VLAND Golf Mk7 Projector Headlights — What to Know

These are dual-beam projector VLAND Golf Mk7 headlights designed for halogen-equipped hatchbacks. They use a projector low beam (D2S LED or D2H HID) and an H7 high beam, with integrated LED DRL and smooth sequential amber indicators. Styles include black housing with Silver Lines or Red Lines accents.

Fitment & Variants

  • EU model years 2013–2016 Mk7 hatchback (LHD) with factory halogens.
  • Not compatible with OEM Xenon/HID or OEM LED, GTE, Golf R.
  • GTI (halogen): generally compatible; some cars benefit from coding to clear bulb checks.
  • No-bulb kit (add your own D2S LED/D2H HID + H7) or “+ LED bulbs” bundles (varies by seller).

Performance & Bulb Choices

  • D2H HID (35–55 W) typically delivers strong reach and uniformity in these projectors.
  • D2S LED: choose quality, E-approved LEDs where applicable for clean cutoff and wet-road visibility.
  • Whatever you pick, aim correctly for best performance.

VLAND Golf Mk7 / Mk7.5 LED Taillights — Red or Smoked

The VLAND Golf Mk7 taillights and VLAND Golf Mk7.5 taillights are full-LED assemblies with crisp running/brake, bright white reverse, rear fog, and smooth amber sequential indicators. Plug-and-play on halogen-equipped cars; factory-LED GTI/R typically need a retrofit harness and coding.

Fitment & Notes

  • EU hatchback: Mk7 2013–2016 and Mk7.5 2017–2020.
  • Hatchback only (not Cabriolet).
  • GTI/R & factory-LED: plan for harness + coding to enable all functions.
  • Ingress protection typically IP67; ensure seals seat flush during install.

VLAND Golf E-Mark, EU Legality & Homologation (Plain Language)

Many EU-focused VLAND Golf Mk7 lights carry an E-mark (UNECE type-approval). You’ll see a circled “E” with digits on the housing. In practice, E-marked headlamps/taillamps — installed, aimed, and operated with compliant light sources — are widely accepted in EU technical inspections. If a specific SKU doesn’t list E-marking, simply use as intended and for tuning projects in line with local expectations.

  • VLAND Golf E-mark: look for the circled “E” + code on the product housing and details.
  • “VLAND Golf legal in EU”: E-marked units with correct bulbs/aim are generally good to go.
  • Full ECE guide: decode markings, read codes, and avoid common inspection pitfalls.

Install, Coding & Aiming — What to Expect

Headlights (high-level)

  • Disconnect battery; loosen/remove bumper to access inner mounting bolt.
  • Unplug 10-pin halogen connector; swap housing; reconnect.
  • If using D2H HID: mount ballasts/decoders; route AMP leads; seal grommets.
  • If using D2S LED: fit quality, compliant modules per maker guidance.
  • Aim beams at 25 ft / 7.6 m (1% drop) and fine-tune on road.

Coding & CANBUS

  • Some halogen BCMs show DRL/indicator checks; add resistor/decoder or code lamp type to LED where supported.
  • GTI/R with factory LED tails usually needs harness + coding to enable all functions.
  • Always test turns/hazards/brake/DRL before re-assembling trims.

FAQs — VLAND Golf 7 / Mk7

Are VLAND Golf Mk7 headlights E-marked and legal in the EU?
Many VLAND Golf 7/Mk7 SKUs carry an E-mark. E-marked units, installed with compliant light sources and aimed correctly, are widely accepted across EU inspections. If a SKU isn’t advertised with E-mark, simply use as intended and for tuning projects aligned with local expectations.
Do VLAND Golf 7 taillights fit Mk7.5 as well?
Yes — the listed taillight SKU covers Mk7 2013–2016 and Mk7.5 2017–2020 hatchbacks. Factory-LED GTI/R typically require a retrofit harness and coding to enable all functions.
Which bulbs do the VLAND Golf Mk7 projector headlights use?
Low beam uses D2S LED or D2H HID; high beam uses H7. Choose quality, compliant light sources for the best cutoff and visibility.
My Golf shows a bulb-out or hyper-flash after install — what do I do?
That’s the CANBUS seeing lower LED load. Fix with load resistors/decoders, an LED flasher (on older cars), or BCM coding where available.
Where do the OEM numbers fit in (5G1941753A / 5G1941754A)?
Those are reference OE part numbers for Mk7 halogen headlamps (left/right). They help you confirm that your car originally had the halogen setup that the VLAND projector housings are designed to replace.
