Attempted this today guys and it was easy, up untill the point where I realised that the connector which houses the Bulb holder is different. :confused:
The work around is to cut the old connector off, then crimp and heat sink the new bulb holder on. Anyone think that this will be a problem before I attempt it? I really can't see it, but thought I'd ask :happy2:
-
Nah go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :grin:
Where did you get the projector fogs matey?

I was going to go for it but the bloomin dark beat me :mad:
Got them off a 2005 GTI at a scrappy near me, £15 for the pair :happy2:
-
Dont use the dark as an excuse!!
Get out there and fit em! :grin:
-
You need the wires that come with this kit, I think the dealers do them

Thanks Cooper, perfect plug and play kit. I actually have both type of connectors as these were chopped off the donar cars fog light loom, so I still think I can do a DIY job? :happy2:
-
I had the same problem when I put the GT front end on mine.
The old fogs had different connectors to the new. I just cut them off, soldered the new connectors on and heat shrunk them up!
The last time I got some connectors and repair wires from VW it cost me £40!
-
40 Squids!!!!! :surprised:
I just cant work Vw out sometimes, Repair wires and connectors for £40, seems like they want to put you off doing anything yourself by scaring you off with crazy prices??? :fighting:
Looks like a bit of good old handy work tomorrow then.........
How's the Steering wheel by the way bud :happy2:
-
Job done :happy2: Worked like a dream :laugh:
-
Nice one!
Nothing like a bit of D.I.Y :happy2:
Steering wheel was spot on.......but the missus prefers the mk6 one thats in there :sad1:
-
Really??? The Mk6 looks good, but I still prefer the Mk5................ At the moment anyway :signLOL:
Folding wing mirrors Retro-fit tomorrow :happy2:
Plus all the Chome Switches from the Mk6 / CC :wink:
-
Retros a go go!!
Iv got a few more in the pipeline and of course will be posting all details on here :happy2:
Folding mirrors are good for the puddle lights but crap for folding! :laugh:
-
Lol, yeah I know, they only fold about and inch, it's only the fact that I got a cheap set with all the controllers that I'm fitting them :happy2:
Plus it's an extra OEM toy :grin:
-
No fair play to you, Id fit them just for the puddle lights!! :signLOL:
-
I also did the "Even Stevens" rear fog light conversion today.... Piece of cake and looks so much better. Why Vw didn't do it as standard God only knows? :stupid:
-
What bulb have you got in the fog? standard with red tint or red LED?
As Top Cat would say 'symmetry is everything!' :signLOL:
-
Standard Type with a Red Tint, didn't know they did a Red LED type? :jumping:
Have you got one fitted?
-
Yeah they do them but you need a resistor, does look sweet though.
You get rid of the red look altogether for a perfect match :happy2:
I had one in my LED rear lights and a LED reverse but there being worked on so im back to standard at the mo.
