does anyone actually connect the yellow wire? if so where the bloody hell do they go :notworthy:
-
I think they feed back to the CECM to allow the shutters to operate when full beam is selected. As to exactly where the feed back to I'm not sure. I'm sure someone can confirm later on though.
-
Correct, they run back to the CECM, through the bulk head into the drivers footwell under the steering wheel.
PITA, but well worth the effort as xenons on full beam are immense
If no one updates this in the mean time, i'll post up a couple of links i used when i'm finished work tonight :happy2:

I have some time set aside this wekend to install mine, can you post those links please Freddy.

Cecm under the the fuse box, pins A5 and D6, you'll also need it coding for bi-xenons :happy2: cant believe I know the pins off the top of my head :confused:

I couldn't find a definitive guide, i pulled from this guide to get through the scuttle panel and down passed the can gateway

Then used this guide for the pin location and access to the CECM

As Morty says A5 for the RH side and D6 for the left
Just remember to wrap the wire first in the black fabric loom tape, those yellow wires stick out like a sore thumb
HTH :happy2:
-
do i need to go to VW and get wiring repair kit with connectors on to be able to fit it into the ecu?
-
You need these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-MK5-Touran-Xenon-headlights-adapter-cable-suitable-for-Bi-Xenon-/400326098883?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d354b7fc3 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-MK5-Touran-Xenon-headlights-adapter-cable-suitable-for-Bi-Xenon-/400326098883?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d354b7fc3)

No, the yellow wire should already have the pins on them? :happy2:

my looms are used so terminal has been cut off :sad1:
also finding it difficult to get the connector in the headlight.... GRRRRR :mad:
-
Do you mean plugging the 10-12 pin adapter into the headlight. Sometimes they can be a little snug but as long you have bought the right one, with some firm but gentle persuasion it should click together :)

wish i had your lights and front bumper of your golf
-
Sorry mate i wasn't aware at the time that you wanted them, otherwise you know you could have had them :happy2:
Nearly every thing went on the 2 dark side cars, there was only the seats and steering wheel that went into a friend of a friends car which i still haven't been paid for, obviously not a friend anymore :fighting:
-
Dug this out again.

Mine didnt have terminal on either, just a short 6" wire with a bare end. Ive had my xenons in 2 mk5s now over the last 4/5 years and never wired that wire in.... CBA! :signLOL:

looks like the purple part in the light is causing the issue
-
Looks ok... does it not fit?
-
Sorry to hi jack your thread, but which adapters did you order? Because mine didn't come with the yellow loom to activate the shutters. Just a gray bit that's a few inches long.

Nope it no fit

I bought my adapters off eBay, run them through my underside of the dash then connected them to the cecm which is under the steering wheel. Pretty simple job, but you obviously need vcds if you want bi-xenon
