Here's hoping they last.
My last three cars have had factory LED headlights but not had washer jets only self levelling.
By chance, do you know if the self levelling is built into the light unit itself?
I'm interested about changing mine to LEDs on my B8 passat (currently a halogen unit). However, just curious to know if it needs more then just the whole unit replaced.
Yes it is, but there's a good chance you'll need to do other work too e.g harnasses and making changes to the software as the car won't "know" it has LED lights.
I think the sensor that detects the 'level' is attached to the rear suspension and would need adding too, along with any wiring if it's not already installed.
Surely no one is ever actually going to check the self leveling thing works
Isn't the problem with the self levelling in that you can't control it manually? So if you install them without the sensors, they might be fine, or they might point down or up with no real way to control them? Legitimate question, I know I have factory LED bulbs in a projector housing that still uses the manual 0-4 levelling control on my light dial, not sure how a retrofit would work.
Absolutely fine.
Installed within 5 mins.
Much brighter than before. Not as bright as my Mazdas Xenons.. but not too far off.
Here's hoping they last.
I don't have the little dome lenses, so these are reflector I think.hi again @Diagro
I'm about to order these now as my bulbs have gone
before i do, can I ask if you have projector headlights or reflector ones?
if reflector, ill order some , if not ill get the same ones i have again
cheers
Generally, if the suspension sensor fails, the lights will default to a 'safe for other drivers' position of pointing as far down as possible.
I would imagine if you fitted the lights without the sensor at all, they'd do the same and just default to their lowest possible angle.
if you want brighter halogens go with 100w bulbs.
