Retro-Fitted the Xenons(the outcome) with vid and pics
« on: March 18, 2010, 03:44:23 pm »
This has really been done on a very very tight budget by me Mr Scrooge :happy2: The headlights cost me £300 with the bulbs, ballasts and every thing else. 

I also bought the auto leveling but got the parts minus the loom from Ebay.DE the headlight range module is an 8P0 unit from an Audi A3 and the sensors are from the Golf, 

Every thing else washer jets and hose I got off ebay.co.uk for £11 :grin: :happy2: that included the 4 bumper mouldings, 2 Jets and the full hose right to the pump.

A couple of pics

No Xenons


Xenons


Xenons without auto leveling or washers


Washer Jets


All installed with DRL's on


Vid of washers


In all its cost me about £550-£600 including the 2 looms from Kufatec for the washers and auto leveling

Cheers

Nice one Morty, good that you did it properly, with washers and levelling just a shame to get your nice clean car dirty with the washer fluid, sadly I wash my wind-screen before switching the lights on just after cleaning.  :stupid:

excellent work, did the washers not need a new pump for the washer container, or were they just bolt on the existing system??  :congrats:

Cheers Jake :happy2: the system needed an extra pump for the headlight washers but there is a space in the existing bottle, it just needed an hole for the pump and another for the level sensor cutting out.

I bought the kufatec washer loom which incorporates the pump and washer level sensor in one.

I could do this stuff all day long,  Infact I fitted Golfmans heated washer jets on Monday and before that did the auto leveling and washers in a day all in.

I never used to like using my headlight washers either!  :laugh:

At least I know where to come for levellers!  :wink:

Cheers Andy will get up to yours when I have some spare time mate :happy2:

Nath any time mate, very easy to do the only bit I still hate doing is splicing into the can bus very restricted access where the can buc module is,  I need to find somewhere else I can splice into where I have better access.

Top Job Daz! Excellent stuff. I think Xens make the front profile of any car and look tip-top on the Golf  :pomppomp:

I'm literally mid retrofit with this. My Xenons are sat to my left in my clothes cupboard and the levelers will be ordered once regular car renewals are out the way in June.

What was fitting the levelers like?
Where abouts are you based if you don't mind me asking bud? PM me if need  :happy2:
Thanks.

Looking good Darren.

How did you get the DRL's to work? I didn't think they could be enabled if retrofitted? Is it to do with the levelers?  :happy2:
