Got a pair of headlight protectors on the way

Not sure what do next tho....

Good lad
Get yourself some legal pressed plates next from Dubmeister!

Cheers.

I do like the pressed plates and they do look great on black cars so possible.

Was looking at fog lights, but I worked out they will cost £75ish time you get the fogs, grills and the new switch.

Want to do something with my wheels as well, was thinking about just taking the hub caps off and leave them as they are not aint sure hmm..........

i got some of the headlight protectors.

You are probably aware of this but the front fog switches are common in the VW range, it would be far cheaper for you to get one from a scrapyard rather than buying a new one. I got mine from a bora but they can also be found on golfs, polos, beetles and probably more. It was only about £5 from the scrapyard if i remember right. But you are best buying the fogs and grilles new. Hope this helps.

Headlight Protectors Update

They came at 7:30 this morning, all fitted and looking good. Pic soon.

Good stuff mate

Will be upgrading all your bulbs or are you going to change the headlight units for angel eyes?

Aint sure I will be doing regarding either to tell the truth.

Got some new goodies on the way home from work tonight.



Need some help with a few things now.

• What bulbs do I need to buy ?
  They came without Wiring, so do I need to get any ?
  How do I fit the fogs into the grill ?
  How do I wire them to the new switch ?

Someone help me please

Thank You

H7 bulbs - two of
No, the car is pre wired - the wires are connected to blanks up inside the bonnet
You need little push in mounts and screws from a VW dealer that are specific to the bumper
You need to just swap the switch over

Not as bad as 1st thought then .

How muchish are the mounts and screws ?

Any tips on the best H7 Bulbs to get.

Pence mate

If you want good ones, osram nightbreakers

But to be fair, they are just fogs and get used once in a blue moon.

Can I get the mounts and screws online, there is a vw garage not far from me, but I aint sure if they would have/ sell parts or not.

Nope dealer only.

They will sell them, but theyll have to order them in. Will take a day or two
