Hi The Frog,TheFrog wrote:Brought it home yesterday and spent most of this morning 'OEM Plussing' it. Very impressed so far, though only done 20km. Smooth, comfortable, safe... light years away from the Up I've been driving for the past year![]()
The weather is pretty bad here at the moment, so the car's staying in the garage next to my summer toy. I will get some better pictures up later.
Work carried out so far:
- partial debadge (just left 'Polo' on the rear)
- LED rear indicators & DRLs
- 10mm H&R rear spacers - definitely needs these, the wheels look pushed in otherwise
- full wax with Pinnacle Souveran
I forgot to post the photos I took during the DRL bulb conversion. It's hard to take pictures of the actual bulbs when they're on, because the camera is dazzled by the light and you can't really tell the difference between the original 'yellow' bulb and the bright white LEDs. This photo shows the two types of bulb against my white garage door. I'll let you decide which is the LEDCrypticG wrote:Hi The Frog,
Can you link me to the LED rear indicators and DRLs? Also the 10mm spacers. Thanks
Perfect mate, thank you very much! What is the LED DRL like to look at? Is it very very bright, i want it to look good but not have a effect that some HIDs do where they look stupidly bright and dazzle everyone ha!TheFrog wrote:I forgot to post the photos I took during the DRL bulb conversion.

The LED bulb is less blue in person than it looks on this photo, it appears pure white to the eye.
I bought them on Ciclo's advice and am not disappointed.
DRLs: http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/382-p21w-w ... anbus-led/
Excellent service from these people. One of the bulbs they sent was faulty, so I emailed them and they sent 2 more packets of 2 bulbs immediately, so I now have 3 spares

Spacers these are what the spacers look like,

but I actually ordered mine from http://www.autoteileman.de as they offered the longer black bolts with 2 security bolts and key.
Hope this helps.
The LED DRL is very bright, but no more 'painful' to look at close up than the standard bulb. I went with the 60W version, but they do an identical 30W if you're unsure. I will see if I get flashed with the 60W and maybe downgrade to a 30W.CrypticG wrote:Perfect mate, thank you very much! What is the LED DRL like to look at?

What was it like to take the panel off the DRL housing? I have given it a try lightly but it feels like i am forcing it off? Where does the tool go? sorry for the inexperience..
Thank you my friend! Please let us know, how the 60W goes in regards to getting flashed haha!
