ok so headlight one is almost done, used a hairdryer and a Stanley took 15mins to strip ill get a photo up once its complete any one know what the halo bulb is can find an led version as dunno what its called ?

Any ideas what the original bulb is ? be easy to track down any replacement bulbs if if you do. and don't forget to bright MOT fails :( dam EU :) 

And good news so far I think wise choice with the hair dryer. Just don't kill it like I did my Missus hair dryer cost me another £80 for a new one and that was in sale :( and cost me my pods for the gauges ;) 

and done decided to go black as its easy to change I also decided not to copy and cover up as much chrome as possible, odv some is there to reflect light.

I have my own hairdryer, already broke the misses one so got my own LOL

found the bulb just hope they run a little brighter as mine seem dull

Nice if I didn't know better I would have said you bought them ;) I agree 1st thing I would hav done is ebay ;) so Kudos to you so far ;)

As with exhausts etc it depends on the MOT station - my aftermarket bulbs went through no problem but just be prepared to swap between the two if there is an issue

 

on a side note they are brilliant for these plonkers who feel they can drive at night with high beam on permanently gets the message across :P

Lmao where I live its basicly country road or motorway to get anywhere and your right they turn there's off almost instantly

Before and after shots opinions ?

That looks much better, the chrome makes em look a little cheap if you know what I mean, them bulbs look like you have the cel rings in, do they have a blank section at the bottom of the rings?

Unsure what you mean but they have a grey section at the bottom there real dull, hope the led version is brighter

yeh i think you have the CEL ones,

 

these are CEL, you can see the void at the bottom, this is where the bulb goes

 

 

these are the ones i had in my mk4, i had to replace each of the 20 bulbs with led's

 

 

you can just make out the dots of light, mine were yellow when i first fitted them, i then made them look like the ones above but as the leds were cheap i was loosing a light every other day so i ended up disconnecting the side lights and just using the projectors

found pics of my actual ones

 

you can see on the left is the standard bulbs, and the right is the leds, they were more "dotty" in day light but even at night they were distinctive as dots

 

 

Ahh yeah i see, yeah I have the cel ones only one bulb t shaped

Just going back to the pictures of the headlight's look loads better a job really well done I think there :D

Shame I left them on all night and went out to a dead battery lmao

Haha class. Touch wood never done that, nearly but someone came and let me know :)

My lights go off when I take the key out, I thought all classics did that, you can get a light buzzer for a few quid I only have a guide of how to make one for a mk2 golf but the principals the same if it's something you wanna have a bash at I'll dig out the guide for you

Yeah mine go off with key out unless I use the stupid switch on the colum for side lights lmao

Yeh mine stay on with that

parking light it took me ages to figure what that did :D

I spent half an hour scratching my head when I knocked mine on accidently, got out the car, locked up spotted lights on, got in, nope switch was off, was trying all sortsi,I then Googled it and felt a right pillock when I realised

Yeah me and my mate was sat outside his house for about 3 hours in the car flicking it on and off at 1st I thought it was for the turbo spray  <_<  I like to pretend now that I knew what it was all along and I was testing my mate knowledge :)

Lol
