I have Euro Golf R headlights on my Canadian GTI with xenon lights. The headlights were almost plug and play except for some coding for the LED turn signal. But, the highbeams don't work.

Can verify: B7 NMS Passat headlights are complete garbage. Aftermarket HIDs are almost required.
There should be a lower category specifically for the Passat. worst. headlights. ever. The shame is that a big part of the problem is that they are simply aimed at the ground about 100' in front of the car.
Well the Tiguan was finished in less than 24 hours and it's like a totally new vehicle! I don't know to what extent things were amiss with the car before the really noticeable thing (headlights) prompted more investigation, but it drives and shifts so much better now that it's been fixed.
I have a nice set of mk3 1993-1999 volkswagen jetta smoked e-code headlights. Better light output than factory US headlamps.
About 3 weeks ago, my right headlight (HID with AFS swivel motors) goes out and I get the message in the MFD - \"AFS Inoperative\" followed by \"Lower Right Dipped Beam out\" (or something to that effect).
So I figured out why the headlamps were not aiming at the same level.. it's cuz the auto body shop replaced my left headlight with a new one without adjusting it. So I manually adjusted the light using the adjusting screws to match the right side.
I have the standard head lights. I think they are great. The way I look at it one less then to go wrong. Plus I saved $1600.00.
The AFS system is amazing, BUT I find that even the base standard headlights is sufficiently bright at night. Even on the dark texas roads. I've driven a number of japanese and domestic vehicles in the past couple of years, and nothing with standard headlights comes close to the passats standard headlights in terms of brightness and amount of coverage it shines on the road.
The vanagon square lights are awful.
