1. Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation and use of the Kufatec Halogen to Xenon Adapter. This adapter kit is designed to facilitate the conversion of halogen headlights to xenon headlights in compatible vehicles, specifically the VW Scirocco III models up to the year 2009. Manufactured in Germany, this product ensures a reliable and straightforward upgrade.
2. Safety Information
- Always disconnect the vehicle's battery before beginning any electrical work to prevent short circuits or electrical shock.
- Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the ignition key is removed.
- If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified automotive technician.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and eye protection.
- Handle electrical components with care to avoid damage.
3. Package Contents
Verify that all components are present before starting the installation:
- Kufatec Halogen to Xenon Adapter Kit (includes necessary wiring and connectors)

4. Setup and Installation
This adapter kit is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps carefully:
- Preparation: Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected. Access the headlight assembly area in your VW Scirocco III (models up to 2009).
- Locate Existing Connectors: Identify the existing halogen headlight connectors on your vehicle's wiring harness.
- Connect Adapters: Simply insert the Kufatec adapters between the existing vehicle wiring harness connectors and the new xenon headlight connectors. The adapters are designed for a direct plug-and-play fit.
- Bi-Xenon Specific Wiring (if applicable): If you are installing Bi-Xenon headlights, an additional cable is provided with the kit. This cable must be routed and connected to the vehicle's onboard control unit (BCM - Body Control Module). Refer to your vehicle's service manual for the exact location and connection points of the onboard control unit.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all connections are firm and secure to prevent accidental disconnections or electrical issues.
- Test Functionality: Reconnect the vehicle's battery. Turn on the ignition and test the functionality of the new xenon headlights, including high beams, low beams, and any other integrated functions.
Note: The product image is symbolic and the actual appearance may vary slightly depending on the specific vehicle model and production batch.
5. Operating Instructions
Once correctly installed, the Kufatec adapter facilitates the proper electrical communication between your vehicle's system and the new xenon headlights. The operation of the headlights will then be controlled by your vehicle's standard headlight switch and systems, as if they were factory-installed xenon units.
- Turn on your vehicle's headlights as you normally would.
- Verify that both low beam and high beam functions operate correctly.
- Check for any dashboard warning lights related to lighting systems. If a warning light appears, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
6. Maintenance
The Kufatec adapter is a passive electrical component and requires minimal maintenance.
- Periodically inspect the connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion or damage.
- Keep the adapter and its wiring clean and free from excessive dirt or moisture.
- Avoid exposing the adapter to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installation, consider the following:
- Headlights Not Functioning:
- Check all electrical connections to ensure they are fully seated and secure.
- Verify that the vehicle's battery is properly reconnected and charged.
- Ensure the new xenon headlights themselves are functional and correctly installed.
- For Bi-Xenon setups, confirm the additional cable is correctly connected to the onboard control unit.
- Dashboard Warning Lights:
- Some vehicles may require coding or adaptation of the onboard control unit after headlight conversion to recognize the new xenon lights and prevent error messages. This adapter kit handles the electrical connection, but vehicle-specific coding may be necessary. Consult a qualified technician or vehicle diagnostic tool for coding procedures.
- Double-check all connections for loose wires or improper seating.
- Intermittent Operation:
- Inspect for any damaged wiring or connectors.
- Ensure the adapter is not exposed to excessive vibration or heat.
- If problems persist, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional automotive electrician or the product manufacturer.
