I'm in Leeds mate,  the levelers are not hard to do if you have a good guide, http://furmanka.blogspot.com/2007/12/mk5-wiata-ksenonowe-z-samopoziomowaniem.html

I will be putting some jets with the hose and bumper moulding in red on the bay,  the jets are ment for the standard golf or r32 although I had them on mine for a few weeks and they work perfectly, its just the brackets that are different.

Ollie yes mate I think its some thing to do with the auto leveling wiring and how it goes through the central electrics,  Although for some reason it doesn't always activate through the coding,  I did it the other day but turned it off...then did it again today and it wouldn't turn on.

Mr Rascal any time mate

Are these lights second hand? I put the hella look-a-likes (posted them on hella xenon look thread), with blue h7 bulbs cost me around £340 total lol. I feel a bit mugged off if you got the real deal for the same price(less washers and auto levelers) lol :sad1:

 :wink: yes £300.  I have to admit though I had to buy a new ballast for one of them cos it had blown...think it cost me £50?  There has been some cheap ones on the bay like Ollie said he got his for around the same price has me.

Cheers

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

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.

Darren

The same module that everyone goes on about for the infotainment units? There's a good thread on r32oc.com where the guy gets to it via the bonnet after removing the scuttle panel near the wipers. Makes it look a lot easier than ferreting about under the dash!
