:1zhelp: Can anyone help?

I have just purchased a new 140TDI Passat Sport DSG. Everything is going well, but we live in the country with dark roads.

My wife has aked if we can swop the halogen headlight bulbs for xenons bulbs (55w H7 Philips)-just the bulbs - not the lamp units.

The VW dealer said it would invalidate the warranty. I find this surprising, as they are electrically the same as the originals.

The units are surrounded by engine components. Does anyone know the correct bits to remove to access the units without damaging the vehicle?

Many thanks.

Hey Jasper,

Did you ever find the instruction on how to properly replace the lowbeam bulb? I'm out of warranty and really don't want to pay the $100 plus to have some do it for me. Thanks.
