Headlights TYC or OEM Volkswagen

Having had GTIs with both halogens and LEDs and now the GLI, I find them very good.

That's interesting. I have a '21 S and I'm very satisfied with the headlights, they are not as quite as good as the Passat's but they are way better than my wife's Ford. Mine seem perfectly aimed, maybe yours are off a bit?

Ours are great, no complaints.

I will also say the headlights on the Arteon are primo. This past week I had to drive 100 miles each way out to one of our manufacturing facilities in a super rural area far from any highway where it was as dark as dark could be, no lights of any kind anywhere out there, and the headlights (both low and high beam) were fantastic

The overall performance of the Arteon's headlights are superior to probably most headlights on other cars. Even more so once you've coded it for the European dynamic lighting. Those are simply amazing.

For anyone looking to do a headlight swap on a first gen these are the (TYC) lights I purchased:

i constantly have other drivers flash me while i drive at night. i do believe these headlights produce a lot of glare.

So it looks like VW has stripped away a lot from their 2017 models, mainly the Beetle and Jetta. The GLI is down to one trim and no options again. They even removed the Bi-Xenon headlights.

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.
