Hi I need some advice on a mk6 gtd I am doing a headlight conversion from basic halogen to bi xenons with the drls and I am wondering if I just need to buy the adaptors and they will work or do I need to buy modules for the auto levelling and afs to work and help would be much appreciated cheers

Before you even start thinking about that, do you have VCDS and factory wiring diagrams?

Nope don't have vcds or a diagram I thought I would just need this http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/291545285716 but I have read that for Auto levelling and afs it is abit more complicated and I need some more wiring looms and modules

lol I'm afraid it just isn't as simple as putting in an adapter loom.

If you're our of your depth then consider asking someone who retrofits for a living to undertake the job as the job you're wanting to do is complicated.

You can retrofit Xenons using simply the 10-12 pin adaptor.
If you want the shutter to work you need to run a wire to the CCM, not a hard job really and lots of info on line

VCDS is required for Xenon coding to stop flickering
