Re: R5GTT'S GOLF TFSI WITH SKYLINE QUAD LIGHTS - MODS +

Not much of a write up but here you go  :signLOL:

Tools required are as follows.

T25 torx
Pozzy drive screw driver for the two boot lid cover screws.
10mm socket and 1/4 drive rachet for removimg the inner lights and right hand side trim nut at the top under the roof trim which simply clips off.
Soldering iron and solder.
Heat shrink or insulation tape.
Side cutters.
Metal wire hanger to feed wire though the rubber grommet.
Maintenance spray / WD40 to allow wires to run smoothly though the rubber grommet  :wink:

Firstly clear the boot and junk in my case.
Remove the boot floor mat and right hand side cloth trim, parcel shelf trim held by two T25 torx screw and pull on the panel as it will have three retaining clips holding it down. Remove upper roof lining trim.
Remove to two screws from the boot lid under the handles and pull hard on the trim to take it off.


I then ran the wires through the rubber grommet in the boot lid and down the post with the other wiring to the light in the driver's side and then along the bottom of the boot to the left hand side light for that light.
 

Wires were taped up around boot wiring securely so it looks neat and tidy. I chose blue for + positive and white for - negative as it looked nicer and easily recongnised lol
Most of my wiring was wrapped up with black insulation tape and only visible at the ends and near the lights and under the boot lid cover.



Earth point located and fitted on with a 10mm bolt. should have had the proper connectors but sadly left them at work in the tool box.


Wiring the + positive from light to connector socket on rear of the light is black and purple for the right hand side.
Black and red for the left hand side. both are on pin no 3 FYI.
I added two further lengths of wires but guess what?, they aren't needed as inner lights work as brakes without having to wire extra ones as was told by someone from another forum.

Memories there mate. I remember those old skool goodies and that Alpine V12 amp!

To be honest, I've also been in the same boat and had to clear out my garage recently, where I had a treasure trove of old skool goodies. I have been selling them on eBay for several weeks now and have made some good money. Better than putting them in the bin. Someone somewhere will find a use for them.

Yeah old memories  :signLOL: I didn't have the heatt to bin them amd didn't sell them.off at the time because they were going from car to car and it all ended when I brought my tt mk1 which had Bose set up and all I did was fit the top 60x4 head unit in and the cd changer running though the oem tt amp and the system kicked quiet well so kept it at that.

I'm still going to keep these items as they're worth £900 and £400 for the head units £400 for the digital amp and £200 for the 4 channel V12. Those alpine X overs were a pair with DDD Drive speakers which I lost in a sale of one car. Worth £350 att. gosh I wasted money like water those days  :stupid:

I'd stick with silver or black. Can't really go far wrong with that.

Why not get them refurbed and then plastidip them yourself.

Not only will it keep the new wheels protected but you can mix the colours up and try some you wouldn't normally go for. I'd try a bright very pearlescent silver with a finishing coat of the smoke!

I had some wheels on an old car that had a black base coat with a silver lacquer (I think).

They were basically silver in daylight but under artificial light in the evening and at night they took on a really nice depth, kind of anthracite but not as '2D'...

Depending on light and the angle they were viewed from, you'd get everything from deep black to brilliant silver. Bit like that flip paint that was popular with a lot of 90s/00s stuff.

Do something special with them mate!
