Xenon - difference between 15B/16B and 17B/18B

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

does anyone know, what is the difference between Xenon version 5E1941015B/5E1941016B and 5E1941017B/5E1941018B?

 

Right now I have in car 15B/16B and I was thinking, what is the difference in the newer version. In ETKA I can see, that the new ones are "just replacement" and I know, that sometimes the replacements are only "reduced cost".

Does anyone know? i have option to buy 15B/16B, but not sure, maybe the 17B/18B are better.

Hi there.

The units looks absolutely identical, but there may be a difference in UK/European set up.... See below

Thank you, but you are looking for different version. 5E2/5E1. I was looking for 15B/16B and 17B/18B. I think, that they are "the same", but I am not sure. :D

I know on the MK7 Golf there is:-

 

Bi-xenon without LED DRLs, & without AFS

 

Bi-xenon with LED DRLs, & with AFS

 

Bi-xenon with LED DRLs, & with DLA

I suspect the 17/18B are the ones with a black inside, not chrome.

Hi again. I've just taken a look at my headlights from above. (2013)  Octavia III. See pics.

Mine are black inside. 

5E2 941 015B (Left)

5E2 941 016B (Right).

The 17B/18B are obviously the newer units, but I really cannot see any differences, so perhaps they changed over in Model Year 15 or 16?

It would be interesting to see which headlight units are fitted to those cars...
