1. Physical Fitment

On a Caddy (2K):

The Touran 1T headlights are similar shape

They bolt up to the same slam panel area

BUT the wings and bumper line need to match

If you’re just swapping lights and keeping:

Standard Caddy wings

Standard Caddy bumper

You’ll normally need:

Slight trimming

Possibly Touran headlight brackets

Some people say they “fit straight in” — they don’t perfectly. Expect minor adjustment.

⚡ 2. Wiring Differences (Most Important Bit)

Your 2k will usually have:

H4 or H7 halogen wiring

10-pin headlight connector

Touran lights often use:

Different pin layout

Separate dipped/main beam wiring

Sometimes different sidelights

You’ll likely need:

Adapter looms (best option)

Or to repin your connectors

If you go for:

Xenon Touran lights → you’ll need ballast wiring + coding

Halogen Touran lights → much easier

💻 3. Coding (VCDS Required?)

Sometimes no coding needed if:

You stay halogen to halogen

You may need coding if:

DRLs behave differently

Bulb warning appears

You move to factory xenons

With your spec it’s usually simple halogen coding.
