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,

  • LED bulb conversions

    Anyone using LED bulbs for tail lights, indicators and that?

    It seems like to get ones bright enough you have to spend a lot of money, plus the indicators will flash too fast.

    Or do people find stock halogen bulbs better?

    I just replaced all the ones that I could potentially leave on by accident. I.e. the parkers, interior lights and had some number plate ones but they failed.

          Yeah I have my interior and number plate lights LED and they are fine but I am more interested in LED bulbs in the tail lights and indicators.

          To get LEDs that are as bright as the halogen bulbs they seem to be quite expensive. Also you need to get the right colour bulb or they show up too light.

            All the Commodore drivers do led/hid reverse lights for more light and wicked street cred. Some actually work ok, others don't seem much better then halogen other then a cleaner colour
