B7 Passat Visual and assistance package

Yep, 4300k for the Bi-Xenon HID's & they are worth every penny over the standard lights.........

Quick pics of the lights.... I should have cleaned them first....

* LED Daytime running lights:



* HID & DRL's:



Whenever the car is on the DRL's remain on.

Great pics. Quick question. At night when you have your headlights & daytime running lights on, do the daytime running lights dim when you put the indicator light on on that side?

No, the DRL's do not dim when the indicator is used. Why, well I guess one reason is that the front indicator lights are so damn bright that there is no need for the DRL's to dim.

Good point. So many gizmos I don't know which one to play with first. Just hangin to get my car. Dealer says 10-12 working days from the time the ship docked (23rd Jan)!! Surely not that long...

Im still waiting unpatiently for mine...
Have one question..do you guys know what the bulb size/type is for the Foggies and corner lights?
I would like to match the colour of the Bi-xenons.

I have considered the change to LED based fogs & cornering lights but haven't taken it any further than that. I would like to though & have found pics & write up's by a guy in Europe that has done it to his B7 candy white Passat wagon. He had to remove the full fog's assembly from the bumper but fortunately looks like he didn't need to remove the bumper to do so. I am away right now so don't recall where the info is but it is on my computer at home so by weeks end i'll be able to post the link...

OK, here is the link to the guy in Norway that has upgraded his fogs to LED, but also done some other things such as tinting the headlights etc on his B7 wagon.

I thought I recalled him discussing how he put the new LED's in the fogs but that must be somehwere else..... Atleast you can see he has removed the fog light housing without removing the bumper.

Anyway, it is a link to a forum so there is plenty to look at & read.....

Hi Ricker

Clip has done it http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...ods-63701.html Page 2, promised to write up how if someone asked nicely

Amazing how a 1.6 diesel in Norway gets a colour MFD (or at least can be specced up to it)....

[Riker]

Thanks for that reminder mate.... Clips thread could have been what I was recalling...

looks like he installed a HID Xenon 6000k on the fog lights. I dunno
But if anyone can tell me what size bulbs are the foggies that would be great

[cru22z]

one more question please..are the Bi-xenon in the B7 passat the 'Adaptive' types? what I mean is do they swivel when your cornering or turning? or is just the usual corner light that turns on when turning??thanks
