if you want to get a pair of genuine VW LED headlights, you're already looking at about 1000 euros. keep this in mind if you consider fitting them.

just make sure you're getting a 6C2 part number headlight since that's for RHD. 6C1 is LHD

Well that's a helpful start, buying some LHD ones would not be handy haha.

So what is next? I see several mentions of bcm codes and such, as I said I have an OBD II reader but it's a bluetooth dongle that connects to my phone or laptop, so really it's about getting the right software, are you able to advise?

I'm not very familiar with coding outside of my trusted VCDS software
