Golf 7.5 High-Trim Projector Retrofit FAQ
Which projector is recommended for the outer position?
The outer low-beam position uses a 3-inch projector layout. A square projector is recommended for the pictured application.
What are the two inner-position options?
The inner high-beam position may use a matrix-projector bracket while retaining the factory shroud, or a 3-inch square-projector bracket.
Must the factory light source be retained?
Yes. Article 954 requires retaining the factory source and using an isolated-negative wide-voltage harness.
Can only one position be converted?
Yes. The outer low-beam position or inner high-beam position can be converted separately after compatibility verification.
Which matrix projector sizes are shown?
The pictured inner matrix bracket is described as compatible with 1.5-inch and 1.8-inch projectors. Confirm exact mounting and depth before assembly.
What wiring pins are shown?
The supplied reference labels pin 1 high-beam positive, pin 2 high-beam negative, pin 3 low-beam positive and pin 4 low-beam negative. Verify with the actual module before connection.
Technical reference: Based on Royalin-supplied installation photography and article 954 for the pictured 2018–2020 Volkswagen Golf 7.5 high-trim projector bracket system. Verify the headlamp version, retained sources, wiring and chosen inner configuration before ordering.
