Bi-xenon headlight upgrade to my Volkswagen Vento Highline

I’ve been interested in the OEM bi-xenons from a very long time, I never got them because the assemblies cost a bomb.

OEM Bi-xenon Headlights Upgrade

Every time I tell myself that this is the last upgrade, something new comes up. When I dropped my car at VW last time for a running repair, they wanted to enter my aftermarket lights into their records, I was able to talk them into letting it pass. I’ve been interested in the OEM bi-xenons from a very long time, I never got them because the assemblies cost a bomb. Recently, I was able to get my hands on a pair from my friend’s car.

There are 2 different installation processes and both are fairly well documented and covered on this forum by other BHPians. I’ve installed these without BCM Max and the associated wiring. The only caveats are that the cornering function works only on indicator and the leveller provided in the cabin doesn’t work anymore. All other features are fully working as designed.

I’ve never been as happier with any other permutation or combination of bulbs and assemblies I’ve tried earlier on this car. This is the best possible upgrade in terms of performance in the lighting department. I regret having tried the earlier combinations and wasting money on them. I love the even light spread, the almost nil warm up time and the cornering lamps usability and the cool looking DRL.

This picture is with the cornering lamps turned on.

The difference these cornering lamps make is well observed upon looking towards the gate on the right side in the picture.

The combinations I’ve tried before

• Stock reflector assemblies with stock halogen bulbs
• Stock reflector assemblies with LED bulbs
• Aftermarket dual projector eagle eye UU assemblies with LED bulbs
• Aftermarket dual projector eagle eye UU assemblies with 55w HID kits

On all my previous combinations, I felt the need to use fog lamps in city for visibility, along with the high beams occasionally. These lights are so good that even on the highways, just the low beams feel so much more better than all lights turned on in the previous combinations.
