Just a quick hi from me, picked up my 2013 Leon FR 150 on Tuesday. Not new to seats as this is my fourth, just changed from a 320d efficientdynamics and to be honest I like the Leon a lot more. It's only a poverty spec 150 but fits my needs at the moment and I'm delighted with it. Certainly a step up from my previous Ibizas and Leon in terms of quality.

nothing wrong with the 150BHP model. I had a 150, now have a 184 and I don't really think there's that much difference between the 2 in terms of power, braking and handling - enjoy

I would have gone for a 184 if I had more time but I needed to p/X the Bmw in quickly and the Leon was close and available at a good price, having said that I am more than happy with the 150. I've had plenty of quick cars but at the moment I need a reliable, economical car and this fits the bill perfectly.

Retrofit the led lights :) and you done.

Remember you don't need to cut your cables for this mod, Dave should sell you a female connector so you can build yourself a conversion cable, the key on this mod is a scrapyard Leon crashed buy the front headlight led cable

I'm sure that they require additional work, unless you have done this and can confirm?

first i thought was needed control unit and all sort of thing but no it doesn't, come to realise a lot of people done this in Birmingham, I went there to see and its not hard and no coding needed, just a headlight loom from the car with led lights as standard, all you need its headlight loom from a vehicle with led as standard for the conversion, I done one side and cant see any fault on dashboard and it works but the turn signal is flashing a quarter of the led white and should be the yellow one which mean connected to wrong place should not be much left and one cable is done,

Took me 4 attempts to get these front loom every time I call they already been sold on eBay, try call and ask if the car had led as standard and you will see that the loom is already gone which mean loads of people know how to do this and if you aske them they will tell you they buy to install led on their cars, and I saw one extension done in Birmingham on Leon 1.4TSI I took pictures but it don't help as cable colours are different from mine, I got the millimetre reading from his cable but my car is different so aim building my cable

I have 2.0 TDI FR with auto lights and assisted lights, it turns off maximum when detect other cars so if you have the same your cables should be the same as mine once I complete it I can send you pictures, its easier to get new loom from SEAT but is £500 and there is no returns, this mod is just loom nothing else

How do you active the assisted lights? I've tried turning mine on for assisted lights for full beam (so they dip automatically when they detect another car), but haven't managed to turn it on. Not the end of the world really as I'm fine with turning them off manually.

I've got the LED headlights, are the automatic dimming for xenon only?

on the radio press car, setup, scroll down to lights then choose what you want, its the second from line change assist, depending how many settings your car has
