vs
Headlights Bosch or HELIX
Finally got my hands on some Helix headlights after months of waiting. I couldn't be happier with the results!
Pros: happy with results
I bought [these headlights](https://www.ecstuning.com/b-helix-parts/mk75-style-headlight-set-black-trim/hvwg7hl-75b2~hlx/) with [this LED kit](https://www.ecstuning.com/b-morimoto-parts/d2h-d2s-2-stroke-led-bulb-kit/led1509kt/). So far so great. They look amazing, the LED upgrade is literally night and day. Fitment is good, no issues, and they shipped pretty fast.
Pros: look amazing, good fitment
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Loving the Bosch headlights!
Pros: Loving the headlights

Just wanted to follow up for anyone else thinking about running the same headlights that I found a working solution. To reiterate what MarcoCap24 stated, the Helix LED R Style for the Mk6 Jetta ( https://www.urotuning.com/Helix-Projector-Headlights-LED-R-Style-Mk6-Jetta-p/hvwj6hl-l7.htm ) LED UU's will light up as intended with a euroswitch.
Pros: lights up as intended
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I bought and installed them many years ago while I was living in Germany. The lights are in excellent condition with no damage, but the lenses are cloudy from years of use. They have never been sanded, so a 3M kit could be used to clean them up. The auto leveling functioned properly.
Pros: excellent condition, auto leveling works
Cons: lenses are cloudy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I just installed the Helix Replicas in my GTI s with the HID kit. They look great and big upgrade compared to the halogens. Only draw back is the high beams are useless as they are halogen and they get washed out with the HID.
Pros: look great, big upgrade
Cons: high beams are useless
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
buy the helix oem-ish lights from ecs. i got them and put a hid kit in them and they work great. they look oem but without the orange marker lights on the sides. your gonna get a bulb out warning no matter what you choose but from what i have read and heard the helix projector led housings work and look a lot nicer than the winpower ones. i havent seen them in person, but ive heard the winpower ones led's are kinda dim. the helix ones are just as bright as oem. ive put them side by side with a friends gli with oem bixenons and they pretty much match besides the marker lights. i couldnt be happier with them. install is easy too.
Pros: look oem, work great
Cons: bulb out warning
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I have the helix MK7 reps with a generic HID bi-xenon set up. Works just fine. Like other said just make sure its a can bus system.
Pros: works just fine
Is the question whether the owner replaced the horrible SAE/DOT 7" sealed beam units with E-Code H4 7" from Bosch or Hella or Cibié?
Cons: horrible SAE/DOT units
I just got burned on the terrible quality of Helix halogen projector headlights, and put the stock reflector headlights back on. Yes, the Helix projector lights were that bad.
Cons: terrible quality
