Headlights OEM FORD or OEM Volkswagen

OEM Volkswagen Headlights

In my case, about 1/2 to 3/4 CCW turn with philips screwdriver did the trick - now headlights aim just a little higher on each side… Importantly, I am not getting flashed by oncoming drivers while using the low-beam headlights.

Pros: headlights aim higher
Cons: initially aimed low

I ended up adjusting mine by 0.5 turns and they're great now. I guess yours could be even worse from the factory than mine were.

Pros: great improvement
Cons: massive disappointment initially

Especially since upgrading to ADB (adaptive driving beam) headlights. Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) in VW speak. Best mod ever. If you drive at night, this is a game changer for night vision, spotting deer etc.

Pros: game changer, night vision

Guys, I have successfully retrofitted genuine SEL Premium LED headlights to the car. This was the most challenging retrofit I'd ever done, not because of the wiring, but because of the coding and troubleshooting.

Pros: successfully retrofitted
Cons: challenging retrofit

So, I opened my headlights on my 17. It is like others have said a painful process. Main reason is because the factory glue sealing the headlights is very difficult to melt, I had to bake my lights for quite a while to get it to loosen up. And even then the factory glue is basically impossible to get all the way off. Putting it back together isn\u2019t bad, I know some people have condensation issues but I\u2019ve never had any issues with that, plus from the factory there are already drain holes/air holes in the housing anyways.

Pros: drain holes from factory
Cons: painful process, difficult glue

I had a FiST '14 in the past and the headlights were like two candles. I am in Europe, so I had Euro headlights. I've tried both reflector and projector headlights, without big difference. I've also replaced the bulbs with different options that helped but too less. Unfortunately the headlights on the Fiestas are really bad comparing with other vehicles.

Cons: poor light output, really bad
Vehicle: Ford Fiesta

I’ve been dealing with the same issue for months. Got into a minor fender bender that led to the driver’s side headlight being replaced. The first had damage to the high beam, the second arrived with a scratch across the lens, number 3 filled with condensation that turned into huge water droplets within a day, and number 4 is doing the same. All OEM headlights directly through VW.

Cons: damage to high beam, scratch across lens, filled with condensation
