it really depends on if this is a euro-spec or a US/Canadian spec Golf. The
US/Canadian lamps had the connectors at each bulb whereas the Euro ones have
one connector on the outside of the lamp and all the wiring to each bulb was
taken care of inside the lamp shell between the back of the lamp and the
back of the reflectors themselves. The Euro one would be a direct swap but
the US/Canadian would require minor rewiring.

Also if it's a US car, you might want to consider this swap...to dual-bulb
Euro units:

That same site shows the dual-bulb US units as $120/side (so $240 total) and
these Euro units are $325. So for just $85 more you get the superior
Euro-spec lamp units anyway. Looks like it's plug-n-play as a kit too
except for minor modification to the radiator support (the Euro and US cars
had a difference here that affected the lamp mounting).
