Headlights on this car are probably one of the better ones.
Owner reviews for headlights
Yeah, I've been super happy with the headlights on the 7.5's too. The turn tracking and uphill/downhill movement is nice too.
I apologize for being so excited and impressed, but I never had a car with the feature of automatic high-beams. I experienced it just now for the first time coming home from dinner with my wife on our weekly Date Night. It's Awesome!!! I love it!!! The automatic high-beams were amazing!!! Honestly, it's also a bit of an easter Egg for me with my \"new\" 2019 Golf R. The 2019 Golf R also has very good headlight high-beams! My 2010 Golf TDI has great Xenon high-beams too, but the LEDs in the 2019 Golf R are even better!
I replaced both of mine with new factory units. They have held up, going on 8 yrs and still look new.
I replaced my worn out cloudy/mildewed headlight bodies on my 2006 CVPI with these TYC replacement OEM-look headlights from Rock Auto. So far, they've worked really well for the 4 months I've had them installed. No leaks/condensation or short circuits/failures. They were really useful on long drives (4-6 hours) at night or early morning where there aren't any streetlights for long stretches on the highway. The only complaint I have is the "high beams" just seem like a change in point of aim (higher), rather than increased illumination.
If we're talking headlights, oem 1000%. Morimotos are good too (output and spread) but they have qc issues. Avoid Alpharex like the plague. They have terrible beam patterns.
They’re sequential & do a start up dance. Not bad for $400!
I got a pair of DEPO OEM-style lights which look and fit the same and have the leveling motors. I notice that some light shines out the side of the assembly. I can see the HID capsule, located between a parabolic mirror and the projector lens, by looking through the side of the headlight at a specific angle. The light leakage through the same path illuminates a vertical strip of bushes and trees off each of the car. The beam pattern seems a bit different with these, more of a step-up versus what I thought was a straight horizontal cut-off previously. Otherwise the fit and finish seem fine on the DEPO lamps.
I’ve been dealing with the same issue for months. Got into a minor fender bender that led to the driver’s side headlight being replaced. The first had damage to the high beam, the second arrived with a scratch across the lens, number 3 filled with condensation that turned into huge water droplets within a day, and number 4 is doing the same. All OEM headlights directly through VW.
You throw em in the trash. Cuz no e36 deserves cheap headlights
