You could try Bosch Xenon replacement bulbs, they certainly made a
difference to my VR6, they throw more of a white light than the usual
yellow.

The headlight performance on my 99 Passat TDI is abysmal epically on main
beam. I would do better with a pair of candles tied to the bumper. So far
I
have tried Phillips Vision plus bulbs as suggested in another post but
with
no discernible difference and have also upgraded the fuses and fitted a
couple of 100 watt bulbs. Again no difference. The lenses are in perfect
condition, no scratches etc and the inside of the headlight units show no
sign of yellowing. A lot of my driving is done on North Donegal country
roads that have no road markings,signposts etc and I am really dreading my
first winter with this car. Is this normal for a Passat? Can anybody
suggest
anything?

Thanks

Jerry
