Gregg at USP Motorsports will walk you step-by-step through the installation process of the, RFB by USP, Volkswage MK6 Jetta / GLI / CC HID Conversion Light Kit.
Your video was the 3rd I watched and I wish it was the first. The other ones were filmed on a phone and were horrid. People suck. Thanks for the upload.
GUYS IF YOU HAPPEN TO PLUG THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE MALE FIXTURES IN THE WRONG SLOTS THE FUSES WILL BLOW, ITS GOING TO BE FUSE #18 FOR THE LEFT LOW BEAM AND FUSE #38 FOR THE RIGHT LOW BEAM, IT TOOK A BIT OF RESEARCH BUT I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT
How about doing a video for your fog light kit for the MK6 Jetta
What did you do with the old harness the halogen bulbs was connected to? Trying to remove aftermarket HID in my car
Great tutorial! Although I was nervous the entire video that you were going to accidentally touch the HID glass with your hand or fingers lol I would use rubber gloves. But great video non the less. I'm officially subscribing. I'm prepping myself to install 8000k's on my VW CC. Can't wait!
Thank you for posting, happy holidays!
Thank you this helped tremendously. VW Tiguan 2018-2019 has the same system, the cap is rubber that’s the difference. Also you gotta bend the prongs on the metal thing a little inwards and the bulb will click into place no problems.
Awesome video thank you very much , was able to do a clean setup thanks to this helpful step by step
I found that a 7/8" hole was needed to be drilled in the headlight housing caps on my 2013 Jetta TDI 6MT PRM. In the video he says to drill 3/4".
Hi i have an 07 Jetta and pretty much everything you did to connect i did for high beam bulbs because the positive/negative wire harness can only connect to the bulb connector on my high beams connector. I don't have the little black connector from my low beat socket only coming from the high connector housing. The problem is I'm only getting a flickering when i turn the car on. The bulbs do not remain on or come on at all. Do you have an idea what it can possibly? I try flipping the connectors from the ballast to the bulb wire over also tried switching the positive/negative wires on different sides of the connector. Like you mention the connector doesn't really specify which side is positive or negative but i tried both and nothing coming on. Please if you can share any suggestions I would def appreciate you. Sorry for this long paragraph..Thanks !!
Nice video. Helped a lot, but I just cannot get the the metal clip to lock in place. Is there something else I need to do other than try turning it clockwise?
Thanks so much! Using this video as a guide for doing this to my 2005 5 Cyl. Jetta 2.5L.
NasIllmatic feel sorry you got the 2.5l lol
this is a really good install video, thank for a detailed explanation
Do these cause an error code on the dash?
Is your battery in the front or the trunk? I'm having an issue trying to install the relay switch but since the batt is in the trunk the pos & neg are not unscrew able . F30 bmw 2015. Any suggestions. Thanks
No Tyler, the fuse will not blow. There's no resistance made by switching them. If they don't work, just switch the wires. Simple as that.
Were there any errors or lights on dash? Flicker?
My kit came with Relay wiring on a 2012 GLI. It doesn't look like you used that wiring here so would it be required?
Xenon direct connect electrical wiring without the use of a canceller, does not damage the LCM VEHICLE?
I don't have the removable metal clip on mine. Is there a place where I can order one, my clip is enclosed in the actual plastic of the twist off knob.
Why do you have to take out the black and red wire if you are going to re install it in the same spot again?
Want to buy a set of these. Do I really need to drill the hole into the headlight cover? Don't have a drill :(
For the Jetta MK5 are we using a warning cancellation, or relay harness?
Can you use these in the high beams? Also can you use these in a projector housing?
Got a replacement ballast. It came with a blue wire. What's that for?
Do the HID coversion effect the DRLs and high beam bulbs? I know some cars drls and high beam wont work after HID conversion due to the voltage.
Can you guys make a video showing the hid kit on, so that we can see the beam? Would like to know if the beam is focused or scattered in a headlight housing designed for halogen bulbs, and also if I would need to adjust my headlights down a bit to compensate for the hid kit brightness? Thanks in advance!
That is exactly why Projected Headlamps were developed, of course its going to be scattered in the headlight.
Well explained straight forward guide_very useful,thank you.
