Volkswagen (VW) cars are great cars to enhance with an HID conversion kit. With the exception of the newer ranges of VW cars, they can all be fitted with the standard Pro Plus range to upgrade to the HID lighting technology. The newer ranges are fitted with more advanced ECU systems that can cause conflicts with standard HID kits. It is for this reason that HIDS4U has created a simple plug and play HID kit called the Ultimate HID kit for use in newer Volkswagen vehicles.
Pre 2005 Volkswagen including VW Golf, Polo, Passat and Bora
For most pre 2005 Volkswagen vehicles, upgrading to HID is a straight forward task. The ECU systems are not too advanced so do not cause conflicts with the HID kits. The VW Golf Mk4 however is very space restricted so will require some additional time to get access to the headlights. It is for this reason we would recommend the Pro range of our HID conversion kits for these vehicles. These include the HIDS4U Pro Plus HID kit and the HIDS4U Pro Max HID kit. You should expect with the Pro Plus HID system to see an increase by around 300% from your BMW standard headlights. With the Pro Max HID system you should expect to see an increase of about 400%

The modern VW cars are now fitted with the more advanced Canbus style ECU systems. These are known to cause conflicts with most HID conversion kits. However our HIDS4U Ultimate kit has been designed as a simple plug and play on all modern VW vehicles. The VW Golf Mk5 also needs an additional bulb holder, modified specially for use with HID kits. These pre-modified holders are provided free from us with the purchase of an Ultimate HID kit.
We have HID conversion kits available for the following Volkswagen vehicles, or use the finder above for a complete bulb application guide for your car:
