Mk3.5 facelift wiring diagrams?

Featured Replies

Hi guys, I'm looking for some wiring diagrams for the facelift mk3, specifically I'm after some for the xenon headlights. 

Im looking at doing a facelift conversion and don't want to downgrade my lights to do so. 
 

When you plug in the lights everything works apart from main beam, I've got the headlight apart and its down to electronics so I want to see if there is a way I can adapt my wiring or modules or whether I will have to make them work by sacrificing my existing lights. 



The headlights need to be coded to the car. Its not as simple as rip and replace like in the good old days.

Also the chances are you'll need to start replacing modules to support the new xenon headlights as they are a lot smarter than the original MK3 ones, they move with the steering and adjust the beam pattern so require the camera in the windscreen to operate properly as they are adaptive.

I agree, I wasn’t to worried about the adaptive part I just wanted the main beams to work, I split the light and dismantled it and it’s only a stepper Motor driving the flap so was trying find where the high beam signal comes from as presumably that would activate the flap and then return when not in use. I have found a way to make it work but it involves sacrificing my existing Xenons which I’m not prepared to do as that would be a good bulk of the resale profits gone.
