I'm in Germany at the moment and have seen quite a few Tiguans around, mainly lower spec models, but a few equivalent highlines as well. An interesting observation - on the lower spec models with the halogen lights - the headlight enclosures are different to what we have in Australia; the main difference being two small LED DRLs, presumably where the actual bulbs are mounted (difficult to accurately see at about 170km/h on the autobahn). I've googled.to try and find some pictures, with this image from India being the only one I could find.

There's also a blue that they have here that is quite a bit darker than what we have and it looks really nice.

You're right. And the two small LED DRLs make the low spec models look much better.

Yep, a lot better IMO. Pity it isn't on the MY18 update list.

A real tight arse effort by VW Australia not including LEDs when all its competitors have them.
I have the 132 version and I'm still irritable that they don't include LEDS.
If I could I purchase these Light housings right now I would.

It's called Atlantic Blue, and it looks way different depending on sun/light. Below pictures of my Tiguan with Offroad set.

btw. we have three kind of headlights depending on basic model and extra options.
- basic headlights (with bulbs)
- LED Basic - led with reflector
- LED Top (sometimes called High) - led with lens, dynamic corner lights, Dynamic Light Assist, ...
On AU VW website I see only bulb headlights and probably LED Top

I haven't seen any in Germany with the basic headlights, they probably exist though.

I tried to find specs in configurator on website. But can't see basic headlights for Trendline now, it has Basic LED. But on e-mail I have differences between models described by my dealer (Poland) from first weeks of EU sale open and she wrote as I mention above.

Here in NZ the Comfortline gets the budget Halogen lights and the Highline models get the basic LED lights:

Only the R-Line model here gets the full Dynamic LED Lights which is yet another reason why I didn't consider anything less than the R-Line.

And they have the option of the Victoria Falls wheels too which I would like very much but would expect to be set back at least $2.5K.

Hey Bestyjny,
Where do you live in Poland ? I was born in Staszow but my family moved to Australia when I was a kid.
I understand Polish but my spelling is atrocious so Ill spare you the mistakes I would have made.
