thanks, expect some PM in the near future when I try it

i spoke to an auto electrician today and he gave me a few tips.

he said to test how bright the upgrade will be run a cable from the battery to headlight where it is live with the lights on.

Alright Giorgio, no probs, just drop me a pm if you need any advice and i'll do my best, i PM'd Steve-o on club polo for help and he was really helpful too

this is a little drawing i did of the layout you should end up with if it helps you understand it a bit better as steve-o's guide didn't seem to include anything like this...

p.s the grey boxes are obviously the relays

I ran a cable just to see and the improvement is amazing. i took some pics of what I did and will put them up soon

kewl lol

i'm still having trouble trying to find a time when i won't need to drive my car in the dark for a couple days, just in case i mess it up some how and break it

although gotta say your little wire experment has given me some inspiration to just do it, spose i can always tape my maglite to the bonnet if i get desperate

Check this out for inspiration




This was done with a peice of wire to test the difference. Results speak for themselves

my headhights are well good here's some photo's, the headlight loom is standard. I have now put osram 30% in now and WOW.

This is my car on dip beam



main beam

I got the bulbs in spain

Slightly off topic but when i indicate to stop my car on the side of the round switch my lights off take keys out and lock it my left lights stay on front and back :S im slightly confused as to why this happens?

That's your side lights, (i think) so if you stop on a dark street or whatever traffic can see that the edge of your car and dont hit it! if you leave the indicator on, if you switch the indicator off it shouldn't do it.

Is the guide or circuit diagram for this still available?

just google headlamp relay harness and theres plenty of info

I've just bought a 1996 VW polo 1L and the headlights are terrible, can i fit these bulbs to my car even though its a mark 4 (i think)

Nice pity the link to the article on club polo doesn't work any more

Hi all,

Just about to put a plug in a new headlight loom in a MK3/MK2F, it's got a male connection to plug into the old loom. Can anyone help with where this is located?

Cheers,

Ben

Have you got a pic? All the looms run back to the fuse box on these
