At night it lights up the road for miles

My R wagon has the LED headlights with dynamic masking and cornering lights. Adjustment seems fine as delivered.

I love the dynamic matrix masking of Hi beam as it can light up the sides of the road (where 'roos and wombats sometimes lurk) without dazzling other drivers. NB this function doesn't work when you are in Eco mode (as I discovered when I went to show off to my Missus - I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working until later on at home when I googled the problem). The headlight switch needs to be on the "Auto" setting, and push the lights wand forward once when travelling above 60kmh to get it started.

I'm not so impressed with the throw of high beam, it doesn't seem to penetrate as far as I hoped it would. Or maybe I've just been spoilt by the aftermarket HID Hi beam on my Van (dedicated reflector). If it is a serious concern I suggest you arrange a drive at night where you can see for yourself what the performance is like.

There is a (very small) underseat tray on the (manual) passenger's front seat, but not on the (electric) driver's seat.

There is a draw under the manual passenger seat but not the electric drivers seat.

On the review side this fellow does really good reviews plenty of detail covers R GTI Type R etc.

OK stand corrected there the draw is handy though mine was the first Wolfsburg 7.5

A Golf R thread discussing the status of an under-seat drawer. :facepalm: :P

Sigh, good point.

I don't smoke but why don't I get a $50 option like the Fatherland for my Raucherausführung - Aschenbecher und Zigarettenanzünder vorn*!?

I think you’re looking for the mk6 thread with bros posting pics of their lowered cars and comparing track times and **** sizes

No draw on the passengers side either if you spec the dynaudio space is used for the subwoofer

I have dynaudio and passenger seat drawer (subwoofer is inside space saver spare on my June 27 build Golf R wagon).
