Headlights Bosch or HELIX

aka_deno said: Here you guys go. recorded it this morning. Sorry there is no sound other then me walking around the front of my car lol. First is DRL's only. Headlights witch in Off or Auto mode. The LED's turn off on the side when a blinker turns on (Not in video) but you can disable this in vagcom. (I like the LED's off during blinker, looks more OEM) THen Parking lights or running lights whatever you want to call them. LED's stay ON with blinker. Then Low Beam (This has the Pre-installed HID kit with 5000k bulbs. Wish they would offer 4500 as the 5000k is a whiteish blue, i like OEM 4300 or 4500 where its true white white, with a tad of yellow) The cutoff line is deep blue for some reason when i am driving around. Then High beams. I also have Lamin-x on the headlights, put that on before installing the headlights. Oh and NO the LED's dont blink in real life, just on camera. But this gives a good look at what they look like during daytime (post rain)

My goal with the TDI was to outfit it the way I would have ordered it from the factory.

I have helix headlights with drop in HID,s. I have had them for little over 2 years now and I really like them. Like Dion said though you need to be careful in adjusting them as the plastic inner piece will break, mine did so I took it apart and fixed it. I have adjusted them a few times since then with no problems, I was just more careful. The beam out put is very nice. Once I got them aimed correctly I never get flashed by on coming cars and I see the whole road a lot better.

I installed original Bosch european headlights that I had planned to install on the car before the accident happened.

I've got the Helix OEM reps on my car. My only gripe with them is that I maxed out the driver side height adjustment and once it stopped moving I didn't try to adjust it more...that's how the adjusters break. Light output is better them OEM...I find any ecode pattern is better then the DOT blob.

OE - HID headlights made by Bosch

Taking the challenge, I bought the headlights to give them a whirl. The housings fit great in the front clip assembly. Body lines and overall fit + finish is spectacular for aftermarket lights. And the price is reasonable compared to hard to find and overly expensive OEM HIDs.

The Helix/Depo Headlights from urotuning.com were very ascetically pleasing; identical to OEM R32 headlights from afar. The HID kit went in perfectly and were completely installed from start to finish in under an hour. Unfortunately, there was good and bad to the headlights themselves. On both headlights, the cutoff is great, the highbeams are great and they look beautiful installed. The passenger side needed very little adjustment. The driver side needed some slight adjustment to level out; however, a hotspot was extremely present and unadjustable. The hotspot currently points into the opposing lane causing my visibility to be diminished.

I'm having the same exact same issue. Got mine thursday install Friday and they work fine with no errors. Now Sunday DRLs flicker on startup and only now work when the headlights are turned on. And also... condensation. It's not your install it is the cheap Chinese lights not working correctly.

last year i did the mistake of buying them and they will not fit anf the light is not that good.
