m0rk's 2.0 8v Gti

[m0rk]

I'l get the name off the box (it's in the car at the moment)

 

[Mckellar]

Looks fine! are they 6000k temperature?

 

[m0rk]

Yup - I had 6000K's before, and they're the ones I wanted again

a quick run up the road in the dimpsy light around dusk left me wondering how I'd managed a week without them

 

[craig87]

piccy piccy piccy hahaha

 

[Mckellar]

yeah definately, i had a 1.4 with them, then when i knew i was getting the cupra, i ordered them and fitted them at the sellers house.

Couldnt go without them now, yellow light just doesnt cut it!

 

[m0rk]

Will get some pics over the weekend, I need to replace the very yellow looking dim dip bulb first.

Also need to rewire the switch to run HID Dip beams with full beam, rather than switching between them

 

[craig87]

are they easy to wire up???

 

[m0rk]

yeah, they did come with some instructions - but I didn't read them

undo the positive & negative terminals for the old bulb, clip into the HID wiring loom.... clip HID wiring loom together & it's all OK

 

[Mckellar]

yeah, they did come with some instructions - but I didn't read them

possibly because the instructions were in japanese, like mines were.

 

[m0rk]

no, all in english (not engrish)

pleasently suprised I tell you

No, there's carriage on top, but all in it was sub £43 delivered.

Winter hack cars don't need too much investment - all driving in traffic etc anyway, so not 'much' chance to use

I forgot how good spacers are.

 

[craig87]

how wide spacers you running on the rear??

 

[craig87]

what fitment are the HIDs for the beeza??

 

[Mckellar]

H1 for the gti.

id imagine - 15mm spacers?

 

[craig87]

only reason asking bout spacers i got 20mm ones coming and 10mm ones and got mk3 cupra rims on coilovers and wanted to know how the 20mm ones will sit on the back i.e. will i need arches rolled??

I got quite a heavy sound system in the boot so i dont want it slammed on the rear jus sittin above the tyres by a finger really would this be ok??

 

[craig87]

There is some 'bosch' HIDs from china on ebay for £50 with p and p included maybe ill try these??
