    Hey guys just got my new B8 (new to me) it's a 2017, silver R line with the upgraded 19's
    Love the car will throw some pics up later

    Couple little things bugging me and don't know if anyone can help with it

    Firstly.. weird one
    On my heater controls on the screen, the rear heaters have got a padlock on them and I can't alter them
    And even if I have the blowers on full blast they don't seem to be kicking anything out

    My best mate has got the Golf R (dad life made me get the estate)
    His interior lights along his door card are blue and I think it looks amazing and tacky
    But it's nice, does anyone know if mine could be coded to have the rgb feature? Every light in the car is white

    Lastly and this one really hurts
    Never been so disappointed in a car after looking around the whole thing and it's fully loaded with pan roofs and self park etc to find out it's got halogen bulbs in the headlights ???

    There's a lot of fancy looking leds these days on eBay etc but for the life of me I can't find what type of bulbs they are, so to save me pulling them out and cross referencing does anyone know?
    Also the fogs, looks like there's two bulbs in the fogs for some reason I presume one is a drl

    Thanks guys

    Most, if not all, bulb sites you put the reg in and then tell it halogen or Xenon and it tells you all the bulbs fitted.

    Yeah it sucks but I'm looking at stuff like this..

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F253273863267

    Which I had in my last car, they are pretty cool and are bright as hell

    Just I'm getting conflicting things on websites for which bulbs I need and for a start the fogs have two bulbs in them and the websites only say it's a h15 or whatever so I think I'm gonna have to start pulling some out

    I even had VW quote me for new headlight units haha the guy actually said.. just get used to halogens and go to New York with the family instead haha

    I'm with you on the headlights. Annoyingly the 2018 was updated to come with LED headlights as standard.

    You should be able to press menu on the heating menu and unlock the rear temperature controls. Might have to be on auto to access that feature?

    As for the door card lights mine are white which I quite like. I think it'll be different strips for the RGB so not an easy fix.

    Otherwise enjoy the car. They're fantastic machines.
