  • Bought the Philips CV, hopefully the LEDs arrive today and the CV Wednesday so i can do a full test

    • Good work let us know how you go. The CV are great however it takes a little time to adjust to the higher temp levels. I wanna put in the LED's back in as well so it adds a nicer blue and brighter tint.

      Now to get NB for high beams and then I'm either thinking going real yellow for fog or sticking to whites. I saw the yellow on a car couple of nights ago looks cool.

      • All I will say is don't drive a country road at night with the crystal visions. They're good for lighting up reflectors but that's about it....

          • I know what you mean gavs... which is why I went for Osrams for high beams. Basic highways etc it's fine enough for me really and having the added bonus of adjusting the lighting positioning is great, never had that before. Plus I don't do any country traveling.

            I'm thinking of getting LED's now for the fog lights but going to get H8 LED replacements. I found them on eBay and they would be great.

            Another thing does anyone know how to remove the back passenger lights and the front over hanging visor lights....???

                • Curious question, do i have to remove the headlight unit to put my globes in?

                  I have 3 sets of globes to put in...haha...damn.

                  Any advice/tutorial how to carry out said work...i'm too lazy to get into manuals.

                  • Yes you do, simple really, undo the top screws and pull forward. If you don't trust me, send me a pm with your email address and I'll send you that part of the manual

                    • Just noticed in the Erwin manual that the low beam headlight is H4...yet Bassik put a H7 in his car...

                      Is there any problem with me placing the H7 in my car?

                      Comment


                      • I asked many people what I should put in my low beam and everyone said H7.

                        to my knowledge there are two sets of head lamps. The Gti has the 2 separate ones. Which is 2 sets of H7's. Plus H4 connectors are different to my knowledge, so wont fit. The H7's went in fine.

                            Nah I have interior LED's already (at the front) I need to know how to take the capping off from the back so I can replace them. Also notice that my main interior light is constantly on like even when the car is off. I'm assuming this is because they require such low voltage there is still a very low current going through them 24/7

                              • The rears and front LEDs?

                                Worked like a charm,

                                However i need to ask someone where i can find coding for the DRL/LED...I found a unit with HIDS/Halogen instead of Bi-Xenon (its the exact same as the Bi-Xenon unit minus the Xenon globes!).

                                The biggest plus is it changes from LHD to RHD!

                                I just need the coding...otherwise error central...
