Just took delivery of my 155 R-Line

[SciroccoJ]

Just picked up my 155 R-Line today!

A little bit about myself, just traded in my scirocco, been in the performance car scene for the last 10 years.. jumping from rexy to 350z to sti to mx5 and then the scirocco. the tiguan will probably be the tallest car I ever owned.... good thing is dont need to worry about speed hump anymore!

Here is the little black tiger!

[SciroccoJ]

And have done the first mod............................. not really... just change of light globes...
I just don't understand why VW Australia does not provide bixenon as standard in this so called flagship model.... and could not even order that as an option.

Dropped in some Phillips Crystal Vision H7 and Konik H15 DRL (with high beam), also some led parker light.

The led parker compares to oem globe


Phillips Crystal Vision compares to oem




Now let see how many weeks I could stand this until a bixenon conversion............

[tigger73]

Nice work! Bulb upgrade is definitely a good result. Agree that it's an oversight by VWA not to at least give people the option box to tick for bi-xenons. It's a head scratching decision as they're fitting them as standard to the Passat.

Thanks Tigger73!

Anyone that changed to LED number plate without have error? I have 2 set of "error free" led but they both failed...

is that a tiguan problem?

[team_v]

I changed my number plate lights and got no error, they weren't even error free ones......
Might just be a newer canbus in the 2014's that is more sensitive.

For some reason the Tiguans are a little more sensitive than a lot of other models.

I put in R-dash ones in my 125TSI and didn't have any issues with bulb out warnings.

I know other people tried and failed with some of the cheaper supposedly error-free options.

[SciroccoJ]

The assembly look a bit different to the images I got online....

Do your one look the same as below?

[SciroccoJ]

And I have a noob question ... What other light will give light out error? does that includes front parker light and interior lights?

The funny thing is... I put the set of number plate led light in to my parker light... and it worked with out throwing error............

[team_v]

Front parker lights throw errors for me.
I have all the interior dome light and the rear licence plate lights and had no issues.

The license lights do look different to my tiguan's. Mine use 2 screws to put on the car. I use Rdash with their resistor and has been fine for 2 years now.

Hi Nat225, what year model do you have? N1 or N2? The one I saw online do look like what you described with 2 screws to hold it in place.. my one is clip in.

[Bambazonke]

I have replaced all the Tiguan interior lights with LED's with no error code issues. License plate LED error's can be coded out using VCDS
SciroccoJ I have not forgotten your PM and will send a few links. Busy scouting around for the parts

Thanks Bambazonke! No rush!

speaking of devil... one of the parker flow a code at me last night!
But this is a bit strange... it comes up with a "Check front left side light" message and light up the globe error light for a brief 5 sec and then it went away (both of the message and light) after I start the car.....

scratching my head now..........

Hi nat225... um... I think the canbus and bcm module are different with the post facelift and they change it again in 2014 as well.
