Any pics of the rear of the grille piece please? May try a retrofit on some open vents and put them along the bottom part?

Quick update - Now the snow has finally cleared, I have tried to investigate exactly what is required to do the job myself. I have no problems with any of it other than adding an extra circuit and getting the switched live from the fusebox. To be honest I think this is beyond me having read the instructions from here:

http://www.my-gti.com/601/addition-of-extra-circuits-to-the-volkswagen-golf-jetta-passat-eos-scirocco-rabbit-fuse-box

Darren has kindly offerred to help me out when he is next free, so I am patiently waiting for a free slot.  :smiley:

I went to see Darren today and after three hours of Darren's hard work here are the results:



I am so happy with the final result! The wiring has all been done like it should and the finished product looks and works really well.

Many thanks to Darren for his hard work in the cold weather and to his wife for the cups of tea :happy2:

Darren I will be in touch again soon it was great to meet you today :smiley:

Yeah!! At last there's another member in the 'LED-DRLs-and-fogs-in-the-fog-grill' club!  Glad Darren was able to sort them for you - told you it was worth the wait!

Nice to have a day with no snow, ice or rain at last!  :happy2:

What's next then?!

Excellent job, really like the look of these! Without a doubt they are one of the nicest looking DRL install I have seen on a Mk5 yet.

Crikey, these look good. Only thing is I like my open vents... I've been thinking about fitting LED strips to them but it seems far too much effort.

Hi everyone, just read through all 14 pages of posts, i'm very impressed with the spec of these they do look very OEM

i have the A6/S6 DRL's in my grills on an R32 and even though i'm very ok at fitting work and wiring a doddle as a sparky there a right pig to fix in.

i will be bounding these around the r32oc as i know there are gti and other owners over that way

PND they look great on your car and not wanting to start another argument i do perfer them on with ignition and dimming with side/head lights so great job and lots of good pics and write ups given :happy2:

ps sorry if my spelling and grammer wasn't upto scratch for some

Also for any R32 owners or A6/S6 drl owners have a quick read though this it might be useful

http://www.r32oc.com/tutorials-guides/29360-fitting-wiring-a6-drls.html

you might also be intrested in OEM engraved switches from
