Hello,

I would like to know if someone tried/achieved to retrofit full led headlight on a Seat Arona or a Seat Ibiza on a car with halogen housing, I've found some thread talking about retrofitting led headlight on Leon MK3 but didn't found any about Ibiza or Arona, I'm currently driving with some led projector that I bought on Aliexpress, but I would like to upgrade to OEM. The kit of OEM headlight is available on Kufatec, but seems too expensive for me, while you can find a pair of led headlight on Ebay for 1/3 of it, but if Kufatec does it, then it's possible to do it at home too, right ?

Ps: I'm french so excuse me for the bad english

you can retrofit it, but it will be hand adjustable, because led uses automatic level, i did it on my previous ibiza, i
you need ELSA win or something to show you the wiring diagram, because is not the same.
once u get all the wiring correct it works, you need to change on vag com after because signal will show and faulty on dash.
mine was two months on car, but one day i was driving at night and they gone off had to turn off the car remove the key and try turn on after few minutes to get them back on. you need the wiring diagram for your lights and for led lights before even attempt to buy the led lights

its possible but need wiring from the back to the front, the levels are at back, you need wiring diagram from both because u need to change pin to match the led plugs, diagram will show signal, high beam u just need to change whatever is not on same to the right place on led.
the level sensor i never done so i sujest to go to ross tech forums and there will be instruction on how to wire the sensors

Could I get those diagrams pls I’m doing the same as you on my Arona and I could tell you it could be possible by your hand but maybe a long process so if you go to the kufatec option yes it maybe looks expensive at first but after all what I’ve had done and what I expend doin it ..gets kinda similar that expend at the kufatec option one. (Until now I only get done DRL and low lights)
