Thanks man.

haha am hoping to get these wired up asap

I have the same thing in my Passat W8 rooflight...

It's all about the red glow dude.....



Got the red in mine to make ppl look even at night lol....

nice update greg very creative, did you make the plastic bit that holds the bulbs?
the pure reason i want to get the w8 light is for the red lights. i love em in the golf, brilliant little feature

I noticed the plate around the light as well, is that standard ?

Thanks for the comments guys only reason i didnt do the W8 passat light mod, is because i have a sunroof and it wont fit properly. So i thought this would be a decent equivalent

Thanks Verity

No no, they are LED bulb holders from maplins Yeah fingers crossed they are going to work! I am a bit concerned they will be too bright, but if thats the case then i will put some resistors in to dull them down

Its because I have a sunroof mate

ahh, that makes sense, I thought i was missing summat out of mine then

Got a few updates coming up

Have ordered a 9n3 handbrake with the red stitching so it matches the gear gaiter

Im getting my rear windows tinted next weekend 65%

And my red LED lights that glow onto the gearstick should be finished next week at some point.

Will post pictures up when its all done and fitted

Does the 9n3 gti fit as a complete unit or is it more involved than that I was gona get mine trimmed but heard others fitting there ones on the 9n3????

Fits as a complete unit mate just a simple case of removing the old one and replacing it with the new one. You need to swap the chrome buttons over apparently, and it may require a slight trim at the bottom so it fits properly when the handbrake is on/off

Ah wicked, fort I read it could go on.... No how much they are from Vw?????

I have no idea mate sorry

look forward to seeing photos from the updates! specially the red lights! get em wired up!!
