Does anyone have a picture of their angel eyes fitted and lit up?

Mine still seem pretty dim, which is a shame and am I right in thinking the middle lights dont come on anymore as the angel eyes are now the sidelights? and the remaining lights are for full beam usage?

It's been a while since I've ...

Re: Dash peeling

The center insert of the dash seems to be peeling. It seems to be a very thin layer of rubber/plastic. Has anybody else had this? I there a way of repairing it?
Its on 03 Polo 1.4 S and its only done 15,000 miles.

How much would a new centre insert cost?

Also hello, its my 1st post

cheers ...

so have you changed yours? Do you have to take apart the whole headlamp? Just out of interest for the future when I do decide to replace the LEDs that's all :)

When I was fitting headlight bulbs to the angel eyes I couldn't see how to fit LEDs. I got LED sidelights but there's no sidelight bulb holder? I presume you'd have to change all the little LEDs on the angel eye rings themselves which I have no idea how to get at.

Also I had to fit 2 sets of H7 ...

I'd only go for springs if you're really on a budget. I've heard that by using lowering springs although the ride height comes down, the standard factory dampers are not designed to be so low therefore the dampers end up failing prematurely. I'm saving up for a springs and shock kit because:

a) I ...

Angel eyes fitted and working now! Although I didn't use the wiring loom they gave me as when wired up the angel eyes didn't work? :? I've also ripped out the old beam adjuster motors from the OE valeo lights and fitted them on so I've got the ability to adjust the lights via the dash. :) and the ...

A standard sidelight bulb per side is 5w. By fitting a angeleye, each lamp has 10 1.2w bulbs so thats 12w per side. Whether the original wire would be able to handle that increase I'm not sure but I'd think the wiring/relay is supplied for a reason :?:

Connecting to the battery is a matter of ...

So you just plugged in the original wiring from the car into the new headlights and thats it? You didn't wire anything new in?
