City Light Bulbs.

[Gino936]

Help needed here. I read the whole thread but I'm not sure which bulb to buy as there were a few recommendations.

I want the bulbs to perfectly match the OEM HID headlights. I already bought $1 leds bulbs on ebay to test my coding. They works fine in the citylights and do not throw codes but the color is slightly blue when I want OEM white.

Which bulb do I need?


Citylights:

PIAA Xtreme White 194/168 fpr citylights(Match but OEM citylight bulbs are brighter?)

I have these in cool white for my city lights. I have xenon and they match very well.

I changed my Byte 27 bit 2 using VAG-COM and it worked, I tried this 1.5 Watt and this 5 SMD neither threw a code. I ended up using the 5 SMD one because the light was brighter and more even.

THANK YOU!!! This fixed my Light Out error with my LEDs installed. I don't know how many times I have seen that option, but assumed it was for LED + HID package.

Here is a before and after.

Not sure what the difference are between these and the Osram one. Had them in for over a month and they work fine. No errors.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but how do these fit? I just received mine and it doesn't seem like they fit unless you force them in.

Rotate them around and try to force them in.

I tried to do that, but I feel like if I try to push them in any harder it's going to break something.

DO NOT force them in. If they don't go in without resistance, you will never get them out. Well, not without takig your headlights completely apart.

Mine went in with minimal resistance, and I almost didn't get them out when I tried another set that were supposed to be error free. When I tried to remove them, the stayed in the hole when I pulled the socket out of the hole. Fortunately they didn't fall in, and I was able to grab them with small needle nose pliers.

If they won't go in without resistance, return them.
