The Tiguan Project: Upgrading Halogen Headlights
The halogen headlights initially had very poor light output, even with the high-performance Osram Nightbreaker bulbs installed.
After disassembling the headlights and taking measurements, it became clear that the headlight housing could accommodate both a 3" and a 1.7" projector. At the time of the modification, I only had a pair of 2.5" and a 1.7" H1 projector set available.
Once the projectors were installed, I modified the wiring so that all H1 bulbs would illuminate on low beam, while the bi-projector flap would only activate with the high beam switch. After completing the build, the car was equipped with four H1 LED bulbs, and after a proper alignment, driving at night became a true pleasure.
