Hey everyone,
So here what is going on, I am at a loss for what todo for my 2006 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. I am wanting to upgrade the stock Halogen headlights to a brighter LED headlight. But my main issues are that it would trigger the B.O.I light on my dash and I do not wish to modify my stock headlight assemblies. From what i gathered online the information is extremely limited, and i know how picky the canbus system is on the VW. All I know up to this point is I can possibly use the H7 Mini LED bulb style that mimics the stock style bulb, but that problem lies with triggering the BOI light on my dash, which i don't want to see and keep working for when a non LED bulb fails in my vehicle.
I've gone thru a few brands online and they all promise around a 98% Guarantee to work with most canbus systems but say "May also require a canbus decoder adapter or resister." and generally specify BMW, VW, etc. And there lies a second issue of potentially having to modify the stock headlight assembly which I absolutely DO NOT want to-do. So I am up for any suggestions and advise people have and what not. Worst case scenario, i can always upgrade to the SYLVANIA ZXE bulbs or something you guys recommend, so i can actually see better at night.
Main Requirements:
Cannot modify Stock Headlight assemblies
Does not trigger BOI Light
(Legend: BOI = Bulb Out Indicator )
