More so talking about switching out the factory projector for a aftermarket one? I got a 2020 SE and even though the lighting isnt bad I know it could be a lot better. Just curious if anyone has modified their lights?

I have replaced my D3S HID for a 6000k LED D3S bulb and it is a vast improvement, road signs and white lines are much brighter, not that the original Xenon's were bad but they are the original 2014 ones so thought I would change them.

I did the same. This route is the easiest way to get better lighting with no fuss. Other options are :
1. Get Osram Led driving headlights. Expsnive and coding needed for AFS equipped cars.
2. Replace/Upgrade Projector. Headlight must be opended and sealed correctly (Not a trivial task). Your should also replace your headlight lens cover as well.
3. Use Aftermarket /China 7.5 headlights. A positive experience is not guaranteed.

Do you by chance know what company makes the OEM vw headlights? Or at least the projectors?
