Passat cc (New Shape) 2012 Led U shape headlight assembly

[Ryan O'Shea]

Hi Guys, I have a cc new shape and it does not have the U shaped Leds in the headlight like I have seen in many others i am just wondering if anyone knows the reason why it doesn't and if it could be retrofitted, the car has a gt interior with Dsg gearbox so I Imagine it does not have anything to do with spec,
would appreciate any ideas

Thanks,
Ryan

Welcome - as far as I know, the U shaped DRL is on the LED matrix headlights only.
They can be retrofitted, but for that I'd approach a company that specializes in retrofits.

Matrix headlights, excuse me, but what are they exactly, mine are Hid projector headlights

HID - high Intensity Discharge - uses xenon gas-discharge bulb to create light. LED matrix headlights use a grid of LEDs to produce light.
