The US has "Matrix Design Headlights". The full Matrix functionality is currently not available in North America.

Not from the factory. However, it can be activated with some software changes through ODIS.

If you have ODIS and a VAS tool, you can activate the Matrix lights and blue LED by way of getting the proper parametrization files. I paid someone 200$ from a different forum to use my setup to remote in and update my car to EU full paramaterizaiton. These are flashed through ODIS-E using the VAS tool. You need the ZDC, compare PR codes and adjust as necessary based on your vin and modules installed. There are websites like vw-gecko, vaglogins, and the like.

You need to work modules 09, D6, D7, A5

When you have the proper datasets/index files loaded, you can then activate the matrix lights and blue LED

For blue laser light, with the proper software loaded, you send

PDU "11 02"

to your light modules D6 and D7 to turn the blue laser/background light/sport LED/whatever you want to call it

The issue is learning how to use the software for people who aren't technologically adept with the risk of bricking your modules. On the flip side, I'm not a fan of people extorting 600-900$ to activate the lights. It's nothing fancy to do, and in my opinion goes against the modding community at heart. It has turned into a cash grab and it pisses me off, which is why I'm sharing this here

For me, paying someone 200$ to do it was much more fair given my experience with the tools but lack of desire to get into zdc files and mess around too much.

If you are unsure what headlights you have from the factory you can always shoot an email over with your VIN: contact@europrice.us

As for the animations, these can be car specific due to what factory modules are installed in the vehicle. Some modules will not output animations at all and others will only output certain animations. So not something that is offered here due to those variations which aren't simply determinable via VIN.

Cheers,
I went through Europrice and mine work great!
I have fully functioning blue light and matrix!

Glad to make this complex procedure super easy and hassle free for all customers, whether they are technical or not.

Also very happy to hear that you are enjoying the full benefits of your headlights!

Cheers,
