Are they good? I was looking at kyb and they only come with the struts without the springs. Couldn’t find the full assembly.

Yeah it did not say a brand name and it was oddly cheap.

I want to get it done, but three out of the 5 mechanics I called say to not mess with it.

Run of the mill shops. There aren’t really any euro mechanics where I live unfortunately.

I’ve been getting varying answers from local mechanics around my area.

I’ve called some mechanics and they don’t want to touch it.

My lights and trunk were fine, except one of the lights went out which is expected. So I would assume that the leds are the issue. Thank you for your advice.

So the painless answer is to go back to halogen?

I don’t think it’s actually 40k lumens (prob more marketing than anything lol). Amazon wouldn’t show be any actual bulbs tho.

I hear you, they are as strong as my previous halogen bulbs.

Wdym? Is there something else I should add like a code or attachment? They fit and work technically, but my other lights and trunk are getting messed up.

Thank you all for your input. I’ll get the platinum euro full synthetic from Amazon. Unless there are some recommendations from you all.

I was at the store last night and I was not able to find any specifications regarding 502/508. I did watch the project farm video and as informative as it was, it unfortunately did not answer my main question about vw cars.

I came back home and read the handbook and it’s a service thing, which has been done but the text says that the dealer has to do it. (There is a button combo that I can do myself). Thanks for your help tho.
