I have not attempted this myself but with today's tech anything is possible I guess.
It certainly pays to know a good auto electrician/software specialist.

interesting ... I have to say they are not even copy of oem lights. They are made from scratch. Iam not sure if they will work as well as OEM though. OEM VW led light don't use one of the optics (one closer to middle of car). Yet they offer led/led or led/xenon combination. Funny enough they use official vw photos as preview. :D

//oh and they don't fit of you have anything else than halogen lights. That is probably reason for two optics.

I wouldn’t trust these... their pictures are so inconsistent that that alone is a huge red flag.

Some depicts the inner reflector as it is on the real OEM LED headlights, other show it with a DE lens on both the inner and outer headlight as seen in the T-roc.

And they are not ECE approved meaning they are effectively illegal to use on the road. And please don’t be one of those that think it’s ok to mount it anyway.

Lack of production tolerances could mean they are blinding other drivers...
