Volkswagen Amarok 2013: Replacing lacklustre headlights?

You might recall my concerns about the headlights on my VW Amarok. Well, I can confirm that VW NZ has replaced the headlights on at least two vehicles with the later Variant 2 system under warranty and there is a push to have VWA follow suit. I would urge anyone with the same concerns to e-mail Jane Jones of VWA to ask for the same switch to be made on their cars. At your suggestion I have also contacted an automotive engineer who quoted an indicative price to carry out photometric testing of the headlights in the order of $1300. I declined, as for that amount I could have bull bar and driving lights fitted. Anyhow, I will keep you updated on the outcome when it happens, and once again thanks for the assistance.

The best course of action is to try and create a groundswell of feedback to VW as you are doing. That way the message might get through.
