-

i too wondered that, if a sublte blure then i think that would work a treat for me so if anyone has got them pease please please upload some pics. also looking at the fleabay page it does caution on the strength of these LEDs...
-
I have Blue in my vRS. Looks uber cool especially when it's pitch black outside and you illuminate the inside of the car blue. I used have Blue LED's in the puddle lights on my previous car. Sadly the vRS doesn't get puddle lights :sad1:
I will post up pics this evening if i get chance.

None :happy2:
Although there are 2 lights included with resistors built in, I have no idea where they go mind :laugh:
-
i believe theyre for the vanity mirrors, footwell or glove. i believe i put those in the vanity and.no.problems.since
-
same 1s i bought off fleebay aswel, put them in couple days ago. makes a massive difference to the standard bulbs
but as ben stated these are a little too bright
ill get some pics up 2night soon as it drops alittle darker

Dont think so dude, the vanity mirrors are festoon bulbs the two that have the resistors in are the 501's :happy2:
So far I have changed them all and have no error codes etc so im stumped as to where they are meant to go :laugh:
May just stick them in my side lights :smiley:

some great pictures there ben :congrats:
my LED`s are the same and tbh they look aewsome at night, although i have only 2 led`s in the back as i found 3 were just too bright for me.
BTW clean your car out :signLOL:
-
Haha cheers Dude :happy2:
Only 2 very quick snaps though as the neighbours started looking at me :stupid: :stupid:
Yeah I think I'm going to take the centre one out of the rear too see if that darkens it a bit.
No I like it dirty :rolleye:
-
dude - is that a surf board on your roof?
-
Yeah kind of, Its a stand up paddle board which is basically a surfboard but longer, wider and thicker :happy2:

If I buy one does she come with it? :evilgrin:

Oh hi B3n, didn't know you got another Golf. Your old one is still doing fine!
Had a guy look at that big scratch in the rear quarter panel but said it would have to be a body shop job, bit to expensive for me at the moment....or ever probably.
washed and polished Saturday, bird crapped on it today..... :sad1:
really wan't some of these light in the BLOO but would like to see how they look first.
edit: lol looking through some of your Flikr picks and see lots of......my car! :P
-
Right - Full LED light kit installed.
MASSIVE DIFFERENCE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW P!SS POOR THE STANDARDS ARE!
Got 13 bulbs (think i was meant to get 11 so I have a few spare )
All internals including the boot have been upgraded and i'm so impressed.
If you ain't got round to the LED upgrade get round to it ASAP.
Will update with a pic once it gets dark!
-
how did you remowe exchange foot well lights? Can't get my head around how to take off the little metal box surrounding the bulbs?
I exchanged all and it's night and day comared to standard ones!
-
you just have to praise it a little (where the 4 bits clip in) with a small screw driver and make sure its the canbus free bulbs you install for the footwells otherwise it will bring up errors on any scan.
The glove box light also has the metal box surround.

Might need to pinch spare of you for my boot and the centre piece for the upfront map reading lights if you have those two left over as those two I never got :sad1:

Sure mate, i ain't got the boot 1 spare as its the same bulb as the vanity lights (only got 3) but you can have the centre piece no probs, PM or drop me a text when you want it and we meet up.

Haha hows it going fella, Glad she is going well :happy2: actually miss that car :sad1: Yeah got myself an ED30 in Oct :smiley:
If I were you I would dodge the bodyshop with that scratch and get yourself to a good detailer who would touch it in then wetsand to blend it in. That's what I was going to have done. Haha yeah got plenty of pics of that car :sad1: Hope it is still as shiny now as it was when those pics were taken :innocent:Right - Full LED light kit installed.

pau its really simple to do you just need a small flathead and from rither end just prise it out.. its just like a lego block. there is a guide on the ukmk forum if you google how to remove mk5 gti footwell lights or how to change footlight bulb it will come up :happy2:

those are a bugger, found the drivers side a real pain, but its the same as the glove box you need to apply firm pressure and prise it out with a screwdriver. don't think you need pics mate as its pretty straight forward just very secure/tight.
-
cheers guys for all the advice! just finished the foot wells and glove box! full led interior now! pretty happy with the results! :happy2:
-
nice1 :happy2: get some pics up. last night i fell asleep about 9, so missed opportunity if you ask me, will be on the case tonight!
-
Right here's a pic which i took quickly. sorry for the quality but it was a quick snappy as i was freezing.
massive difference from the standard bulbs, super white! :happy2:
