Overview
A modern face for the MK6 Jetta.
Factory MK6 Jetta headlights use halogen bulbs behind a plain reflector. These RS5-inspired units swap in a full LED build with a bold DRL signature — the biggest single change you can make to how the front of the car looks, day or night.
Always-on DRL signature.
The LED daytime running lights come on with the ignition, so the car has its new look every time you drive.
Brighter, whiter light.
The LED low beam is roughly three times brighter than factory halogen, for a clearer view of the road.
Sequential signals.
Amber sequential turn signals sweep outward instead of just blinking.

Check your plug
Halogen cars plug straight in. Factory bi-xenon cars (14-pin plug) need the adapter harness.
Remove the front bumper
On the MK6 Jetta the bumper cover comes off to reach the headlight bolts. It's held by T25 Torx bolts on top, in the wheel wells and underneath — a helper makes it easier.
Swap the headlights
Unbolt and unplug the factory headlights, then bolt in the new ones and plug them in.
Test everything
Before the bumper goes back on, check the low beam, high beam, DRL and sequential signals on both sides.
Refit and aim
Reinstall the bumper, then aim the beams using the adjusters on the back of each housing.
We recommend a professional install, especially on xenon cars.

FAQQuestions, answered.
Halogen or xenon — how do I tell?
Look at the plug on the back of your headlight. Xenon cars use a 14-pin plug and need the adapter harness. Halogen cars plug straight in. Send us a photo or your VIN if unsure.
Do they fit the 2015–2018 facelift?
Yes — they fit MK6 and MK6.5 Jetta sedans, 2011–2018.
Will they fit my GLI?
Yes, if it has halogen headlights. GLIs with factory xenon need the 14-to-10 pin harness.
Do I need to remove the bumper?
On the MK6 Jetta, yes — the bumper cover comes off to reach the headlight bolts.
Do I need to aim them?
Yes. Aim them after install using the adjusters on the back of each housing.
Are bulbs included?
There are no bulbs — everything is LED and already built in.
What's the warranty?
1-year limited warranty.
What's the return policy?
Uninstalled and in original packaging, returns fall under our standard refund policy. Get in touch before sending anything back.
