08 Frequently asked questions

Golf 8 High-Trim Quad-Projector Retrofit FAQ

Must the factory light source be retained?

Yes. Article 896 requires retaining the factory light source and using an isolated-negative wide-voltage harness.

Can only the outer or inner position be converted?

Yes. The outer position or inner position may be converted separately, or both positions may be used for a four-projector layout.

Which projector shape is recommended?

A square projector is recommended for this high-trim Golf 8 application, subject to physical clearance verification.

Can the inner position use a matrix module?

Yes. The source shows a universal Hella-to-matrix adapter that can support compatible matrix modules or a high-beam projector.

Where should the beam signal be taken?

Take the verified signal from the outer light-source module. Confirm low-beam and high-beam positive/negative terminals before connecting the isolated-negative harness.

Does the inner projector affect other functions?

It may block some light depending on its size and position. Test the retained factory source, clearance, thermal behavior and beam pattern before final sealing.
