre-installed in the Ed's. Great projector pattern (super-bright, but super-focused) and I love how the high-beam projectors slightly illuminate when they're not technically 'on'. I strongly considered the Helix's because of the interchangeable bulb capability, but having read lots of good stuff about Ed's after-sale support, I'm confident about the purchase. Next up, this spring: 18-inch wheels (I'm on the lookout for VW Laguna's), and getting rid of a fists worth of fender-gap. Cheers!

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Glad to have you along for the ride. I do like the high beam "always" you mentioned of the Ed's. I may be looking into the LED conversion in the future as well. The Ed's have alot of great reviews and seem to be the favorite amongst GSW/Alltrack peeps. The Lagunas are going to look great! Can't wait to see it!

Thanks! @@DadWagon I haven't gotten into the VW forums yet, as all I've done are the lights and 30% tint (which taking into account the factory UV tint, is more like >25% - rollin' dirty, hahah!). I'll post pics when I get wheels/tires, and send you a link. I'm thinking 225/45's (or wider) on 18's and keeping the suspension stock (for now) as I actually like the 'squishy' ride compared to my previous car - a turbo-swapped Forester 2.5XT on a JDM STI wagon suspension set-up... that beat the crap out of me while driving on Seattle's virtually unmaintained streets, hahah!. Looks like you've run a couple different wheel/tire combos on your Sportwagen(?). Happy with the set-ups?

Any output shots of the beam/pattern?

I spent quite a bit of time getting this right. It was a matter of loosening all the bolts, getting them in the position you want, and then slowly torquing each of the bolts down to keep them in place until fully bolted in.

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the dynamic effect of the headlights/taillights? Maybe with OBDeleven or something? Im not a fan of dynamic signals.

I've wanted the Helix headlights for a long time, but can't find matching tail lights for the Sportwagen, so I sort of lost interest .
