Headlight help

[wvmountains]

Driving a 2012 Passat SEL TDI.

ISSUE: my OEM headlights put out terrible light. It’s the old fashioned yellowish halogen capsules and they just light the roadway very good at all. My lens are clear with no yellowing or dull film.

I know this is a big topic on here but I’m hoping for some recommendations regarding LED upgrades. I’ve bought the cheap LED versions that replace the halogens but they simply don’t light well and I get error codes constantly.

I’m 66 and don’t see as well at night now, so I need good headlamps.

Thanks in advance.

These are the same lights sold by lasfit for 100 bucks. I got em and they are perfect. Will need to aim headlamps down after you install. They also take some effort to get to lock into place where they should actually be. Take the time to make sure they do lock in. Use rubber gloves to get grip.

Order "G2" type

if you're old, blueish lights, such as 6000K, wont help you "see" anything any better.

i'd say invest in osram lazers, $30 halogens on amazon.

deAutoLED.com sells a HID kit specifically for VWs with the halogen reflector-style headlights. I have a set with 5K (color temp) bulbs and they are a massive improvement over the halogen low beams. No bulb out errors and no glare issues either. Do a search for them on this site. I highly recommend them.

I love my Lasfit LAG2 led bulbs, simple drop in, no wires, dust caps still fit, 99 bucks on amazon
