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,

    Having installed the Valeo LHD OEM LEDs on my Pirelli and having to do the reversing and fog lens switch on them prior to installation.

    I know for a fact that trying to get the outer lenses off the houses requires you to break tabs. The lenses are not screwed in but glued on. I would also advise against it bec it would be a bitch to reseal the housings again.

    Are the R36 housings the same?

      Thanks for the info . I'm not too sure if the R36 housings are the same but I don't think so, IIRC they'er slightly longer.

        looks pretty cool and would suit your car, but, as others have mentioned, i reckon it would be a pain-in-the-ass job. maybe source some of the US non-LED ones you were telling me about...

        ps. those US Altezza jetta tail lights look woeful

          Haha thanks mate. And yeah, it sounds like too big of a job and risk for it to come out as planned. I'd love a set of those GLI tails but they have the red indicator . Something to get defected for...
