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,

  • Changing front oem HIDs

    If you cant get from under engine bay on forums people say to remove grill, front bumpser etc.
    Well whilst cleaning under my guard liners I found an easier way.

    Jack up
    Make safe
    Remove front wheel
    Remove star screws
    Remove/roll back front guard liner
    Access to oem HID
    Made changing mine out easy.
    I had tried from the top but just couldnt get the replacements to sit in (orig bulbs had started to loose output due to clouding on glass)
    Even from here bulbs were tight so I gently filed down the 3 little pips on the mounting face as the replacements were .2mm thicker.
    Square cut out goes to top
