Passat (B6) :: 2012 - Installing HIDs - Removing Headlights?
Mar 11, 2011
My DDM HIDs came in the mail today and fellow vortexer D.Passat00 was kind enough to meet up with me and do the needed vag-com adjustments. So firstly a shout out to him, he's a solid dude and really nice
Now: Is there a DIY for headlight removal? I can't seem to find one, and without removing the headlights I'm afraid there just isn't enough room to install the new HID bulbs without dinging/touching them.
I have a 2010 2.0t Passat and I got the 35w 6000k DDM HID kit

My sister said her headlights were dull. So when she came over it looks like both HID's are out?
Since I have only owned pre Mk5 cars I know NOTHING about HID's. So why would they BOTH go out?

In an attempt to install HIDs on my 2013 f150 screw 4x4 I hated them and I broke my truck. I blew a fuse for the left headlight which I replaced.
My battery now reads 11.9v, I have no dash or radio lights and my truck won't even attempt to start. I can't exit park either. My door locks inside the vehicle work but my remote is useless. My headlights and dome lights work but that's it light wise.
Is my battery just too low and needs to be "reset"? If not my battery does it sound like a main relay or the body control module or similar?

I have a F350 2000 crew cab srw with 7.3 diesel. I removed the HID that was installed by previous owner. The factory wiring harness was still intact but now I don't have running lights or dash lights. I still have head lights, brake lights and blinkers... I replaced the head light units with factory replacements......

I haven't been able to find a tutorial on how to remove the ECU on a 2012 Passat I tried to search but I didn't see anything there.

I have an 06 Prius that I got needing a transmission. I picked up a used transmission from the junkyard, and I started working on it today, but I am having a problem. The big orange cables that go from the inverter to the transaxle have been cut. So I need to swap over my good cables (from the bad transmission) over to the new transmission. I need to know how the cables are removed/installed from the transaxle side. They don't seem to want to pull out.

Has actually removed the block plug (from where ever it is) and installed a heating rod...I'm fairly mechanical, just not sure of the steps or tools needed.

I did some searching on here, but couldn't find much. I know, obviously, that adding an HID kit to a halogen housing will result in glare. So, I guess I am asking... how bad is it on a 2013 Camry? I know that the glare in some housings can be EXTREMELY bad, while some are tolerable.

HID's in your fog lights, any burn marks or anything of that sort. I have had HID's in my fogs for 7months or so and last week I stared noticing a burn mark on both fog lights. Now I do have film on the housing so I first thought that maybe it was the film burning up and not the fog lens. I'm asking because I can have my film replaced for free, I just have to send in some photos to prove it. But before I do that I wanted to make sure that it was the film that got burned 100% and not the fog light lens in case I needed that replaced also. I kinda don't want to take off the film just to see if its the lens or film.

2012 Passat SE VR6+DSG, 50K
So VR6 owners know that our girl, though she's got a fat ass, will absolutely move. I've been opening her up in Sport mode on Interstate stretches and have noticed every time I click over 100 the DRL's disengage and headlights automatically come on. Even if I turn the headlamp button completely off, then back to Auto, low beam headlights still stay on. Only after the car has been off again does it reset.

I am looking to install HID lights into my headlight. Successfully i have installed the regular hid into the headlamp for regular use lights. Now i have a question on the high beam which is together with the Drl. Do i have to get a bixenon kit for this socket to get the drl running and the high beam when selected? Or can i just install a regular lo/hi hid. And will it send low output for the drl and then when selected for the high beam it will function as it should?

I want to make a few changes to my Prius. I would like to change out the stock headlights for the OEM LED headlights and add the OEM foglights.
I have some part numbers for the foglights and would get them through the dealer. What about the LED headlights? Is there an improvement over the standard headlights? I have read about the "auto leveling" sensor that is mounted on the back bumper, is that something that can be done?

I installed an aftermarket HID's on my 06 B6 2.0T, used VAG-COM to disabled DRL's. They work great no issue, expect when I use my high beam.....both HID's go out and I get warning light/message on the dash. I can get them to come back on by turning the lights off and back on.

I am going to remove LED headlights & do a full HID retro.
Only problem is that the car has a system check & throws a flashing yellow triangle. How to trick the system?
There are 6 wires on the LED headlight harness.

I have a 2016 Prius C Persona. I'm thinking of removing the green trim on the sides and under the headlights. How difficult it is, or if there's a chance I'd damage the paint?

Car is a 2002 b5.5 1.8t sedan.
Bought the DDM Tuning HIDs, 3500k 35w for the fogs, installed with no problems. Also ordered the 5000k 35w for the low beams. Installed them, they flickered on for a second, then nothing. Let the ballasts charge for a while but still nothing. Called DDM, they said my car needs a error code eliminator kit thing later they were at my doorstep. Plugged one side in, flicked on then nothing. Thought both sides might need the code eliminators plugged in...wrong. both flickered on, and then nothing. Tried again, no flicker, both low beam fuses burned. Plugged the regular bulbs in, changed the fuses, lights working again.
I don't know much about electrical, but DDM said i def don't need a relay kit. Do I need a relay kit? Or would putting higher amperage fuses in the place of the original ones work? if so what amperage?

I installed some aftermarket HID lights in my 08 passat. I took it to a local shop to have the drls turned off and the bi xenon turned on. All the warnings and bulb out lights went off, the lights fire up perfect. but for some reason now the lights (all of them, rear, dash, parking all come on with the ignition whether or not the lights are switched on or off.
I am sure a code got changed that causes that, but which code would activate all lights all the time? It's not DRls it all lights are on just like you turned the lights on manually.

I don't like how they aren't in the middle of the slots of the front bumper. Where the chrome strips are. I wish they were in the middle of that, instead of towards the outside.
In this video the technician shows that there are holes that you need to drill. This allows you to fasten the DRLs to the bumper.. can I drill the holes in the middle? Would it look stupid up close?
