Key Benefit: Seamless OEM Integration
Unlike aftermarket kits, this retrofit used genuine Volkswagen components and official diagnostic tools, including ODIS and VCP. No wires were spliced, and all coding was performed online, unlocking SFD protection and ensuring the lighting system communicated directly with the vehicle’s BCM and lighting modules. The result was a system that illuminated with the headlights and dimmed gracefully, with no warning lights or errors.
