HID VCDS Tweaks

Does anyone know the coding to make the HID DRL look like this? double "angel-eyes" ? or this is only option on the golf R?

Unless you have R headlights then the inner U doesn't even have an led board in it. Someone can correct if I am wrong though? I was going to buy a set of aftermarket that had a double U feature and the led turn signal for like $550.

Eds reps have double U's, looks like they are on sale.

Correct.

Do those work for golfs with and without the lighting package?

Ed's reps (ie. BEC Auto Parts) are designed to only work on non-lighting package cars. You run them either with an HID kit (Morimoto & Hylux are popular) or with halogen H7 bulbs.

I'd really like to upgrade. About the only drawback I see are that the adjustments are behind the assembly. Looks like that'd be a real b***h to access once you get everything buttoned back up after install. Really gotta hope they come aimed well from the factory. Too bad the adjustments aren't accessible from the top with a long screwdriver like on most cars.

Really quick, do all the golfs with single U DRL style headlight have the "lighting package"?? I really want that double U DRL (plus I would trust the morimoto hid kit over stock HID honestly) and I am about to purchase a 2015 golf dsg so I want to before purchase. Just trying to figure out to tell from pics if the car has lighting package or not.

Halogens don’t have any U.
Non-R’s with lighting package (or standard HIDs) have single U.
R’s have double U.

My experience on a mk6 and mk7 meds replicas are that they are aimed high and a bit off from factory. It's actually not hard to adjust. I used a monkey wrench and popped the hood off an empty road and aimed it according to the horizon and street signs/bushes. The lateral ones can be turned by hand (if you have strong fingers) and it was about 10 minutes and then I never touched again in the past year.

One warning about non-oem is to put some silica gel packs along with the bulb caps to absorb moisture. My mk6 were very foggy inside after a couple years and left bad water stains. My mk7 looks nice with the silica inside
