Bulbs for 6C GTI LED UNIT

Post by kyle_frobisher18 »

Hi there,

Just wondering what bulbs are used in the factory fitted 2016/17 6C GTI LED unit. I can't find the type anywhere. Any links would be appreciated.

Thanks

Are you meaning the types of filament bulbs that are also used at the front of that car when it has LED headlights and LED DRLs?

I think you would have to replace the complete headlight unit if you currently have LED headlights. Around £500 per unit I believe :(

The light bulbs in the OEM LED units are a proprietary VW unit but can be replaced separately

5 and 6 are the low and high beams
