B7 Passat Visual and assistance package

[Riker]

OK, here is the link to the guy in Norway that has upgraded his fogs to LED, but also done some other things such as tinting the headlights etc on his B7 wagon.

KilometerMagazine.com - My Euro Vw passat B7 )

I thought I recalled him discussing how he put the new LED's in the fogs but that must be somehwere else..... Atleast you can see he has removed the fog light housing without removing the bumper.

Anyway, it is a link to a forum so there is plenty to look at & read.....

Hi Ricker

Clip has done it http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...ods-63701.html Page 2, promised to write up how if someone asked nicely

Amazing how a 1.6 diesel in Norway gets a colour MFD (or at least can be specced up to it)....

Thanks for that reminder mate.... Clips thread could have been what I was recalling...

looks like he installed a HID Xenon 6000k on the fog lights. I dunno
But if anyone can tell me what size bulbs are the foggies that would be great

one more question please..are the Bi-xenon in the B7 passat the 'Adaptive' types? what I mean is do they swivel when your cornering or turning? or is just the usual corner light that turns on when turning??thanks

[Riker]

You bet they are & yes they do swivel when cornering. The cornering lights also come on when cornering, they are down next to the fogs. When you turn the car on the Bi-xenons do a little dance moving outwards then inwards first then up & down before centering. A little party trick.........

No, the DRL's do not dim when the indicator is used. Why, well I guess one reason is that the front indicator lights are so damn bright that there is no need for the DRL's to dim.

Well the DRl's on mine are a lot brighter when the headlights are off and dim quite a bit when the lights come on.
As said they dont alter when indicating.

The headlights are self levelling so do the "little dance" to set to the level of the car.

It is illegal in Australia to fit HID lamps to fittings that do not normally have them.

Why would you want to fit them in " Fog lights" any way They would be the worst thing for what they are intended as a yellow light is far better in Fog Than a bluish one.

Commonly called WANKER LIGHTS in our area. Should be banned entirely.

It is an offence in QLD at least to actually have "fog" lights on when there is no fog. something like $125 worth if the cop thinks about it.

Why bother lighting up the area between your bumper and the headlight beam. Serves no useful purpose at all as far as I can see (no pun intended).

Refer wanker lights above
