I do not know how to send a picture of it.. But we got the same passat as you have! I´m living in the netherlands... It´s a great car!! we got the same options as yours.

Can you please tell me how did you get the fog lights to work with DRL LEDs at full intensity. In india we have the same passat but I have four options for outside lights:
1. only DRL LEDs at full intensity
2. automatic - which during day is option 1 and during night brings the main HIDs on and dims DRL LEDs. Fog lights are off, only turning lights which come on for a few seconds at turns.
3. parking lights - front DRL LEDs on but their intensity is reduced with rear red lights on. the rest remain off
4. Option 2 (day) with fog lights
I would like the intensity of LED DRLs to remain at full in option 2,3,4. Can you please help.
Thanks in advance mate.![]()

Is it "tint" or "gunsmoke" ?

This is a beautiful car! Especially love the headlights. I doubt VW will develop a wagon off the N. American Passat platform. Wagons just don't sell in enough volume here. I do think an alternative is to import the European model, however, to extend the Passat lineup.
Here's what I suggest. Bring over the wagon in Alltrack trim (to tempt more SUV and CUV buyers). Offer it with just one setup - 2.0L TDI, 4-Motion, DSG. Price it around $32K. Start ringing the cash register!

Sigh... So beautiful...
That (the sportwagen) is the car I would have bought if it were available in the US...

Yes here in Sweden it´s called B7 also. I had H&R on my Passat but it was too low in the rear.
Didn´t like it at all and I think I´m going have Eibach instead.
#127
Hello Peppes,
I want to put some H&R like you... but don't want either a rear lower than front .. (it is a little like this yet .. see the pic)
Can you send some pics with H&R ??
Do you relly recommend Eibach instead ? Does it will fix the problem ?
Thanks in advance !!
Best regards
Mathieu

Looks amazing dude! How do you like the coils? Are they giving you any backache? Is the car scraping on the road/driveways?
Question about lights- so both your headlights and fog lights are "adaptive" and xenon/hid... So this means that your fog lights move/rotate the same way your headlights move and shine in the direction that you turn the steering wheel driving around a curve in the road?
(Trying to comprehend how incredibly awesome this is)
Second question- now that you're low on coilovers, do your lights not point correctly? and you had to have the dealership hook up to the car to make the lights level with the new ride height?
Super car man, congrats![]()
#130
Thanks man!
i like them very much, no scraping and perfectly "stiff"
no, i have converted the foglights into hid, so they are not adaptive, but i have "turn lights" in the same housing, if you see, there are two bulbs in each foglight![]()
(hope you understand what i mean)
i think the lights are ok, they adjust them self, but im going to the dealership to check them on tuesday![]()
#131
Next plan is to get the roof black with vinyl, and the lamps black with Lamin-x![]()
#132
PassatB7 you have a great looking car!
A few questions:
How well do your automatic headlights work? Do they come on only when very dark or can they come on when it is overcast?
Do you have sleep detection system option? (aka Driver fatigue detection or Driver Alert System?)
Do you have a VCDS scan of your car?

Great pictures.
A friend of mine has a B7 Passat but he finds himself in situations where the auto light doesn't always come on as it thinks the place isn't dark enough for some reason so his instrument gauge goes dark till the auto lights start up. Ever experienced this?

She's a beaut! Jealous of all the LEDs you guys get over there! I sure hope VWoA recognizes that we here in the states with the NMS B7 would LOVE to have them. Somebody definitely wasn't thinking.
I'm curious about the Lamin-X you put on the headlights. Which cover is it, tint, gun smoke or smoke?
#137
I hate wagons but this is a good looking car. The interior and the faetures are awesome is this the top of the line. Can you get more features in the euro Passat.
