Just curious, does anyone know if the standard halogen 6c headlights will fit my standard 1.2 6r ? I have damaged a clip inside mine but I Can get a 6c pair on the cheap but don't want to waste time and money I am hoping they are simply plug and play but suspect it may be more complicated ? Anyone ?

I have put 6c headlights on my bluegt.

Straight swap






/ *L*

We're the original blue gt light the single h4 units ? Large indicator above the small sidelight bulb ?

No H7 units. Only the trendline has H4

Mine has h4 units at present ? Very basic, can I swap them as above ?

Yes but it's not plug and play. You will need to make some modifications to make the high beam work properly.

Is it a big job ? I could maybe manage a bit of basic wiring but anything more in depth is out of my comfort zone

I am not sure. I only know a vcds trick for cars with start/stop. For cars with a hardwired system it's a tad more complicated. You will need to re-wire a relay. It's not super difficult...
How it should be done exactly is written somewhere on the German forum.

No problem thanks for helping me decide, looks like a standard replacement for me lol

It is extremely simple (OEM), with our help.

Well if the 6c lights turn up at the price I was told then I will be in touch ciclo

For anyone who wants to do so.

Once installed the twin headlights (6R or 6C) in 6R non Bluemotion:

with this new wire

you have to do this:



example 1 (model year A,B,C):


Note: If your 6R is 'model year A' it's possible that the violet/grey wire be yellow color.


example 2 (model year D,E):

That looks simple enough, I am assuming plugs etc are the same, I'll see which lights they are when they turn up, I now have a sneaking suspicion they are the twin h7 from the 6r will it be the same method to the wiring ?

twin H7 is absolutely plug and play
