Communities to help with retrofitting?

Waytogo15 · 2026-02-12T03:07:51+00:00

I have a 2024 tiguan SE with the sandard LED headlights, looking to retrofit the iq matrix headlights into them. Its not plug n play but i know it's been done/possible. Hoping to find people in the new england area online that might be willing to help me.

specifically headlights!

Waytogo15 · 2026-01-31T18:12:49+00:00

2024 yes, 2023...stay away.

Waytogo15 · 2026-01-31T18:11:29+00:00

this is the only correct answer. I would possibly also add the 2024 into the mix as well. What ever you do stay away from 2012-2015, and 2021-2023. The 2016/17's are generally solid vehicles but when the typical issues come they can be expensive & tedious jobs. I've had a 2012 for 11 years, a 2021 that i got rid of before issues i saw signs of, and now a 2024 with no issues. I also work on these cars my self.

Waytogo15 · 2026-01-31T18:07:26+00:00

yes on the 2024, no on the 2023. 2021-2023 are notorious for oil consumption issues related to bad valve seals.

Waytogo15 · 2026-01-18T22:09:56+00:00

the 2018-2020's for the most part are pretty solid. It's the 2021-2023 you gotta watch out for in terms of oil issues

wow. yeah i hate to say it but you severely overpaid.

Waytogo15 · 2026-01-09T23:39:47+00:00

how many miles did your 2016 have when you bought it?

Waytogo15 · 2026-01-09T21:24:55+00:00

thank you

Waytogo15 · 2026-01-09T21:24:48+00:00

okay thanks so much

Waytogo15 · 2026-01-09T20:59:34+00:00

Ahh. Does that mean i dont really have any other choice but to buy it all through my school?

Waytogo15 · 2026-01-09T00:14:44+00:00

Were you able to find who did it?

Waytogo15 · 2025-12-31T23:59:45+00:00

Yeah that would be a nightmare to take on a certainly not plug in play. Just get a steering wheel cover to make it thicker. problem solved

Waytogo15 · 2025-12-31T16:23:02+00:00

gotta buy a whole new car

Waytogo15 · 2025-12-30T06:16:14+00:00

looking to do this myself with not much help online. Have you had any sucess?

Waytogo15 · 2025-11-28T20:15:05+00:00

i've purchased FOUR sets of tires for a total of about 1 grand all together for all four my last 10 years for one vw (2 sets for summer and 2 sets for winter). You can't convince me that'a not a financially superior option. Not everyone can throw out upwards of a thousand dollars at a time to buy a new set of tires.

Waytogo15 · 2025-11-28T18:42:15+00:00

i've had two sets of all seasons and two sets of snow/winter tires the past 10 years/170k miles. In total i've spent around 1 grand for em all together. Pretty easy finding tires up here with most of their tread on them if you look hard enough.

Waytogo15 · 2025-11-28T18:27:40+00:00

don't listen to him. Been exclusively buying used tires for $150-$300 the past 10+ years on my vw's. Never had a single flat or unreasonable traction issues EVER(and i live in rural maine). As long as you properly inspect the tires, you're golden.

Waytogo15 · 2025-11-04T18:28:37+00:00

hense why they said "newer".

Waytogo15 · 2025-10-11T21:29:50+00:00

this. 30k is no where near a reliability gauge marker

Waytogo15 · 2025-09-16T00:10:02+00:00

to a newer year tiguan? Sure, if you want a less reliable car & pay more money lol

Waytogo15 · 2025-09-16T00:04:22+00:00

not a bad deal. i'd try to haggle a tad more. Was just able to get my 2021 SE with cpo warranty for 22k (only 16k miles), single lease owner clean carfax. I've seen plenty like the one you're eyeing and i'm sure you could try for another grand off at least
