Ebay.

I soon realised that the GT Sport badge is different to the GTi badge.

However it's the same as the Passat B6 or CC.

Finally found no2 on the wish list.
Ed had to remove them from another car though and then rebuild it with normal headlights!

I honestly believe there is no end to that man's talents! :notworthy:

I will, as soon as I get some time........only took a couple pictures but you'll get the idea I'm sure. In the mean time, it was 2 full factory retro fits and one cool little mod!

UPDATE TIME part 1.......

So, Eddie-NL turned up last Thursday to commence a full Xenon retrofit, Lights, Washers and levelling system plus a few other bits.

He started by stripping out the cockpit:-



Stripped off the front:-



Fitted the front level sensor:-



Fitted the rear level sensor:-



Fitted the new washer bottle with headlight wash pump and fluid level sensor:-



Test fitted the lights:-




Ed used 3 Kufatec wiring looms to connect it all together and his own work to get the Xenon shutters to activate when on main beam.
I also fitted LED's for the sidelights while the lights were out which at first seemed not to be working. We stripped the lights out and turned the LED's around in their holders and "Hey Presto" they worked.

The lights have been a long time coming but boy were they worth it......Even Ed was impressed! The light output is immense, Main beam is just awesome and the LED sidelights really finish it off.
I would like to run the sidelights as DRL's but as far as i can work out it's no possible :confused:

Ed did do a few other bits and I still have more to do. I will take some more photo's of the finished product later on to try and show the effect.
Ed worked for 13 hours and didn't finish until 1.30am. The man is an absolute star :notworthy: ......If anyone needs anything retrofitting, you can't go far wrong by giving Eddie a call!

That's it for now.......There's a GP on, oh wait, Vettel is winning again :rolleye: .....BORING!

Well, I was offered everything I needed for a very low price so I thought "Go for it" but when Ed came to take everything off the donar car he discovered that the level sensors were shot. Been the perfectionist that he is, he persuaded me to buy some new ones rather than do "half a job". So all in all with the new looms it turned out to be quite a lot more £'s than I first thought it would be.
However, the performance of the Xenons is staggering compared to the normal lights so probably worth it!
I'll just have to do a lot more O.T to pay for it.  :signLOL:
