The halogen headlights are not good at all. The visibility on low beam is poor and I almost have to rely on high beam. I am planning to upgrade but would like to know what others recommend.
My 2024 does this when the weather fluctuates, it clears up after a bit once the weather stabilizes or the mid morning sun hits it. I was also told it's normal to an extent, fog or light condensation will clear up. Was told to let them know if it looks like water is running down inside, streaking, doesn't clear up, puddles, or if the whole thing fogs up, then the overall seal has failed or is faulty.
The default setting for the headlights were adjusted as high as they went. Annoyingly you couldn't change it whilst driving, you had to root around in the infotainment.
I'm night blind and my 2025 BE headlights are fantastic. I'm not sure if I'm half retarded, but it almost seems like the Matrix is activated from the factory. My menu has "dynamic lights" able to be activated, and they work great.
2021 Atlas $1500 for headlight replacement
VW OEM parts are expensive as fuck, VW Dealers wont give you the part number so you can source it cheaper either, they're called stealerships for a reason, partners VW Beetle was $1500 for 1 headlight.
We had this on our 2021. VW replaced under warranty but not before making sure we didn’t touch the headlights to cause it ourselves
My dad has had the OE European (glass) headlights on his Mk4 Golf since 2002. They still look great all these years later, despite 300,000+ miles on them. The European beam pattern is so much better than the U.S. one, too.
I had them in my Mk4 Golf Tdi. E-Codes from Vw they were a lot brighter.
