Looking for LED headlights for your VW Golf MK7? Start with the headlights your car left the factory with, then choose the appearance you want. This guide brings the Gbrite front and rear lighting range together so you can compare designs and go straight to the correct product.
For cars with original halogen headlights, there are five front headlight options across three designs: MK7-style chrome or red, MK7.5-style chrome or red, and RS style with LED show mode. For factory-xenon cars, we offer a delivered conversion kit, in-house fitting enquiries and a separate adapter loom.

First: does your Golf MK7 have halogen or factory xenon headlights?
The original headlight system determines which route you need. A GTI, GTD or R badge alone is not enough to establish electrical compatibility. Check the original headlights or send us your registration and clear photos before ordering.
Original halogen headlights: compare the five individual headlight choices below. They are listed for the specified UK right-hand-drive MK7 2013–2016 halogen setup.
Original factory Bi-Xenon headlights: use the dedicated conversion options. Headlamps intended for a halogen car are not a direct electrical replacement for your factory-xenon setup.
Actual facelift Golf MK7.5: use our Golf MK7.5 lighting range. “MK7.5 style for MK7” describes the appearance of lamps made to fit the earlier MK7.
Golf MK7 halogen cars: five headlight choices, three designs
Choose the daytime running light design first, then the accent colour. Chrome and red are finish choices within the first two designs; the RS-style set is a third design in its own right.
1. MK7-style headlights — Dual U DRL
The familiar MK7 GTD / GTI-inspired design, with Dual U LED daytime running lights and sequential indicators. Choose the accent finish to suit your Golf.
Chrome / GTD — MK7 style
Chrome accents and Dual U LED DRLs. Pair of headlights for the listed factory-halogen MK7.
View Chrome / GTD — MK7 style
Red / GTI — MK7 style

RS-style headlights
Distinctive LED daytime running lights and start-up show mode for the listed factory-halogen MK7.
View RS-style headlightsWhich front headlight design should you choose?
- Choose MK7 style for the familiar Dual U daytime running light signature. Chrome gives a GTD-inspired finish; red adds a GTI-inspired accent.
- Choose MK7.5 style for MK7 for the later Tick-shaped LED DRL appearance without changing the MK7 front body panels. Again, pick chrome or red detailing.
- Choose RS style for a different front lighting signature with animated start-up and LED show mode.
These are styling choices, not confirmation of fitment by trim badge. Match the original lighting system and read the individual listing for lamp functions, supplied components and any model-specific DRL guidance.

Wiring loom only — use your own headlights
Adapter loom for both headlights on the listed factory Bi-Xenon MK7 models, connecting compatible halogen units or aftermarket headlamps designed for the halogen setup. VCDS / VAG-COM coding instructions included. Headlights and fitting are not included.
Shop the conversion wiring loomBought headlights elsewhere? Why we sell the xenon conversion loom separately
Many aftermarket Golf MK7 headlamps are made only for vehicles that originally had halogen headlights. That can leave owners of factory-xenon cars with headlamps they like but connections and a vehicle configuration that do not match.
Our Golf MK7 Bi-Xenon-to-halogen adapter loom is available separately for that reason. You can use your own compatible halogen headlamp assemblies or compatible aftermarket lamps designed for the MK7 halogen setup, including lamps purchased from another supplier.
The loom connects both front headlights using adapter connections, without cutting the original vehicle wiring. It includes VCDS / VAG-COM coding instructions. Headlights, installation and a coding tool are not included. Vehicle coding is required and the original AFS modules must be addressed as directed in the supplied instructions.
Golf MK7 LED rear lights — choose your style
