Description
Here at VX Tuning, our goal has always been to provide headlights that feel, look, and perform better than OEM. This has been our motto since we first began offering complete headlight assemblies back in 2013. From the very beginning, we were strongly against cutting or modifying factory housings… and for years, we never did.
But there is one exception — and these headlights are it.
It took us years to finally be convinced to cut and modify halogen headlights and convert—“retrofit”—them with projectors. After endless questions, requests, and messages from our customers, we finally decided to offer a retrofit option. But before releasing anything, we invested the time to research, prototype, and engineer a solution that delivered the cleanest, most OEM+ look possible, while still being completely unique to VX Tuning.
Since launching them, the response has been incredible. These retrofit headlights have been a huge success, and we owe that to the years of research, the custom parts we developed, and the attention to detail that make our retrofits stand out from the typical retrofitted headlights offered elsewhere. We can confidently say we succeeded.
Ever since, these headlights have remained one of our most requested options and have received countless positive reviews and feedback—from customers, enthusiasts, forums, and even YouTube feature videos. Because of the amount of labor, precision, and customization required, we only build them in small batches, typically every other month. This production method ensures the highest quality, and it’s the way we plan to continue offering them moving forward.
Now, let’s talk about the headlights themselves.
Our VXT Retrofit Headlights begin with a brand-new set of VXT Ecode housings, which are then professionally retrofitted and modified with your choice of Bi-LED projectors.
NOTE:
These are not our Jetta VXT FXR Headlights. These headlights begin as halogen ECODE housings, which are then professionally modified and retrofitted with a Bi-LED projector and the finish of your choice. These are known as our “Retrofits.”
These headlights are made in very small batches every other month. So please contact us for availability and detailed pricing

HEADLIGHT LENSES
PROJECTOR
VXT 2.5” Bi-LED Projector (Integrated OSRAM LED Chip)
Standard/Included
Our VXT Bi-LED projector delivers a hotspot comparable to the Morimoto Mini H1 8.0 paired with an XB 45K bulb and XB55 ballast.
Its Kuria optic clear lens and curved cutoff shield create a wide beam pattern with a sharp, colorful ECE-sloped cutoff.
Unlike early aftermarket LED projectors that use generic LEDs, our VXT unit features a specially developed OSRAM CSP chipset.
It shares performance and quality similar to the Morimoto M-LED but with two key advantages:
-
Built-in Drivers – No external drivers to mount, no holes drilled into rear covers.
-
Cost Efficiency – Comparable performance without the $400-per-projector price tag.
Bi-LED Technology Advantage
Bi-LED retrofits offer the cleanest and most modern lighting solution available. Unlike HID systems, you can forget about separate bulbs, external ballasts, or extra wiring such as relay harnesses. A Bi-LED projector is a fully integrated unit designed for simplicity and reliability:
-
Built-in driver that regulates power
-
Integrated low and high beam control
-
Osram LED chipset providing crisp, powerful illumination
While HID has traditionally been the benchmark for maximum output, today’s Bi-LED projectors come incredibly close in performance. Their efficiency, durability, and plug-and-play design have made them the preferred choice for OEM-plus retrofits.

Built to Order
Our retrofit headlights are individually crafted based on your selected finish, projector type, and custom add-ons. Every set goes through a detailed multi-step process — retrofitting, wiring, sealing, adjustment, and final testing. To maintain our OEM+ standards, production is limited and completed in small batches.
Current lead time: 2–3 weeks.
Warranty
By purchasing these headlights, you acknowledge and agree to all terms and conditions.
Projector Retrofit Craftsmanship Warranty
Our craftsmanship warranty is guaranteed for 12 months against any defects directly related to the services performed by VXTuning. What that means is that as long as you own the lights for that period of time, we’ll make any needed repairs, fixes or adjustments or if something fails or goes wrong with our specific services or labor. ” Excludes glass lenses”. This warranty only covers the original purchaser of the conversion only and will not transfer to future owners. After 30 days, the customer is required to pay for return shipping costs related to warranty repair work; we only take care of the warranty related service as well as the return shipping costs. We will not ship a new assembly under any circumstance if headlight needs to be repaired or worked on under warranty, unless it arrives broken. Therefore, all warranty work must be done in the original headlight purchased.
Examples of a defect could be a projector shroud that has dislodged or projector beam that is not rotationally level to a reasonable degree. Since there are inconsistencies and slight variances within all headlight components & mounting points, we cannot guarantee the projectors to be perfectly aligned during certain conversions; however the services required to correct the issue are fully covered under our Craftsmanship Warranty. We have completed thousands of conversions over the years and consider projector retrofits to be a minimal risk service.
All our Morimoto/Profile headlight build components carry worry free individual manufacturers warranties directly through TRS (TheRetrofitSource). We are able to help process these warranties if the items were purchased from us, and you are the original owner.
