Hi.
Shouldn't the turning light (Xenon on the Passat 3C) be symmetrical?
So that the brightness of the left lamp is the same as that of the right lamp?
The right one shines very dimly onto the floor, while the left one shines much further and brighter.
My first thought was "the H7 bulb might be installed incorrectly," but from the outside, it seems to be properly seated.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

... there was another T.
I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Okay, I was just at the  .
Tonight, I will test his theory.
The right headlight was adjusted too low. The xenon headlights adjusted themselves properly, so it wasn't noticeable there... but it was noticeable with the turning light.
Just now, the workshop looked much better "after" the work was done.
Greetings.

It actually sounds very logical.
Tell us a little bit about the new developments; I'm sure some people will be interested!

Hi.
I could tell you quite a lot, but I don't want to deliver my entire autobiography here.
If someone would like to know something, they are welcome to ask. It's possible that a car dealership might not have the Xenon headlights for the 3C model in stock, but a forum member might want to know if the Xenon headlights are worth it for the 3C and whether the cost is justified.
"In that case, I'd be happy to provide more detailed answers than just a simple 'Yes, definitely'."

Here's my response:
cobalt blue, latte macchiato, chrome railing, chrome window trim, Climatronic air conditioning, xenon headlights, RCD500 MP3 VW sound system, multimedia input, auto-hold function, business package, Monte Carlo sport package, winter tires, Highline grill. Transparency, Teamwork
