that’s a bummer! I had a similar issue with my old Jetta after an accident. I had to rush since it is illegal to drive without headlights. OEM replacements are definitely the safest bet if you want everything to work as intended, but yeah, they can cost a fortune. Since they're really from the brand manufacturer. I’ve heard good things about Morimoto for aftermarket options, they’re solid and usually work well with OEM wiring. Worth a look! and maybe ask a car shop if it's compatible.I recently purchased a 2017 GTI that was previously in an accident. The headlights were replaced with aftermarket units that aren't compatible with the original lighting package. I'm wondering if there are any options for replacing the headlights with OEM parts or compatible aftermarket replacements.
If the previous owner messed with the wiring or coding to add some lighting that didn’t come stock, you could hit up a recycled parts shop for used units - way cheaper.I recently purchased a 2017 GTI that was previously in an accident.
