Car: 2004 V8 Touareg with OEM Xenon
Light output is dismal, as many have noticed in other threads. HID bulbs age with time. I have experience this first hand in another platform where the output was so bad passengers didnt even know when the lights were on haha
So with LED bulbs hitting the market with advertised better and better light output, now even exceeding the lumens of HID bulbs, has anyone taken the plunge and installed a set? Trying to decide before I drop in a new set of OEM bulbs if it might be worth it or an upgrade to use new CREE or LED bulbs.
If so, pics? Thoughts? Fitment issues (many LED bulbs have large bulky heatsinks), heat issues? Adjustable motor issues?
My night vision is poor as it is, so anything can help. If there was a lightbar that wouldnt blind oncoming traffic, it would already be installed haha
