Neat!

A good looking model I do admit. The headlights are tiny though on the road. How's teh beam pattern?

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Beam pattern on the lights is good although the stock halogens don't have much output. The stock lights respond very well to drop-in HID kits, so you can double the output for under $200 and the light control is excellent.

We've posted some comparison pics in another thread.

I can tell you it felt great passing a Smart Car and knowing that the Passat was in a whole different dimension....and had better fuel mileage!
