Curing LED Turn Signal Conversion Problems
This apparently cures automotive manufacturer's morphidite flasher tantrums that go into Charles Manson mode when a person converts from incandescent to LED turn signals. http://ledguy.net/store/in...

I installed HID's in my 2012 passat TDI SE. The cutoff with HID's in the lamp is quite sharp, low and defined.
The 2013 Touareg TDI that I bought, came with Projector self aiming HID's. Every time you turn them on, they sense amount of light coming back to the driver, over various areas in front of the car, and re aim. Replacement headlights, should someone back into me and destroy them, are about $1300 a pop, each.
Really, HID's help with night vision, help with seeing wildlife so you can avoid road kill, and if aimed properly, and designed properly, should be a non issue to on coming traffic. Downside is that they are not $10 for 2 bulbs for the headlights at Walmart. A new HID bulb and ballast are required each time you lose a bulb. HID's are rated at about 1000-1200 hours. They are 3x as bright and 35 watts vs 55 watts. I prefer daylight 4300k temperature factory bulbs.
As for the rear tail lights, I will run what she came with. No LED's for me thanks.
I really don't enjoy driving at night anymore, and will do my damndest to drive during daylight hours. Less wear and tear on the whole electrical system.
