Great, Nice easy mod for a change :)

Do you have to search for the connectors or are they obvious?
How hard can it be?

Looking at these for a 2 door. Are the approx £35 for the bulbs and the holders? Just a bit confused as you can add bulbs seperately too!  :ashamed:

Yeap, around that price for the light units, the LED bulbs and the mini door looms that are required.

Here you go, with the LED Hyper White Bulbs selected (if that's what your after), for a 2dr with mini looms £35.90 + £5.98 shipping).....

Just click on "View Cart" and your done!

You most likely have a gen 1 /2

I used this guide


http://www.my-gti.com/2158

Put the 12v pin into pin 1 and took the ground from the petrol cap switch from driver side and I think it was from the window control on passenger side

^^^^ cheers!  :drinking:

The door card needs to come off first. Heres a written (with pics) guide and also a video guide on taking the door card off.

Written Giude.....

Click here

Video Guide.....

[ Invalid YouTube link ]

Then when the door card is off, follow the instructions in the review as to wiring and coding.

Hope this helps.

 :happy2:

EDIT: Will add the door card removal guide to the review.

Also does any one know the part numbers for the repair wires to do this mod on a 2dr if I go the oem route?
