Retrofit adaptive xenon onto Skoda superb

Featured Replies

Hi everyone, I just removed the old headlight that had a 10 pin socket and installed the new ones with 14???

is there a diagram around that I can use for this retrofit , but afraid not to burn the ads module.

Thank you for your time.

@Geo59You're post is very unclear (what is an "ads module"🤔 for example), but if you're trying to replace the Halogen headlights by Xenon units, you need (much) more than just the headlights.

You need (at least) the wheel level sensors on front and rear axis, and the ballasts for the head lights, and of course all the wiring for these.

Also you need to program the appropriate modules, so the car electronics know that Xenon head units are installed.

Hi Andrehj, yes you are right I was in a hurry and made a couple of mistakes. I have the afs module ( ads that was autocorrect at his best :)  ) , have the front and back level sensors and xenon modules are attached underneath each headlight. What I need is the wiring schematic ( diagram for the headlight) as at the moment I’m using the car but don’t even have the left right signal working.

You're still forgetting about the reprogramming of (I think the BCM) that is also required. And you have to figure out first whether that it's just reprogramming that's needed, or that you need a different BCM...

Yes you’re right, I did the analog connections and reprogrammed the bcm so at the moment everything works as a normal headlight. Next step is to connect the AFS module and level sensors.

Look at the numbers across the bottom. You're looking for 130 down there. It's not on that diagram.

I figured it out after a coffee, it’s convected to 15 +  . All coded and working perfectly.

Thank you for your help and time . Finally I have adaptive lights. The only thing left to do is install the sensors front and rear

Hello again, after installing the level sensors front and back I did a drive test and noticed that the headlights don’t move… any ideea what can cause this issue? with  vcds  I did the test and alignment and the headlights move whiteout problems or errors. Also the test that usually is done after starting the engine it’s not happening

No one had this issue?

I'd guess it could be a coding issue in one of the control modules. It sounds like the car isn't aware that you have fitted AFS and is therefore not sending the necessary commands to it.
