rf's FR TDi - NOW SOLD - Another Car Change 2013!

[ScottHmk4]

well i was going to take them off tomorrow, but not sure if it's a good idea to leave the holes behind them exposed incase it rains?

doubt it would do anyt harm, even just masking tape over the holes if your worried, i got my stuff back the same day it went in, so there not going to be off for long.

Got my hids on the car today. Still not fixed the drivers side ballast into place as i'm not sure where to put it, any ideas guys? Also, not sure if the beam pattern looks right?

They look like they need adjusting a bit. Drivers side looks to be higher than the passenger side.

Neo has a post with a very good guide for adjusting them

It's included in the HID thread that I made in the mk4 FAQ section

Ok couple of pictures of the hids at night

The camera on my phone does'nt show up the beam of light very well for some reason Think they need adjusted properly still

Agreed, the RHS is too high.

Cheers, will sort them out tommorrow. With the light nights in now, i doubt they'll be used much tbh.

Yeah it should be fine i guess. How long did it take you to get them off when you did yours? Thinking of doing them tomorrow after i come home from work and then gym, so will be about 7.30 - 8pm till i start. Just don't want to be doing it at midnight! Planned to do it today but i had one too many sherbets last night and felt a bit worse for wear today, so fitting the hids was more than enough ha ha.

Getting the sidestrips off only took me about 30mins... removing all the leftover glue took me 2-3 hours though!

I think Scott swears by a toffee wheel, perhaps not having one was where I went wrong...

Gave the car a quick wash the other day. It's now filthy again as it rained yesterday and today, white cars are hard work to keep clean!!

Photos are crap quality as they are taken on my phone, don't own a decent camera

To me it looks like your camera lens is dirty or scratched, hence the cloudy images and the massive lens flare when the lights are on.
