The led flickers because the car's computer checks the lights for errors, it send a PWM signal to see if there is a light there or not, it's a normal behavior on VW, so all LED mounted will flicker at first, even if they are in the tail light or head light!
@@champagnedrippy3942 The way you can fix it is to do a pin 1 to pin 10 swap on the vw harness. All it takes is a hair clip. The U U lights will run with city lights instead of DRL. You will also be required to turn off DRL with Vagcom or OBD11.
I just got done installing these lights on my 2014 Golf TDI. Not sure if anyone else knows this or not, but I found another adjustment screw inside the housing that gave me plenty of adjustment and didn't need to push the housings back to get the height I needed for correct headlight height. The gaps look better now. Also I had a problem with the VLand wiring. My DRL's would only come on with the headlight switch on. I had a malfunction light for the DRL's. The VLand wiring has 2 into 1 white wire. I ran jumpers to see what was running what? Then used the #4(DRL wire) wire from VW headlight harness and a jumper wire to one of the white wires that run the DRL's, problem solved and no malfunction light. Also running all LED's on my car(every light inside and out).
@@alexandrebreda234 The white plastic adjuster on the outside only allows a certain amount of adjustment. Open the housing and there should be an extension of that adjustment on the same side that lets you adjust it even further.
Awesome bro, I have an mk6 golf too and I got the same headlights cause I love the look. I'm going to install them tomorrow, any pointers for first time headlight installation?
Great video, you convinced me to buy the lights. Next step is the interior set. Did you get a malfunctioning right turn signal when the engine is on? My right turn signal/hazard for the headlight does not work in a sequential manner.
Hey man, I just wanted to thank you for all the content you create. It's been extremely helpful for me. Also, I copied your setup and I don't regret it. Although, I had some issues installing the LED bulbs at first due to my headlight socket coming with a green "O Ring" instead of the wire harness. But, all is well. One thing is for sure, in that the lights are set up aiming pretty low. Were you able to adjust the low beam higher without and disassembly?
Hey man - I really appreciate the support. I’m glad the golf series is helpful! As for the headlight adjustment, in this video I show the three screws to loosen to allow for the headlights to be angled back and re-tightened. It will only require the grille to be removed.
I know in a little late to this. But I wish you made a video of the light output and brights. I have the single projector from vland and the brights are horrible.
Nice review. I have these as well and the problem I have is only one drl comes on when I drop the ebrake. But when I turn the headlights on all the drl "U"s come on. So I always drive with my headlights on. Kind of annoying. Also I had some condensation inside as well and I've seen lights get destroyed inside quick. So....to save them I used a heat gun on low and slowly evaporated it. It works quite well. Hope that helps someone.
Appreciate the insight! I made a video on the condensation which was my biggest pet peeve. I used silica packs stuffed in the bulb area which seemed to help.
@@AJLoDato22 good idea I think I'll try that. I just changed back to leds from hids tonight. Way better because the hids had hideous laser beam webs lol. Liked and subscribed! Cheers man!
VLANDS website says that these don’t work with GTI models, can’t decide if I should try it or not, is the pulsing light because of that? Any error codes?
If you read the website description on these headlights they say they don’t fit because they are an Asian company and their language and writing/typing skills aren’t on point BUT they do fit and what they mean by they don’t fit is that the error light on your dash will come on and you can’t get rid of the error light with out coding it out of the ECM/ECU and such that is why they say they don’t fit! they should re word they’re description so people understand better but yes they fit you will just have a light on your dash like I do now that is all! If you don’t mind a light on your dash then go for it otherwise don’t do it! VW’s are extremely touchy vehicles and that is good and bad all at once lol 😆 good luck!
im having problems, my highbeams are automatically turning off after 35 seconds of use. just wondering if anyone else had come across this issue.. thanks guys
Hmm I’m not sure why you’re having the issues. It may be good to reach out to their customer service or check out some forums. There are some others that have had issues.
My buddy has a mk 6 gti with these headlights. DRL works but not brights , blinkers, and main lights. Any suggestions on fixing? He’s told me about swapping pins? Is there an adapter?
I wish I knew more about them other than my install. I’d recommend looking into the forms. There’s a ton of folks that have insight on swapping pins, which I think is the culprit.
The best way is to retrofit a headlight with the original chipset in it Even though aftermarket have canbus to bypass error codes but it will never bypass everything
@@AJLoDato22 well, thanks. but i searched the whole internet for those things. i didnt find them. im from germany but i also didnt find them searching for the us version. this is exactly what i need, but it seems like i have to craft them on my own. thx
It has been a hot minute since I installed mine. I do know folks were having some pinning issues. Look up ‘Mk6 GTI VLAND pinning’ on a forum. It had something to do with the harness.

I don’t disagree. I’ve had two sets of vlands (golf & 4runner), and both had great low beams, but horrible high beams
So the high beams on those are also crappy ?
Anyone know how to make the drl work cuz mine dont light up in the day

How do I get them to work on the gti
If I only use the high beam, it hardly shines at all😢
I was gunna get these for my mk6 Jetta but ended up with the spec d instead.
How are the spec d holding up Bc I was think ab getting em for my mk6 Jetta GLI
Lights are sick

@@AJLoDato22 hmm ok. thanks man!
did you ever figure out this issue? currently having my highbeams do the same thing
My headlights aiming too low to the ground. Any help with that?
Unbolt the headlight bolts and cock it back and retighten. Works like a charm
Did you have a problem with the controls on the meter or not?
I only had issues where the DRL’s wouldn’t turn on unless the headlights were on. No other issues with the controls switch.

I use the golf 8 design model, they light up too low
Looking to upgrade my headlights have been searching on eBay these style but says it only fits golf not gti any recomendaciones?
I think mk6 gti and golf’s are interchangeable, but I’d message VLAND. From what I remember they had decent customer service

How do you change from red eye to white
Mine didn’t have the red option. Im not sure how folks do that.
The best way is to retrofit a headlight with the original chipset in it
Even though aftermarket have canbus to bypass error codes but it will never bypass everything
One question, what adapter time did you use, if the car is 14 pin and the headlight is 10 pin?
I don’t have the car anymore so I can’t check, but it was the adaptor that came with the kit.
@@AJLoDato22 which adapter? Can I buy to install the headlights to the car?

dude a question for you. i'm considering and throwing 6000k xenon kit in these headlights. do you think it can damage the diodes on the headlight

are you running led bulbs or hid's ?
LED’s

Ohh shoot really? I thought they would
Does it pass MOT’s?
