Greeting MK6ers
Could a kind sould with OEM xenons take some photos of the beam pattern from their xenons from inside the car whilst shining onto a wall or something in both standard mode and "tourist" mode and post them up please?
Thanks in advance :wink:

Might even do a video of it to include the starting up light show. Wow's all the girls!
-
I'm sure mine don't do the dance when I switch them on. :sad:
Not that I've driven it in the dark yet.

You need to take the lady out at night and she too will dance for you my friend!
Though they drink BP's finest rather than White Wine Spritzers, Cosmo's or Mohito's.
Hold on just had a thought, do girls cost more to run in drinks for the night?
cocktails at say £5/each, they consume two an hour that's £10/ hour. Which sounds equivalent to a spirited drive to me.

You lot are too good to me :wink:

Sorry buddy, alas not the best, got to the car with the gf's camera this morning to find a nice message "Memory Card Full". will put some juice in mine and see what I get tomorrow morning, unless someone else has it.
When I ticked the "Travel Mode" the beam pattern dropped down Certainly on the drivers side) and shifted over more to the driver side. (So looks like you don't get the same range in tourist mode) but it does shift the beam pattern over to the foreign curb.
Planning on a trip to a real German festive market doc? Or maybe stocking up on booze for Chrimbles already?

A little know fact about some cars with projector lights is that they have this function, albeit manually adjusted.
With my B5.5 Passat, you remove one of the covers from the back of the light, fumble about and flick a toggle up or down. It alters the beam pattern by levelling off the beam and shuts off the light that kicks up to illuminate "our" ditch side that would otherwise dazzle Jonathan.

I had a go last night and had the same beam pattern results as Mr F (which is a given really), I attempted a photo but it just looks a complete blurry mess.

Get the jist tho the 1st pic normal mode 2nd pic for europe driving

just tick the box on the mfd and beam moves across instantly, dont know why you wanted these pics :rolleyes: but hope they help :smiley:

I was kind of expecting either a flat line or it to kick to go up to the right hand side.
Thanks for your time, looking for xenons for my wife's new (used) touran but I don't know if I should go for euro ones as they are easy find for sale :wink:

Close up it's hard to notice the difference, but at distance its very noticeable. Unlucky for me US spec ECUs don't come with the Tourist option activated, not even all US Spec ECU's are capable of this function. (working with ross-tech to see if i can activate it with my VCDS *crosses fingers*)

Thank you very much, I understand it so much better now, I was expecting the light cut off to "flatline" but it doesn't so LHD headlamps won't be suitable for Mrs Docs Tig :sad:
Looks like it's going to be VW then.....
