Code VW Golf MK7.5 for led H7 headlight dip beam

^^^^ I assume that you had incandescent lamps in the headlight fittings originally. If so,first try this:

• Go to the Cent. Elect module @ address hex09
• Go to Security access
  
• Enter 31347
  
• Go to Adaptation
• Change these channels:

• Leuchte6ABL LC5-Lasttyp 6 >5 - LED Abblendlicht (11 - Abblendlicht)
  
  Leuchte7ABL RB1-Lasttyp 7> 5 - LED Abblendlicht (11 - Abblendlicht)

If the above instructions don't work, return settings in the 2 x channels above to original values and try this:

• Repeat steps 1-4 above
  
• Change these channels:

• Leuchte6ABL LC5-Fehlerort mittleres Byte DTC-DFCC 6 >0 (1A)
  Leuchte7ABL RB1-Fehlerort mittleres Byte DTC-DFCC 7 >0 (1B)

If this doesn't work, return settings in the 2 x channels above to original values and tell me what error messages you received

As for your question, there is lots of hype and hyperbole with different LEDs and I can't recommenced a particular lamp. However, I would start by choosing a lamp from a reputable LED manufacturer. There are a few to choose-from including CREE, Phillips, Samsung and Seoul. The next is to look at efficiency:lumens/watt and if you are a nerd (like me), efficacy which includes the visible lighting wavelengths (though finding this data can be problematic). Then think about color and what shade-of-white you want. And finally, consider physical build quality.

Hi wgolfmk7,my car headlight bulbs are just halogen H7 bulbs for the dip beams and I wanted to improve the light output on the dip beams by using Led H7 bulbs.

Hi Don ,

I fitted the Led fog light bulbs and got the error light on the dash .I cleared the fault and made the changes you said .My car had the default values (10 - allgemeine Scheinwerfer) so its working perfect now .

I might change the high beam halogens for Leds too Don , how do I code the high beams for Leds ?

Thank you so much for your help .

Cheers Don

^^ chupoo: hmm........ your Golf 2013 uses the module @ address hex09 to control the halogen headlight fittings. AFAIK, Golf facelift with FULL LED headlight assemblies have an entirely different set-up as factory fitted: these cars use separate LCMs (Light Control Modules) for each side of the car to operate the lamps in headlight fittings.

PLUS - the installation of a "Special connector" totally changes the assignment of Leuchte-sets in your existing hex09 module. - each manufacturer of supposedly OEM headlights uses different wiring - so it's not possible to be precise about what has happened in your car.

Don

Sorry
I'm not familiar with those lamps - and in particular I never know what manufacturer's mean by "plug-and-play". Invariably, the term as used by sellers doesn't align with buyer's understanding!!!

Don

Changed all these settings on my Mk7 TDI - no issues at all with dash lights once I changed settings - Huge shout out to Don for the codes!!!!

Don

I gave this a try this morning it worked thanks so much!!!

golftdi023: Reverse lights = Leuchte28RFL LC11 and Leuchte29RFL RA64

The lamps in the headlight assemblies are more complex - it depends on the type of fittings installed and whether the central electrics module controls the headlight functions - or whether this car uses Light Control Modules (LCMs)

Don

As I have already said - it depends if this car has LCMs. I have no idea if this is the case - I suggest that you look at your SCAN report.

If this car has LCMs, the DRLs are NOT controlled by the central electrics module. I assume that the reason for you using "/" is because the same lamp on this car is used for both DRL and Parking light

Of course, if NO LCM, then the DFLs/Parking Light can be modified
