    If you're using LEDs without can bus or resistors its normal.

    I tried the Ziza...and I'm not impressed. When you look straight at them, yeah they look ok and have the color, but they are not intense on light. The stock light had brighter lights.

    More interested in not having an amber reflection in the headlights, but I wonder about those.

    I am going to change to all piaa lights but I don't want them to flicker so I saw on motorsports they have 3 different types of hid ballast but which one do I get? Do in I need 1 kit for every 2 bulbs? Do I only need kit on h7 lights and not 194 lights or 38 mm festooned? Do I get the kit with the can-bus??? Plz help

    You only need ballast (with CANBUS or use with cancellors) for your H7 and fogs (If you decide to use on fogs)

    Although I see now you are a GLI owner, apparently their electronics are more tricky and sensitive. So I'm not too sure on GLI's needs

    Anyone?

    And if you cannot tell, I am a complete noob with lighting... haha

    Got another question.

    Can I get LED H7(main headlight) bulbs?

    The stock ones I really want to replace and get ones that are "super white", but not too sure if they even make H7 LED's meant to replace them or not.

    the 1156 bulb is a BA15S base also.

    it could be a R5W or R10W, as they also use a BA15S base for the inner trunk light
    Just got these. Will i get an error??

    10-04-2012 12:54 PM #874
    Hey guys, I need your help. I am new to the forum. I have a 2012 Jetta TDI Premium that I have been installing LED lights on. After changing my DRLs to LED from VisionX 360 LED Non Canbus, and changing my headlight bulbs to Piaa Xtreme White bulbs, I noticed my headlight turn on automatically when I start the engine. Even if the headlight switch is off, the headlights along with the DRLs light up. The rear tail lights do not come on unless I turn on the headlight switch. Anyone experience the same problem? There is no light out indicator on the dash. I am guessing the LED lights is what is causing the problem since they are non canbus. I ordered a canbus LED last night so I will have to try that and see if it solves the problem. The visionX leds caused no problems for about a week. But then I noticed the headlights come on everytime I start the engine.

    Tag lights on plate

    All are non canbus. I am waiting for Canbus DRL LEDs to come in a few days.
