Outside Temperature Display Is Dim - Brightness Adjustment?
Any way to increase the brightness of the outside temperature display? During the day, when the sun is shinning, it's impossible to read....even if I take my sunglasses off.
It's almost distracting as texting having to stare at the display trying to read the numbers.
The drivers side set temperature display (heat/a-c) is super bright but yet the rest is very difficult to see.
I have 20/20 vision.
I tried the dash brightness adjustment (odometer reset) but that has no effect.

View 13 RepliesFord Excursion :: No Rear Running Lights Or Dashboard Lighting
I have a 2001 7,3 TDI. Yesterday I rented a trailer and when I connected the cable from the trailer to my car, the rear running lights and the dashboard lighting died. I have checked all the fuses. I read that the dash lights go out when the rear running lights go, but I cant find out what fuse or relay to change. I have checked the fuses in the car and in the engine room, but I cant find a broken one. What to do ?
View 2 RepliesCamry 2012+ :: SE - Interior Lighting Swap From Yellow Tone To White Lighting LED Bulbs
Swap out the LED dome lights in a 2012 Camry SE? I'm considering switching the bulbs out from the yellow tone stock lighting to the white lighting LED bulbs. I am also considering floor lighting that can be activated with the dome light switch and/or with the doors opening. The issue I'm having is that I would like them to be hooked up to the same switch that the stock lights are set up with. (So I can use the dimmer switch for lighting). Where I would be able to tap into the wiring for this? Is there a DIY thread somewhere?

I would like to be able to have my cluster lighting always on, even if the lights are off. US MKVII Gti.. (DRL already turned off via vagcom)
On bright sunny days if i have my lights off, and partially because i have 85% tint, the cabin itself can be dark, and therefore it would be nice if i was actually able to see my dials, and not have to have the lights on.
Golf/GTI VII :: Lighting Package Low Beam Usefulness
I am finding the sharp cutoff at the top of the LP low beam leaves less road lit than with a standard halogen, causing me to need the highs more often. Or maybe the xenon needs to be adjusted up?
View 8 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Footwell Lighting On Driver Side Never Lit Up
Last month I picked up my MKVII AutoBahn with Lighting Package. It was kind of an emergency buy, but a long time coming.
I haven't had much time to check every nook and cranny, but I did make do the important checks (Shipping Pucks, I'm looking at you).
Either way, since I received the car the Footwell Lighting on the driver side has never lit up, I assumed that it was the same case on the passenger side, and that the option was just off.
When my wife was getting out of the car 2 days ago I noticed that it was in fact lighting on the passenger side, but not the driver side.
So, after speaking with the service department at the dealership, it seems almost impossible to get the car there for scheduling reasons.
Is there anything I can do on my own to troubleshoot? I'm not very handy, but always willing to try.
Golf VI R :: Adaptive Front-lighting System Failure
As in the title, mine went this weekend. Searching shows other VW models have had issues with wiring connectors leading to AFS failure. Is this still a problem for VW (many of the threads on Vortex about this go back 5 years or so), and specifically the Golf R?

I replaced some TYC OEM headlights on my car with stock OEM Hella headlights and cleaned up the lenses really nice.
Once installed, I went to adjust the headlights to find out that the passenger outer adjustment just spins.

I am not too sure if I can fix this. The little wheel doesn't seem like it can be removed and it has some back and forth play on it.

Golf/GTI VI :: H&R Sports Installed / Headlights Adjustment?
Seems like my headlights are pointed too much down now. Is that a common issue? I have Xenons btw. Is this something easy for me to do or should I take it to the dealer?
View 22 RepliesTouareg :: HID Has Lack Of Brightness
My first experience with Xenons was on my BMW 330xi which was a 2000 model year. (Maybe 2001, I can't even remember now.) The Egg's Xenon's seem quite similar in both brightness and coverage, as well as the sharp cutoff that they are famous (or infamous) for. So, thought I, HIDs (xenons) are HIDs, are HIDs. Wrong-o.
I was recently driving behind a Porsche Carrera at dusk. We both had our lights on. His lit the road awash in white. Mine were barely visible on the road. As I said, it wasn't dark out yet.
A friend of mine just purchased the RX330 (butt ugly from the rear). He complained to me about, among other things, the xenons having an incredibly sharp cut off. He's never had HIDs before. We switched cars for a short, few mile drive. While I saw what he was talking about, in that when the car was pointing downhill even a slight bit, the levelers had the lights facing so far downward that they barely lit up 20 feet in front of the car. I felt mine was slightly better. However, his side to side coverage was far superior, and the brightness of his lights were far superior, being much whiter also.
Golf V R32 :: Hatch Bumpers Adjustment To Eliminate Rattles
The hatch rattle has been driving me nuts. I'd heard that the bumpers on either side of the hatch could be adjusted to fix this problem. I couldn't find a good howto on this, so I snapped a few pics.
Basically, if you adjust these bumpers so that they apply slight tension on the hatch when closed, it appears to stop the rattles that happen over low speed bumps. It's been a couple days, some pretty bumpy roads, and no rattles since the weekend. [IMG] [URL] ......
Tools Required
- One 3mm hex driver
- Two hands (one would probably do)
1) Open the rear hatch and note the bumpers on either side:
2) Note the 3mm socket in the center of each bumper, deep inside:
3) Insert 3mm hex driver into the socket, loosen (but do not remove) the screw:
4) Wiggle the bumper out -- I moved mine out about 0.5" or so. Retighten screw.
5) Close the hatch to test fit. The rubber bumper should be SLIGHTLY compressed against the stopper, but not mashed up against it:
6) Go take a drive. Tell the wife/husband/other that you need to test for rattles. Spend a few hours driving fast, just to be super sure.
