The MK6 Golf R uses a 14-pin Bi-Xenon harness, while most aftermarket headlights are 10-pin. This R-specific harness handles the 14 - 10 conversion and accounts for the Golf R’s unique DRL layout.
Key Features
Converts the R’s 14-pin Bi-Xenon to 10-pin aftermarket pinout
Designed for the Golf R’s DRL in the bumper: two-way harness feeds both the aftermarket headlight and the factory bumper DRL so all lighting works as intended
Plug-and-play with OEM-style connectors
AFS / Auto-Leveling (Read First)
AFS is not supported by 10-pin aftermarket lights. Disable AFS in coding to prevent errors.
Auto-leveling is not supported. Disable it in coding to avoid faults.
If not coded out, AFS-related faults are benign and do not affect light operation, but coding them out is recommended.
Fitment & Compatibility
MK6 Golf R (PQ35) use this R-specific harness
For non-R MK6 / PQ35 cars, use the standard 14-10 harness (separate listing)
Important: If you’re unsure, send photos of your connectors or your VIN and I’ll confirm the correct harness before you order.
Why This Harness
The Golf R places DRLs in the bumper. Generic 14→10 harnesses don’t address this. This version integrates the bumper DRL while adapting to 10-pin aftermarket headlamps for a near-factory experience.
