I recently replaced the headlight bulbs in my 2001 1.8T and found that the lighting quality has actually gotten worse. The beam pattern is linear on the top, but the area illuminated is shadowy. I have spent hours for the past three nights trying to adjust it with the two screws, but the clarity is still awful. Is it possible that the actual bulb position in the housing is to blame, or the projectors out of focus...Need help fast. Driving at night is impossible.

Used Silverstar H7 ST bulbs

I'm encountering the same dilemma and think no matter how many times we change the bulb it isn't going to help. This could be a flaw from the design and manufacturing stage.

I think you may be right

go hid. you'll never go back.

Seems pretty expensive...$600?! How long do the bulbs last and what would you guys recommend?

My OEM bulbs are still ok after 5.5 years. One of the mandatory options, IMHO, nowadays.

Hillbilly

1. yes, it is expensive
2. yes, it is worth it.
3. the bulbs last next to a lifetime
4. personally, (i know im gonna get **** about this)I would recommend LLtek's 6000k H.I.D. kit.
A)It's bright as fvck
B)It's plug and play, my 15 year old sister could install the thing.
C)It actually comes with *everything* you need to install it(sans zip ties of course).
D) It's not $600<ul><li><a href="http://www.lltek.com/about_HID.htm">http://www.lltek.com/about_HID.htm</a</li></ul>

I think the light color sucks.

Everything else looks wrong now.