Hi, I have a VW Jetta sport wagen 2010 and my lights are totally different I took it out and the light have 3 pins on it, do you have any idea what do I need to do? Thanks Rudy.
I did everything in this video but when i started the engine tge lights would flicker. I bought the anti flicker kit and now there is no power to neither bulb any suggestions???
How hot does the bulb get? Will it eventually deteriorate the plastic housing?
I've had H7 HID's for about 2 years now, hadn't deteriorated the plastic housing. But the heat did burn out my capacitor, which I had to replace about a week ago.
Do you have to install new fuses when installing on the vw gli?
Great ! Clean and very much to the point! Thanks
The whole ballast fits in the headlight cover
Do you have a recommendation on what hid kit I should use? I had a friend do it to my Jetta but the warning light came on inside.
your kit was not canbus friendly
I have a VW CC Rline. I installed a Warning Canceller Capacitor connector and hooked it to the Ballast and it cleared out my warning light. You can buy them for cheap on Amazon. Easy install, plug-and-play.

good job overall.the way I do is to remove the headlights from the car open them and insert projector lenses then put the hid in the projector lense. the result will be amazing no blinding oncoming traffic,and as long as you choose sensible color for your bulbs you won't have any unwanted pullover by the police.
Responsible colors = no cops.
Except this is a royal pita, I'm willing to pay someone to do that to my gli lights
did you use a relay harness on the driver side?
Question, I have a Jetta gli 2018, what's the bulb size? I am planning to install 6000k kit. Which brand better fits the jetta?
It is an H7 stock bulb
did you have any heating problems?
How to install a projector also into this kind of headlight?
where I get the set of lights for my jetta mk6 model 2012 with relay to avoid the fault code
I just buy 2 kits for both High/low beam?
any help available for hid installation for 2014 passat ?
Did anybody else have this problem I installed my hids and the parking breaks cut on along with the low beam hids can some body tell what is wrong or how to fix it
I can't get the metal bracket to lock back into the headlight housing. Any help or advice? The hids work I just can't get the bulb to seat back into the housing.
Brady Sizemore I'm having the same issue with mine.
Hi i tried to put the metal into the bulb and it doesent work why??
Erick gomez you need an adapter there about 10 bucks off ebay
why is it recommended to disable drls? in the mk6 jetta when headlights come on drl go off.
SOMEBODY TELL ME IF I WANNA PUT HID ON MY MK6 I NEED INSTALL A CANBUS HID KIT,BECAUSE THE LIGHTS IT WILL STAY FLASHING LIKE FAILING,ITS TRUE? OR JUST BUSINES FOR THIS PERSON?
I was so excited to add a HID kit to the 2012 VW CC Redline I just bought as I had done all the other cars I own. But to My disappointment, not only did the Bulbs only stay on a few minutes before turning off. Also threw codes on the car and a dash light as well. Had to take to dealer to remove the damn codes. Apparently you cannot convert a CC without throwing codes and dash lights. Starting to regret My decision to buy this car already.
I think you just need a load resistor installed before the ballast to prevent the bulb out light. Or try Deautokey H7RC HID kit which supposedly is guaranteed to be error free.
Yeah I ordered a harness from HID nation that had the resistors installed in the harness. It did get them working, but there were still some issues, like sometimes they would not turn off. I had to take the fuse out to get them to go off. Finally just put back to stock. Too much aggravation. Only car I've ever had a problem with installing HID set.
Question I have a 2015 VW Mk6 Jetta with a 35w HID kit. When I installed the Hid the warning light bulb notice pop up on the dashboard. I called a local VW dealership & they stated to me that the bulb light warning would stay and to keep my halogen bulbs instead. Bigger question is what should I do? & would a relay harness help or not? p.s the bulbs did go out one night when driving. Shut my lights off, turned back on and then worked.
Get a warning capacitor adaptor. They sell them on Amazon. It cleared out the warning light on my dash. VW won't give a solution to that as they don't support HID converters under their agreement. They'll tell you to stick to stock lights.
Anyways get the capacitor, it works. It's all plug-and-play and it works fine on my VW CC.
+Joshua Zambrano Thanks Josh, I did order those warning capacitors and they work well and your right VW dealership will tell you all kinds of BS. Next, order will probably be an aftermarket intake or cat back exhaust.
all you needed was (in lame term) a digital balast or in petrolheads terms it's called canbus or error free balast. with that u won't get any error on your dash.
