awww... piece of p*** to install.

BUT!!!!!! use any silicon gell from halfords that is water tight!!!!

you dont want, what happened to me!!! Water leaked threw the back lights and killed the central locking pump!!! (and they arent cheap.) So be aware you need them water tight or you might find your central locking dissapearing!

wahoo!!!! more people with these lights. only i have silver ones.... the only prob i had was i have them on my mk5 so i had to change some wires round. other then that. no sealing needed and no problem.

mine came this morning.
so i should get them on later.

they did come with a rubber seel theough, dunno if thats good enough.

will have to wait and see.

if you dont mind me asking, how much you pay for yours?

they don't seem to fit

they seem to be for a mk5 or newer, but the people said they are deff for a mk4.

well s**t

i've got mine on they work fine..

BUT..

in reverse the brake light comes on.

and only the top row of brake lights come on when i brake.

i suppose i'll need to change the wires?

anyone know which will need changing?

cheers

When i brake only the top two lines of l.e.d's work.

If i put the car into revers the white reverse light works.

And if i put the fogs on the bottom two lines of L.E.D's show up. However only on the right hand side (or possibly left..but only one side)

What i havent got around to, but will do.. is hook a wire from the fog light on the right hand side to the left hand side... same with the reverse light.

Thus when i put the fogs on.. both lines of L.E.D's at the bottom will show up. Instead of only one side.

However be carefuly when playing around with the electircs because if they screw up your looking at alot of harrasment by the police and maybe an expensive cost at a garage- changing it all back.

Keep it as simple as possible as something is bound to go wrong.
