Re: Rounded tailpipe contemplation
If you have an exhaust place local to you maybe they could cut and weld, would look a lot better

Re: Retrofit lights
They should be a straight fit and cause no issues, tbh I'm not bothering to change my lights, I've fitted some upgrade bulbs, but it's good that some more stuff is coming out for the b8, there is also upgrade rear lights now that look like the gt spec ones

If you bought the car from a dealer maybe try and get some goodwill and have it replaced

Re: Led headlight upgrade
You can get second hand headlights on ebay for just a few hindres usually with scratches. So if your lenses are better you could swap lenses (rather deal with an angry bum grape). But then theres ballasts to consider and possible coding. I had equal amount of no you dont's and yes you have to. As f...

Re: Led headlight upgrade
It's possible to get the full led headlights but looking about about £3000 if I remember rightly. I did once ask a VW retrofit company. Anyway did my drl this morning. Massive difference. Picture for comparison. I like that they go off with the main beam so I don't need to colour match everything. ...

As above just pulls off, just remember to run the cable behind the airbag, it took me a couple of attempts but its easy once you have done it once.

Led headlight upgrade
I'm sorry if this has been covered before, I have done quite a bit of searching but couldn't quite get the info I wanted, I have the halogen setup and may be able to get my hands on xenon or led, are these plug and play with some coding or are the plugs etc different? Thanks in advance Sent from my ...

Re: Just ordered my 1.4 150 SE Business DSG Estate
I noticed new style rear led lights, the analogue clock has has been replaced with a digital one and a fresh set of alloys, there was probably more but I did watch it at 2am this morning so maybe didn't take as much notice as I should have

Re: New car for first time driver
Sometimes it's worth looking at cars you may not necessarily consider, my mates sister has just passed her test and she is driving an old 1.8 volvo, it was far cheaper than any of the obvious choices with small engines

Re: Newbie help.......bulb change.....struggling
Hi I have a 2017 Passat and just bought a couple of Osram laser night breaker H7 bulbs. I thought the current bulbs were awful and give poor visibility,so hope these are better. Dipped beam . The problem is I cannot change them! I’ve taken the hatch off under the wheel arch,pulled the wiring plug o...

Re: Wiring in dash cam
I have a 2017 Passat estate Rline It says in my hand book that the fuse box is behind the glove box and you need to push the side strut back to drop it down. Can't see how to do this tho? Also how did you get the cables down the windscreen side pillar? Can this be pee'd off some how? Also has anyon...

Good guide there, I have just done the same in my b8, I hardwired mine and if memory serves me correct I used fuse 40 behind the glove box, look forward to see what you do regarding the halogen light upgrade
