Headlights HELIX or OEM Volvo
For what its worth, I had the Helix headlights on my 2017 GSW and yes, I had to set those up with HID ballasts and HID bulbs. I was able to tuck the ballast inside the back of the headlight and put the bulb access door/cover back on for a pretty clean install.
Pros: clean install

Volkswagen Golf
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
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
This guy is laughing at the end of the day, your fancy active bending Thors Hammer lights are easily $2,500 each when they break.
Cons: expensive to replace
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
Just installed them, will have to see how they work out.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Just finished the install and I have noticed 2 things on this Helix unit. 1. When the low-beams are in use they seem to run at a lower power. 2. When turning on the high-beams it also makes the low-beams run at their apparent normal full power.
Cons: lower power low-beams
Unfortunately due to stupid decisions at Volvo Xc40 lacks of one of best features of larger brothers. Headlights don't turn. As per Volvo it's a small economy level car.
Cons: headlights don't turn
Vehicle:
Volvo
Volvo S40 Headlights are not bright - I have recently changed them and its still not much better.
Cons: not bright, not much better
Vehicle:
Volvo S40