Now there are definitely some exceptions to this warranty so people cannot just randomly take advantage, and here are the reasons:
· If the client decides to open his/her headlight
· If the client tampers with the seal anywhere on the lights
· If the client sends the headlights to another retrofitter
· If the clients’ headlight have been sold or given away
No Return/No Refund Policy
-
- Customization Finality: All custom-made, modified, or special-order items are final sale.
-
- No Returns/Refunds: Because these items are built to specific customer specifications, they are not eligible for modification, return, or refund once completed. Exceptions may only be made in cases of damage or a verified manufacturer’s defect upon arrival, subject to approval.
- Deposit Forfeiture: Deposits are often non-refundable. Failure to pay the final balance within a specified timeframe (e.g., 7-30 days) may lead to order cancellation and loss of deposit.
Condensation Warranty
Contrary to popular beliefs, car headlights are not hermetically sealed. Each of them has few ventilation holes through which air circulates. This is necessary because halogen bulbs, xenon burners including LED Projectors, generate a lot of heat, which must be effectively dissipated. Unfortunately, air moisture penetrates through the ventilation holes into the headlight. The polycarbonate housing is located at the contact point of warm air inside the headlight and usually cooler air outside. If the air inside the headlight has a relative humidity of 50% and a temperature of 20 degrees, it is sufficient for the ambient temperature to drop to 9 degrees for a mist to form on the inside of the lamp.
This is completely natural. Condensation usually disappears after just a few miles of driving when the air circulating inside the headlight unit removes moisture effectively.
This is perfectly visible when a car leaves the car wash in the summer – this is when headlights fogging occurs most often even though the ambient temperature is high.
However, it is necessary to distinguish between a slight fog, which usually occurs close to the edge of the lamp shade, and a situation in which moisture condenses inside the headlight, not to mention “standing water”. It is then worth making sure that the rear covers and gaskets are sealed properly. If so, it means that the headlight could be leaking water from somewhere – there could be an opening in the covers or between the lens. If this is the case, then that’s where we need to take action and step in.
While we cannot guarantee that condensation will not occur, we take all the precautions possible to make sure it does not occur. Many times we see headlights that have never been opened have traces of condensation. The opening and resealing of any headlight by anyone other than VX Tuning is not recommended and will void the condensation warranty. There is no condensation warranty on any headlight that has been previously opened prior to the service VX Tuning provides.
LED Accessory Add-On – Warranty & Disclaimer
VXTuning offers many different types of LED accessories that can be installed inside the headlights during a headlight build, projector conversion, during a custom paint job, or even as a stand alone option. Heat is the number one enemy of any LED product. OEM LED headlights come prepared with massive cooling fins or electronic fans installed to keep heat to a minimum. Aftermarket products that we supply do not have this type of cooling capacity. Prolonged exposure to heat may cause a LED product such a demon eye, halo, or strip to prematurely fail. While the products we supply are specifically made to be mounted inside headlight assemblies, they are designed to be universal, and some applications may experience more issues than others. Any color changing product carries a much higher risk of failure when compared to a white/amber switchback product. Color changing products such as demon eyes, halos, and strips also rely on a color changing handheld or Bluetooth controller. Bluetooth controllers rely on compatibility with constantly changing mobile phones and software updates that can lead to syncing or connectivity issues. If you have any doubt about the use of a color changing product installed inside your headlights; we recommend against installing it. By asking us to supply and install the color changing RGB/RGBW product, you accept the fact that the product will most likely fail at some point in time. In most cases LED driver replacement will remedy the issue of a faulty product that does not produce the proper color for example. LED drivers are mounted outside the headlight assembly which will not require the headlight to be opened again. In worst case scenarios, the demon eye, halo, or strip itself can fail. This would require us to re-open the headlight and replace the defective product. While the product will be covered under the manufacturers warranty, any labor associated to the replacement of LED accessories is considered billable labor time. Again, if in doubt, please do not ask us to install any of these extra options. We’re happy to offer honest feedback on any given product at any time, but overall these LED accessories carry a large risk we want our customers to be aware of.
All our Morimoto/Profile headlight build components carry worry free individual manufacturers warranties directly through TRS (TheRetrofitSource). We are able to help process these warranties if the items were purchased from us, and you are the original owner.
Our VXT HID Kits, carry a 6 month warranty against any manufacturer defect. Diagnostic, HID component or otherwise vehicle system related issues, function-ability & any component specific related malfunctions are NOT covered by our warranty.
Glass Lenses:
Due to the nature of glass material and the production process, our glass lenses may have minor imperfections hard to capture by camera (miniature scratches, bubbles) which is normal for the product. They will not affect the light output nor its functionality, guaranteed. We offer a DIY video in our home page which should help with the installation of our lenses, however, we always recommend professional installation. All of our lenses are sold in pairs (Left & Right) otherwise noted. There is absolutely NO refund or returns accepted once lenses have been installed or test fitted. We are NOT responsible if buyer breaks or damages the lens before or during installation, unless package arrives damage and we are notified no more than 24 hours after delivery.
By purchasing these headlights, you acknowledge and agree to all terms and conditions.
