Headlights Bosch or OEM Volkswagen

i had the same error pop up recently, drivers side was burnt out and passenger side was close. replaced them with this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00U1OL44G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 super easy fix and these lights match the color of the headlights.

Loving the Bosch headlights!

SO so so much happier with these headlights after manually leveling them!

The speed at which the lights turn will vary from slowest to quickest. Switch from Eco to Race and you'll easily notice a difference. I keep my lights in race; I've enjoyed how they change directions almost instantly with my steering input to better light the road ahead.

I think a few people asked in this thread if the manual adjustments actually make a difference, and I can confirm what other's have stated...using tape measures today, the manual adjustments change the center height of the self-leveling/adaptive system. It makes logical sense because even under the best of manufacturing conditions, both the headlight units and chasis will vary slightly, requiring the ability for manual adjustments to ensure proper, legal, alignment. About 1.5 turns for my setup seems to keep it within the guidelines for adjusting headlamps. For sure, VW went conservative and had them a bit lower.

I found the headlights to be nice and bright and cutoff at distance down the road seemed pretty good.

I am not at stock height, but I have changed the headlight aiming. What I look for is that the cutoff point is about at the trunkline of cars in front of me and that seems to work well.

The headlights on my GLI are 1495 ea, and that does include bulbs, sensors, motor ext. AFS headlights are a lot of $$$.

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.

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).
