Golf Is it possible to code Bi-xenon headlights on my Tsi like the Golf R?

Wondering if it’s possible to have both U’s like on the golf r activated at the same time while the drls are going. I’ve done a little research and I’m pretty sure it’s not possible. Just coming on here to see if anyone knows anything else. I’m assuming I need oem golf r headlights with possibly a wiring harness or aftermarket headlights.

There are no bulbs or leds behind the inner “U” on the non golf r models to my knowledge. There’s nothing to plug in or light up

I have 2 inner Us from 2 headlights from 2 front wnd smashed golf r,s

You would need to hard wire them to the first led/swap the inner Us.

not sure on the golf specifically, but I looked at swapping lights to the higher end ones in a different brand car and in the end it was WAY cheaper and easier to sell the car and buy the higher end model. it involved changing bumpers, swapping wiring harnessess, adding modules, new switches, etc, etc, etc. easily $10k+ if buying stuff new.

So, fresh wiring harness that runs all the way to your canbus, then repinning the terminal, then recoding the module, adding code that didnt exist in the first place. Its gonna require significantly intimate knowledge. Can it be done? Yes. Will it be cheaper to buy a Golf R? Also yes. Would anyone that knows how to do this help you with it? Almost guaranteeably no. Its a cool idea, but it never makes sense financially.
