What did you do to your Mk5 today?

[zillar32]

Hey, all done & surprising my easy!

Looks greats, what did they set you back?

[lexnic86]

Cheers bro, just $400 AUD. They're for a LHD but you just need to swap the lenses over in the center lights (reverse & fog) but are otherwise a plug & play set up. I chose not to put the red lense back into the centers because I liked the clear look.

I'm trying to figure out how to put DRLs in the headlights

You mean inserting a LED strip inside the headlight unit in that dead space beneath the lights & next to the indicator?

Yeah, any ideas on what to buy and how to fit them?

I've seen these: exLED VolksWagen Jetta(5th)/Golf(5th) Front Turn-Signal & DRL Power LED Modules with Controller (pair)

And these: VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 5 LED TECHNIK | Products | POGEA RACING

A guy I follow on Instagram just did it. He drilled a hole in the back, then filed the rest of the way. He inserted a LED light strip He bought off eBay & earthed it. That way when ever the car was on, they were on. Then He taped the back of it back up leaving a breather for the hot air to escape. Sounds really "budget" & a bit tacky, but the look from the outside was great!

Yeah it sort of does look a bit ****, the post above that one looks good.

Took my Audi tts engine cover off because I'm not a fan of the 4 rings, decided rip the rings off and get the bog out.


Just have to do a final sand, then it's ready to be cleaned and primed ready for paint [emoji4]

Fitted a GTI instrument cluster facia to the TDI's cluster and I had another flat bottom steering wheel with ST2 paddles on it that I put on (don't think I like them).

I wanted to keep my paddle extensions black like the interior. These are mine



I would've liked just black plastic without the carbon fibre look, but couldn't find any

I installed these when I had my Mark V GT

I don't mind the look as they match the silver bezels on the cluster, they just make it feel cluttered.
I will try them for a bit and see if they grow on me.

Are they from eBay? I brought a set from aliexpress, waiting for them, is the adhesive strong?

Yes they are from eBay, only $18, not the best adhesive, ended up coming off on a really hot day, so I did my own with strong double sided tape can't fault them now
