S6 style LEDs?

Post by Joz »

Been looking at these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-Tagfahrlich ... 56435f11e4

What do you think..? Will it look chavy? They are kinda expensive, but I figure this is better than placing just a LED strip in the grille. I've tried this, and it was a pain in the back really.. Got fu**ed too, cus it was so cold even tho it was flexible, it broke when I bent it xD

Any cheaper sites selling these?

Yeeh, I'm a bit worried too :P

Think I'll forget about it, maybe get projector headlights instead :)

I seem to remember reading that the front bumper needs to come off to get the headlights out mate. Might be possible with the bumper partially removed as well... would be easier with the bumper off though.

hello joz,

i would recommend you to remove the whole bumper, it will make life a lot easier taking the headlamp off.

3 screws hold the headlamp into place, one at top and both sides. they require multi spline tools, not sure what size. you can see the top ones when you the front bonnet.

when the 3 screws come out, there is a hefty plug behind the assembly that needs unplugging. and you're done.

LOL!

Called my workshop just to check what the price would be if I needed any help.. For simply mounting the headlamps, when I already have bought them, is 270 £ !!!!!!!!!!

I think you pretty much have to take the bumper off to get to the bottom headlight screw

I took my bumper off when I put my projectors in, whole job took about 2 hours.. theres loads of torx screws that hold that damn bumper on! :/

I used the same "guide", you need to follow it from BUMPER REMOVAL and do the first 12 steps
