    It's bright like, if I were to accidentally break some road law, im quite sure everyone will be able to see my rego from a mile away. I'm going to try black tape half the light to reduce the brightness.

    If it's too bright, I'm sure that some "window tint" will probably fix that.

    It's the MY12 with the Bi-Xenon option

    Great idea, but won't that change the look of the "white" light?

    Also, if it's standard on the MY12, why can't we just get the led globes or housing of those and then recode to remove errors?

    No, it should be fine. After all, people have been tinting headlights and taillights for years and it's fine. Use a "grey"/"Charcol" tint and it'll be fine...

    You can... it's been discussed earlier in this thread. The problem is:
    1) they're more expensive, around $100 for the pair.
    2) they're (randomly) giving error codes with <MY12 cars, and there is currently no VCDS fix.

    Thanks for clearing that up. That cost I'm assuming is for new housings as well. I guess I'll wait, as I don't want to look like I'm driving a mobile solarium.
