RS HID/LED fog lights

[zei20t]

ok the plugs arrived!

the pins from the halogen fogs DONT fit into the new plugs. thats fine, i ordered pins for the new plugs just in case. crimped them on easily.

took about 1 hr, not having done it before. its actually quite easy!

ill post some pics later. not that good, used my phone. color temp is same as the DRLs, which is what i wanted.

unfortunately (and i knew anyway) the bulb warning is on. ill have to get some inline resistors for them

So I just hit up Google Translate and sent an email to the email address shown in that first youtube clip.

I will get my hands on these units.
This is going to happen.

when you find out how much, please let me know. and make sure they have a RHD model so we don't blind everyone on the other side of the road.

Somewhere along the lines of $400 for labour and parts, not inclusive of original headlight.

Am still in email contact with the guy - but have been too busy to progress further. :/

hmmm doner headlights will be the expensive bit.

they have kits for some cars, perhaps they can do one for the octavia

Tempted to ask the parts guy at my local dealership for a quote... He must be starting to really hate me.

I would imagine you should be sitting down when they tell you haha

So, how do the LED's look when mounted?

Some A-Hole has smashed my left front fog light...

I parked my car in Campbelltown Mall, and the fog light was fine.
I came back to my car and it had a hole in it. Thats how I know.

Actually... That'd be a whole lot cheaper.
Name your price!

Ah. Cambelltown Mall - that explains it.

people don't give a **** about their own stuff, so why should they care about yours?

OK, forgot I had pics taken for this thread.

Heres one without headlights on, just fog lights, and factory DRLs at 'night' setting:
