Bi-xenon issues

**rageR** · 25-03-2011, 05:58 PM

Sorry if I'm starting a new thread.
Couldn't find any info on this.

Well picked up car 2 days ago, car is great.

Only issue I'm having are my bixenons do not move while in motion while I turn.

Have been in another Gti and the headlights are noticeable they actually move and light up the road in that certain direction.

I have ticked the box in mfd for bending light, but that hasn't solved the problem.

Went to Barloworld Fivedock today, told them the problem.
They then told me that bixenons do not move while you turn, only foglights.
I find that kinda hard to believe.

Could anyone clarify anything on this issue for me, or know how I can fix this.

Cheers

The Bi-Xenon's do turn. Call them up again and get them to read the brochures or manuals

Btw, when I first got the R, I didn't realise notice the lights turning when I was on the actual corners. What I noticed was the lights "straightening back up" when I was past the turn - such as when turning into a suburban street. You also need to be doing over 30km/h or something.

mk6tsi, try out the xenons on a very dark street (no street lights if possible) and travel above 30km/h.

Also, do they move/self level upon ignition?

There lies the problem. You went to Barloworld.....

Problem solved.
Car was in travel mode.

Unticked travel mode in the mfd, now all works as it should.

Wow, that's the result of a bad delivery.
What do we pay ridiculous delivery fees for?
I'm glad you've got it sorted.

The big bow of course?

Not only do mine turn left/right, but at night when I turn the car on, they dip down and then raise up to the normal drive height again. Pretty cool to watch.

Hi
Polo GTI 12.5 bi xenons seem to have a dark area where beams overlap - sort of a "v" shape - causing some problems on country roads at night. Anyone having similar issues? This is my first experience of bi xenons so not sure if it's a problem or just how they work.
Thanks

I was also wondering whether the xenons should move to look into the corner you are entering as my MFD has the "bending light" box checked.... This morning I paid close attention to the headlights and they do turn left and right with cornering as stated above...

Also noted this ^^^ when i started the car.... they seem to go up and down and maybe left/right as a system check before levelling themselves.
