What did you and your MK2 do today?

Mine seem to be going at 45k. One side seems to be struggling and moves up slow and has been a bit tough to push down.

Can I ask where you ordered the parts from?

I ordered a pair from ebay (same one as recommended for the bonnet strut mod), £12 delivered lol

[Matt cla]

Cheers for that. I've done the bonnet but didn't consider that they might be the same!

Managed to clip my wing mirror (Doh), mirror is not broken (phew) but is moved out of place and does not sit very well. Reckon it will need replacing or a bit of tlc to put back in it's place?

 

[Dude]

Had 4 eagle f1 asymmetrics fitted yesterday

 

[RikH]

Attempted to fit the eBay led board numberplate lights - what a pile of crap.

No instructions, harness won't connect as the pins won't line up and it's so flimsy that on the first attempt the prongs bent!

Rubbish

 

[Updown789]

Fitted mtec cosmos blue bulbs all round the front end

 

[Updown789]

AAAANNNDDD, will be removing the mtec bulbs. Low beam pattern was tosh and not bright enough

 

[CameronJohnston]

AAAANNNDDD, will be removing the mtec bulbs. Low beam pattern was tosh and not bright enough

I thought the full beam were crap as well they don't even light up the road

Have you checked you have 12v bulbs? Some on here have ended up with 24v , which will be somewhat dim.......
P.S. if you ordered them following a link on a certain thread (kebabwarrior81 ), They'll be 24v..........

 

[Dan FR]

They are crap in terms of light output, even the 100w variants are, they're just a lovely colour

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Yep the H1 set i have are the 24v and are complete and utter garbage will be putting the stock ones back in when I get chance.H7 m-tec super whites are good but don't put out as much light as night breakers. However they are a Much crisper white light.

[G4reth]

Philips Diamond Vision are miles better than MTec bulbs.

 

[richicupra]

Sorted out the sticking tailgate handle. Took the whole thing apart for a good clean and grease.
