Expert Reply:
I recommend the CurtTrailer Hitch Receiver # C11412 as it is confirmed to fit all trims of your 2015 Volkswagen Golf excluding the R. So, you will have no fitment issues with your TSI. Since you are limited to using a Class I bike rack due to the construction of your Golf the 1-1/4" receiver will help you to not lose ground clearance.
For a compatible bike rack the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 is very versatile. It will carry 2 bikes up to 65lbs each and support them by their frames. The carrier only weighs 45lbs itself and has locks built into the arms that hold the bikes in place as well as the anti-rattle hitch that locks the carrier to your vehicle.
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118646 will allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 since your bikes are going to impair the view of the tail lights on your Golf.
