    Nice job Kamold! This mod made a huge difference, the original lights seem pretty weak in comparison.

    i think you need to show their performance in a real life situation (city enviroment and low light, road trip, rural) to really get the point across how much of a visual upgrade this is!

    It's always hard to see in a few pics.
    You're right in practice the effect is really fantastic.
    I don't have a GoPro or similar otherwise I'd try and take a video.

    Nice job, but a lot of work for mere mortals. Did you consider a plug and play replacement with an LED aftermarket set of headlamps from our Ali friends like these?

    Led has less light output than hid.
    Also B7 headlight assemblies don't fit b6

    I reckon the bixenon lights in my Skoda were way better than the LED's that the Tiguan has. I did upgrade the inners to 125W globes though. I would not buy non-genuine lights if you gave me the money to do it with.

    Also the upgrade wasn't that hard.
    I've never done headlights before.

    Well those headlights aren't "made in Spain" any longer that is for sure.
    It does appear to be more crisp and sharper beams. Its still the phillips extreme vision??

    Yes the globes didn't change, just the projectors.

    FINALLY got around to doing the job again with my original headlights.
    This time baked and removed the front lenses, then replaced with brand new ones.
