    B7 Passat xenon Headlight upgrade?

    Hey guys,
    Thinking of putting xenon headlights (genuine) into my Passat.
    Can these be coded as my car has halogens.
    Thanks

    Wont be cheap as you need washers and auto levelers to do it legally and last time it was priced up was about $4k

    Will need a different front bumper for the washers as well Mine was different from the halogens and Im not sure if those units fit

    My B7 has xenons ex factory. They self level but there are no washers. You will also have to change out the DRLs as the xenons come with LED running lights built in.

    No, it's just a blank and I've seen the front bumper off when one of the HIDs was replaced under warranty. No washers. Either that or I've had the car for 7 years and haven't yet found them which is most unlikely.

    Oh well I never noticed mine work so you could be right but then I hardly used the thing any way only did 43000k in nearly 8 years. Strange that they say it needs them and then dont have them Wonder what lumens the HID.s are then>

    OK UPDATE I looked through the actual spec sheet of my car and it says in one line

    118 8X1 SWR Headlight washer system.

    In another line it lists Heated nozzle for windscreen washers

    They work like this video of a B6 YouTube

    Well... You got my interest Hillbilly. I even got out the manual and read it up, then tried the windscreen washers. And yes, the headlights got a wash too! I wonder what other neat features the Passat has that I don't know about?
