Look very smart dude!
Any pics of the ballasts and where you've mounted them under the lights? I fancy getting these for mine and a pic of the install would be good  :happy2:

I mounted the ballasts underneath where the Original VW ballast would go with double sided numberplate tape. Then screwed a decoder box onto one of the original holes for the VW Ballast. 22mm holes was drilled for the gromit on the back of the headlight

Have a little update. Decided to refurbish and paint my alloys. Painted the centres black with a graphite on the face off the alloy. New VW centre caps to finish them off. My R32 rear bumper arrived today. So will need to paint that and get the exhaust made up. Can get a full custom made from cat back for £300.

Here are a few Pictures

They are Depo. Not original. Not had a single problem with them. Give out exact same light ouput possibly better as i have the 6000K HID installed. Just need to get white sidelight bulbs.

Im assuming you did a bit of research into the Diverter Valves which is the best version to get.

Rev G etc?

Little update. Decided to modify my wing mirrors and fit some Puddle lights. ALL works a treat and very bright.

Stripped the wing mirror down


Drill a hole in the bottom using a hole saw

Glued a sheet of clear Perspex on the inside to protect the LEDS from water

Final result. Simple but effective. I know i could have bought the Puddle Lights of ebay. But my wing mirrors dont have the guide at the bottom also wasnt much space underneath. So went with 24 SMD Panel each wing mirror. Wired the SMD panels via the footwell Lights.


What you guys think?
