This VW Golf MK7 was upgraded from its factory Xenon headlights to Bi-LED projectors.
The original Xenon setup was replaced with a projector system capable of producing a longer, more defined beam. On this installation, the upgraded headlights reach over 200 metres on low beam and over 350 metres on high beam.
From Factory Xenon to Bi-LED
The Golf MK7 originally came with Xenon headlights. For this upgrade, the complete headlight setup was converted to Bi-LED projectors rather than simply replacing the Xenon bulbs.
The projector handles both low and high beam. Its optics shape the output into a defined beam, with the low beam keeping a clear cutoff and the high beam extending further down the road.
Low Beam: Over 200 Metres
The upgraded low beam reaches over 200 metres.
That gives the driver a longer view of the road while keeping the beam controlled. The defined cutoff also helps keep the light directed toward the road rather than spreading it unnecessarily above the intended beam area.
High Beam: Over 350 Metres
On high beam, the projectors reach over 350 metres.
This is where the upgrade becomes particularly useful on darker, unlit roads. With high beam engaged where appropriate, the light reaches considerably farther ahead than the normal low-beam pattern.
Beam Alignment
After the projectors are installed, the headlights need to be aligned correctly. For this Golf MK7, the final beam position was checked so that the low beam has the correct cutoff and the high beam is directed properly down the road.
A projector retrofit is only as useful as its final alignment. The hardware and the beam setup both matter.
The Finished Golf MK7
The finished setup replaces the factory Xenon system with Bi-LED projectors offering:
- 200m+ low-beam reach
- 350m+ high-beam reach
- A defined low-beam cutoff
- Bi-LED low- and high-beam operation
- Proper beam alignment after installation
- 2-year warranty
For this Golf MK7, the upgrade was about replacing the original Xenon setup with a projector system capable of giving the driver considerably more reach at night.
