Headlights Osram 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.

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.

The Osram headlights are better than “normal“ aftermarket ones, not as good as OEM Xenon, but still realy good. My buddy had for his MK6 aftermarket GTI Headlights, at night they were pretty bad, than he ordered the osram, and the difference is huge compared to the ****ty aftermarket crap.

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

OSRAM Headlights on an mk6 = <3

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.

I have driven my GTI S at night and never once thought to myself that I wished I had paid more money for a Sport GTI so I could have the Xenons. Nor have I once thought I need my headlights to turn for me as I turn a corner. I see just fine when cornering at night with my halogens.

The vanagon square lights are awful.
