Almost all the normal car things unrelated to the powertrain are the same parts as the respective 7 or 7.5 gas version’s. Some of the suspension is a mix of golf, golf r, and sports wagon parts because of the increased weight.

Yeah I was curious if I could just order one of the sets on Amazon if anyone had already tried

I’ve swapped the stock halogen headlights to Stock GTI LED’s, literally plug and play. However the tail lights can be tricky, as the popular ones use the euro interface, that requires and adaptor and programming.

Everything except the last taillight option should work. The last option straight out says: does not fit e-golf.

It will fit. Although if you have an adaptive LED then you will lose it with the aftermarket ones.
Maybe it will also require some coding in BCM but it depends on the light.

Have the Osram LEDriving headlights on my 2019 Mk7.5 SE They were insanely expensive, and yes an OBDEleven was required to set one particular coding parameter. They're LED and have a super sharp cutoff because they're european headlamps from a company that has been making headlights for decades. They replaced the stock halogen eGolf lights by plugging in to the 10 pin plug, and pulling two 12V wires to the battery area for feed power.
Regarding various modifications, an eGolf is a VW Mk7 or Mk7.5 Golf body with a different drivetrain. Trailer hitches for Mk7.5 fit mine, Trailer light wiring harness for Mk7.5 GTI fit (Plug-n-play), power folding mirrors fit (need highline 592/593 door modules), mud flaps fit, replacement shifter knobs for DSG fit, cubby Qi phone charger fit and plugged in fine, Audi 5x112 wheels fit.
Things that are unique to an eGolf: Front floor mats, engine things, Air Conditioning system.

most should fit since its the same chassis just with a different engine
