I think you must have had the last two retaining rings from VW Doc as they are now on back order  :cry:

My Tiguan full OEM retro-fit will have to wait a few more days  :smiley:

Sorry  :embarassed:

They were showing four when I bought mine  :smiley:

On, working tired.

No leveling but to be fair I didn't even look into it - joy task for next week  :rolleyes:

Everything else works - photos of sidelight bulbs will be posted later when I get 5  :wink:

Doc:
You've been a very busy bee. :cool:
Any chance you are going to brim the honeypot with manual levelling? :grin:

Yes, but not this week!!!
I didn't even look inside the lamps I removed to work out the levelling but you can bet your ass I'll be looking on Monday morning  :smiley:
Doc, you are a star. :wink:

Any news?

Am I correct in thinking that not a single member has retro fitted genuine xenon's?

Not a member but do know of someone who has retro fitted the golf r ones but last I heard he was having issues with the full beam not working.

And I can see why Full beam would be a problem as it's controlled by CAN via the headlamp controller, It can be activated on non-xenon cars but you need to do some cutting and snipping inside the headlamps - simple enough though  :smiley:

Please re-phrase.  :shocked:

What specific photos of the headlamps would you like?

Sorry to barge in, but do you have a picture of the lighting pattern. I am interested to see the 'Branchespark Wart', if you don't mind. Not being nasty or anything, 'cause I don't feel it can be so unnerving. Possibly can be more annoying with the cornering function, but not when static.



Now I am totally confused.
