General Information

This page applies to vehicles with factory installed Xenon headlights that do NOT use a diagnostic capable 55-Headlight Range control module. If the vehicle in question has a diagnostic capable 55-Headlight Range control module please use the applicable Ross-Tech Wiki Diagnostic Procedure page for that system.

  • Registered VCDS users encountering difficulty determining which type of factory installed Xenon headlight system is installed can:
    • Join and post the complete VCDS Auto-Scan in the Car Repair Support section of our forum.
    • Send the complete VCDS Auto-Scan directly via email.
  • Registered VCDS users encountering difficulty Retrofitting a Xenon headlight system need to join and post in the Retrofits section of our forum. Post the Auto-Scan prior to the retrofit in addition to the Auto-Scan after the replacement parts were installed when assistance is needed.


As of VCDS Release 15.7.0 it is possible to perform Basic Settings in address 09-Cent. Elect. This procedure has received limited feedback to date so Paul's New Xenon Range Adjustment Procedure - HOW TO thread may be helpful.
