I would like to change my halogen headlamps on my 2017 Golf to LED lights.
Can I use a conversion kit set from LUMEN with canbus plug and play converters or am I required to purchase an entire LED headlamp set from Volkswagen?

Hi there,
Bulb conversion kits are not allowed to be added to existing headlights if the headlights are not designed for them.
So you will need to change the complete (approved standard by NZ) headlamps to ones compatible with the bulb type.
