The Passat W8 is only fitted with the bi-xenon
headlight system. The improved light output of
the system increases active driving safety as the
driver can detect danger earlier.
The bi-xenon headlight module produces the
dipped beam and the main beam from a single
gas discharge lamp.
The main beam is intensified by a H7 lamp. This
lamp also bridges the time until the gas
discharge lamp reaches its full light intensity. The
H7 lamp is also used for the headlight flasher
function.
The gas discharge headlight (GDH) with bi-xenon light
When driving in LHD countries, the two headlights can
be changed over from asymmetric to symmetric dipped beam.
Please refer to the information in the Workshop Manual.
Due to the gas discharge headlights, all bi-xenon
cars are equipped with automatic and dynamic
headlight range control (refer to SSP 251).