Any error codes pop up on dash board? I have jetta 2.5
Is it legal to put HIDs in reflector headlights? I thought it was only "allowed" in projector headlights?
+leylandcarsloverslea not really, but it doesn't blind oncoming traffic so actually being pulled over and getting a warning or ticket there's pretty much a .00000000001 chance, pretty much no chance you'll get pulled over for it.
it's not allowed on road use vihicles. u can use them on as long as you use projectors that way you won't blind people

What about TDI modles will it work just as well? And will this kit damage the housing, like melting it?
Carlos D'Aparicio yes, it'll work. Your best bet is to take the lights out because it's hell putting them back in without removing the light.
Any DRL issue with these?
is it the same on the jetta se
Am i the only one who just stuffed everything into the housing? It all fits, no need to drill, super clean install..
lmao me too
Same here 👍🏼
any issues with that or no?
UsmanYZX not that i know of, i havent had any. No need to mount anything in there either because the wiring acts like a cushion to the ballast.
is this update to the lights street legal in USA?
Do you know why my hids flicker only when car is running?
+Alfonso Manterola i think you have what's called canbus system in your car. you need a ballistic witch supports canbus
No need to cut the hole in the housing
GET SOME PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS, IF YOU'RE GONNA DO THIS!!
@Sutton Justin what does that have to do with projector headlights lmfao
@@rileyhance318 glare
The HIDs appear to be dimmer that the stock halogen.:-(
its 6000k ?
Thank you
I like but u guys should show like d light out put etc rather than jus installation its a gud video tho
Awesome video ruined by another HID install in a car not designed for them. The housing for HID and Led are projector lens so they can offer safe beam output properly without blinding oncoming traffic and getting a safety inspection ticket for tampering with your headlights a no no in most every state in America. The proper method is to use a bulb specifically designed for the reflective housing, retrofit in a projector lens or buy aftermarket glass projector headlights and throw anything you want in there.
naw man you actually cant put the clip back in whilst keeping the bulb lined up, I just tried for over an hour and am ready to throw the kit in the fucking trash. I cant believe there isnt a better way to do this. what child hhas hands small enough for this?
Maximum PIA!
I know it took you an hour to get that damn bulb clipped back in. What a pain in the friggin ass!!!!
What a fuckin headache! Why would they design something so complicated
Any tips on getting the bulb back in the housing? I can't seem to get it in and if I do then only one tab is securely fastened. Does the light have to be alittle offset or is it completely centered inside there? Doing this on my 2014 Jetta TDi, the setup is the same as this GLI in the video.
+adioskater556 It is realllly hard on the drivers side, there is just no room, I am driving around with a halogen in the drivers side an HID in the passengers side until I can get a heater to heat my garage so I can remove the entire headlight assembly, it sucks, it is just way too tight to put the light in there, the clip (why the hell do they even have a clip ahhh it's annoying) does not fit very well onto the HID bulb and trying to turn it in that little area is pretty much impossible, my friends and I both tried doing it.
I actually had to take off my whole front bumper off and remove my headlights for me to get this. Inside the bulb housing, there are two screws which the side clamps of the bulb fit underneath for it to stay in there. I just had to loosen those screws and tighten it back up when those side clamps were underneath. I'd recommend having at least one person to help you out with this. It made it easier for me.
+adioskater556 I couldn't do it either, so I removed the wheel and fender well. It is just a handful of Torx body screws, and then you're looking right at the back of the headlight housing with all the room you need. 2013 Jetta GLI
I too had a heck of a time trying to put the HID bulb back on the driver's side housing. Note: I originally purchased a kit that comes with bulbs that have plastic base (ring). Those will not work because the plastic is too thick - the stock lights have the thin metal base (ring). That said, even with the thin metal base of the light bulb, it was still hard to get it back on. After several frustrating failed attempts and fingers starting to hurt, I used the pliers to bend the metal "wings" of the clip (reused from the Jetta) slightly upward towards the base (ring) of the bulb. By doing that, the wings on the clip will catch the housing more easily. To give me a little more room to work with on the driver's side, I took off the fuse box cover directly in front of it for easier access. Fortunately, I don't have to go to extreme measures to take off the head unit by taking off the bumper.
