Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Replaced the running lights with LEDs on my Jetta

    Bought these LEDs of eBay from China, took 3 weeks to come but they look good and only cost $18 !

    pretty easy and simple process to remove and replace.

        Looks good mate.
        Any chance you could take a picture with the DRL's off to see how visible the bulb is in the headlight housing?

                          Cheers Jake.

                          Damn they are cheap. Kind of worries me how long they will last though.

                            na they'll last, i have similar LEDs (cheap ebay from china) on my previous car last 2+ years before I traded it in.

                            anyway coz the DRL LEDs took so long to come I ordered another 2 and I have them now as spares.

                              i've also purchased all the LEDs for the interior, but I'm having trouble trying to get to the two dome bulbs...
