I'd just buy premium versions of Osram or Phillips quoting +150% etc extra output.

You can buy matching side light bulbs, they will probably look blue but when switched on match the upgraded main and dipped beam bulbs.

I don't think that any LED bulb assemblies are legal for main beam or dipped ...

My 9n3's left sidelight has stopped working and this gives me an opportunity to upgrade my headlight bulbs.

My questions is, I presume the original lights are halogen bulbs because they're yellow and grim. Can I just change the bulbs to LEDs or Xenon lights or do I have to replace the whole ...

I did this a few years ago but I cant remember 100% exactly what wire is which.

The 9N3 doesn't have a switched power cable to the radio that provides constant power when the ignition/accessory is on as far as I know. You'll possibly need a canbus emulator (£10 or so) if you don't already have ...

I've been told this but i don't get what im meant to do exactly. Do i need anything else or do i simply just connect it to something?

the red and yellow are the live feed wires but i dont get it

Hello guys, i bought a new head unit today and i connected everything up but no power. Took it to halfords and they said i need to connect a live power feed but they wanted 170 for the job. I wanna do this myself so what do i need to do this.

Recently, i removed my RCD200 stereo because a friend of mine accidentally got some drink over it and for some reason it then shorted out and was draining my battery. I want to get a new headunit but there's some things i want to iron out before making a purchase.

Firstly, i haven't plugged the ...

Fixed it, removed the radio and car works fine now just without any sound at the moment.

Also, i apologise for posting here car i think is a 9N but i just read the years and posted in the corresponding year since my car is a 2009 polo. Thanks for the help.

fixed it - removed the radio and car works fine now

so i tried locating the fuse today but i couldn't figure out which one it was. If anyone can help with that i linked a picture above

so i checked out the fuse box by the drivers side and well i found this. I have no idea which fuse to take out

also i wanna take the radio out completely but i don't have the right tools for it. Any other way i could take it out?

I tried looking at the diagram but i can't figure out which fuse is for the radio? Can someone point me to which one it is thank you?

Look at this topic for fuse location

If you remove the fuse for a certain component ( example radio) - it will cut the power going to it.
Meaning if you disable the take the fuse for radio, and radio turns off. And 24h later, your battery is still ...

where would the fuse for the radio be and what will this do if i may ask? I'm very new to this so i barely have any idea. Thank you for replying though.

So, i recently bought a 1.2 2009 Polo MATCH and it was fine for about 2 months but recently if i leave the car for more than a day it completely dies. When the key goes in, nothing. The problems i saw were - the mileage and clock stay on, the central locking seems to have a problem and the radio ...
