I've been holding off til my 17" Saga's are fitted Char.
As soon as they are I'll take a few shots.
Should have a couple of other wee mods done this weekend

Aw ok, thats a good idea though. Look forward to seeing it.

Hi can you contact me? I have several questions to ask you issues about bulbs. Please PM me(I can't PM you as there is no PM feature in my membership yet) or email me at [email protected]. Thanks.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I can't post new threads at the moment.

Is there any mods you do to the lights to have DRL's on the front and rear lights like the Cupra/Boc except for fitting Bi-xenons ?
Also, I've noticed on some people's rides their front DRL's are where the indicators are whereas on others they are just next to the full beam. Is this some kind of mod?

Any help would be appreciated, cheers!

 

[char_baby]

The bocs DRLs are at the side, same for the cupras. Haven't seen any next to the full beam bulb.

the ones with DRL's are the car's equipped with bi-xenon headlights, which have them where the indicators are.
all the other headlight units have standard sidelights only which are above the main and dipped lamps.

Cheers guys, I had a feeling that was the case.

If you don't mind me asking, do some people change the sidelights to LED's so they can have them on in the day to look like DRL's? or is it just the small case of changing them so they look better in dusk

Sorry I'm a newbie to all this stuff, but when I pick up my car on Tuesday I think I may just indulge in the world of car mods

 

[char_baby]

Don't worry i was a complete noob into the modding world!
Most people change them for the look at dusk. Don't like going around during the day with sidelights on, unless i had DRLs.

Haha thought that was the case.

Cheers VRS, I used this guide last night to stick some Osram Cool Blue sidelights in my Ibiza! Much better than the standard yellow sidelights. Can't believe there was warranty stickers over the headlight panels at the back though!

It is pretty stupid they have them on there lol.

I agree lol. Half of mine were already peeled up so were pointless

 

[char_baby]

same, most of mine weren't even stuck on properly anyway.

 

[Fannon]

I was thinking of changing the orange indicators on the front to the silver ones that light up orange. Same method i havent popped the bonnet to check but can they be done as easily? Cheers.

Sorry i just found the guide! Silly me!

Decent guide there mate, will prob change ours tomorrow, the ones nearest the wing look a bit tricky to get hold of, long nose pliers job maybe?

 

[char_baby]

Maybe could use them if you've got quite big hands, even for me with little girl hands i still couldnt get to it easily.

You @ Inters mate, if so I can help you

Hi, thanks for the kind offer matey, we will be there tomorrow but I had a go at the bulbs this morning and managed to do them all in about 20 mins. The sidelights nearest the wing are a bit of a pain to release but plain sailing from there.

Headlamp bulbs were pretty painless too!
