- In this video, I show how to replace the standard halogen H7 bulbs with LED units from Auxito, in my 2001 VW Golf. Auxito was nice enough to send me these bulbs to review and I hope that it benefits you. The results are amazing! I love the 6500K color, which really helps brighten the roadway at night. The light isn't too powerful that oncoming traffic is blinded either. I hope that you like this video. Thanks for watching!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Hi, there is a kind of a heavy flash that occurs when the lights are switched on.
Thank you for the video and for filming very clearly and next to where the things happen.
Yes, when the ignition is switched on, the lights flash for a split second for some reason. Thank you for the comment.
All you need now is a set of micro led foglight kit that fit in the bumper and you all set.
I definitely need these in my 2003 Mk4 with 45k
Only 45k?!?! That's really low mileage. I'm happy with the headlights so far and I think you will be too. Make sure to use the link in the description if you decide to purchase them. Thank you!
Thank you
You're welcome.
There is a very very very special place in the bowels of hell for the engineers whom design VW headlight assemblies and their cockamamie electrical connector buffoonery!
Haha, gotta love VW!
Good upgrade to the dip beam light, but I have to ask, why remove the metal seat that the new LED bulb came with in the kit to fit inside the headlamp first, why not just fit the new LED bulb as it is in the box. ..
You have to install the metal seat first, because you won't be able to swing the retaining clip over top of the LED housing. The cooling fan at the rear is larger than the retaining clip.
Why do you prefer led over xenon,? I'm wanting to put xenon in my mk4 gti. Would like to hear an alternative opinion
I prefer LED lights because they last longer and burn cooler than Xenon lights do. They use less energy as well.
Hi cory iv bought aux beam led h7 but they are different model still h7 .. how to position them ?? Mines keep on turning so i need to set them did yours position vertical please
The diodes point left and right. I hope that helps.
They are not road legal in Europe, I would consider having them anyway, but are they not blinding the oncoming traffic?
They are not blinding to oncoming traffic. I never have had anyone flash their high beams at me.
does it not fog the light. I bought some other led h7. And after a short trip of 30 km the hole light fogged up. But when I put the halogen light back. It got back to normal.
No fogging issues at all.
You should have at least slipped off the plastic battery cover to give a touch more room. How are they holding up regarding the extra heat produced
I actually did take the battery cover off later in the video. The lights are holding up well so far without any issues.
I really need your help guys 😕
My LEDS are touching the reflector cap in front of the low beam (the led bulbs are a bit too long)
Should I cut the cap or shield i don't know what it is called off? Or you guys have a fix? Thanks
What brand of LEDs did you buy?
no resistors needed its plug and play?
Right, it's plug and play with this vehicle.
Which LED do you recommend for the main beam bulb?
The 12,000 lumen H7 style is the one that I reviewed in the video. I'm very pleased with it's performance and I highly recommend it.
@@Corysdiyauto thank you so much.

can you pls do a video with high beam H1 ???
I'm planning on it eventually.
Here's a video on the high beam bulb upgrade to LED. Mine are the H7 style though, not H1. ua-cam.com/video/hEccx8eNhoc/v-deo.html
Good light but is it legal? In my country is it not.
It's probably not legal since it's an aftermarket LED headlight bulb. What country are you from?
@@Corysdiyauto Sweden,...the ban applies to the low beam. If the car is rebuilt with level control and it is approved in a reg inspection,it is allowed.
@@Swemist - That's interesting, so what about the high beam?
@@Corysdiyauto No such rules for high beam..It is also possible to mount some extra lights if you want..The probleme is precisely that many cars have poor low beam and nothing else is allowed to shine at the same time.
Many also drive with the fog lights on togheter with the low beam to get a little better light.(And many younger people who thinks its looks cool) ..But the Police do not like that "type of crime" and the fines are quite heavy...If you are unlucky the car must also be inspected.
Are you allowed on street whith led bulbs? In Romania you can't run with led,whithout projectors lens.I have a Golf 4 too.If police catch me whith led,I remain whithout car certificate.I hope you understand my poor english.
There's not a problem here my area in the United States with the LED bulbs. It's sounds like it's really strict in Romania. Your English is fine. I understood you perfectly.
Я тоже хочу поставить такие на свой Golf mk4
