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.

  • SciroccoJ's Tiguan 155 R-Line Build Thread

    Instead of carrying on the delivery thread, I have decided to do a build thread and record down the journey with the little tiger!

    Let's start with some photos when I first pick up the Tiguan.

    And here we go with the first mod on the night that I pick up the car!

    I have ordered a set of Philips Crystal Vision H7 and Konik H15 (DRL+High Beam Kit) combo. Also a set of Knoik Error-Free Licence Plate globe (which I have used as parker light now).

    Thumbs up to Dave from BlingWork Auto! Best service you could get in the industry, someone know the product and genuinely willing to help!

        Apparently the 2014+ Tiguan is sharing the same licence light unit as the Audi A7 (yea ... I know what you thinking), I will try it out tonight and post some follow up!

            Mirror covers only take 5 minutes to install, another 15 minutes for the rear lights. Enjoy!!

                Nice tiggy out there! Love your set of wheels!

                For the mirror, is that just to pop the glass out and replace?

                  I got the same mirror covers! Yeti satin silver ones

                  Just pop off the mirror gently using a trim removal tool, then it is fairly easy from there on.

                        Okay... I have let my thumb to rest for a night... and hand's itchy again!

                        Conversion is easy enough (except for my injury .. anyway), just need to trim the extra bit out on each plug. piece of advice is to get heavy duty cutter/blade to do the job... or else ... like me!

                        No need to do any coding, basically plug and play, no flickering nothing! Only dilemma is the rear fog light seems not working and I am getting globe error.

                        However... I think it worth million dollars!!

                        Here is the before and after photos!

                            Nice work!

                            It may well be an issue with the adapters. If they're adapters for LHD car they'll have the fogs connected on the other side. Could you have put the adapter in the wrong side??? The fogs change side for LHD and RHD cars I'm pretty sure.

                            Now the real question is when was the last time you used your foglights? To be honest I don't think I've used them in 10 years so not really an issue for most people who live on the coast.

                            I'm thinking of doing this mod to my wife's new 155TSI... so when you get yours sorted let us know

                              This is the RHD version of the tail... and I could see the light inside the right inner cluster.

                              I dont use them... havent got it in my scirocco neither ......... Just that globe error would irritate me...........
