Xenon Lights Replacement

[ope126]

Cant with mine as has auto levelling. Maybe you can screw them up (in more ways than one) to fool the leveller

All Passat's with Bi-Xenon's have auto levelling.
But the manual adjustments are there too.
My drivers side light is a bit too low, so I will look to see what can be done!
And yes they do the dance on start up!

The autolevelling is to adjust for loading the rear of the car. the manual adjustments are for adjusting the baseline level for bi xenon on a flat surface.

booba has hit it on the head. Mine were a little low so I lifted them up a little to give a better throw. Just gotta do something about the light output as my old AU XR8 had better light output. Maybe the xenons lose their light output due to use.

What do you mean it went orange? Never heard of this before, how is that possible?

Mine went purple for a week, then blue

Hey guys my Passat Xenon light has gone orange.



What/where is cheapest place to get them changed in Sydney



Thanks

I have bought my D1S bulbs from PowerBulbs. I bought Osram night breaker unlimited for around $140 each delivered. Don't buy xenon bulbs from eBay, they are all fake. The first set that I bought from eBay were fake.

$140 each is a little steep isn't it?? I might be wrong but that seems a little exxy!

About right for the Nightbreaker I'd think. OEM std D1S is more like $100. What would you expect to pay for a genuine, name brand OEM spec D1S? (links please)

You are 100% correct, you get what you pay for, and if it is too good to be true, it probably isn't, especially on eBay or Amazon. The market is flooded with counterfeit bulbs.

The fake bulbs sell for $150 for the pair, and they are worthless, they might as well damage your car...
$140 for the night breaker unlimited is not excessive at all.
You probably need to replace both bulbs, or you might notice a bit of difference between old and new bulb.

So is there any difference in light output as I am not really happy with mine. As I have said previously, the output on my old AU XR8 was better than the xenons in the R36.
