Well; lights are in, and the bulb upgrade seems to have worked fine. Problem, I’m running into though is the bank of DRL‘s on the right side headlight don’t come on. For whatever reason, the plug on the back of the headlight to the car seems to be inverted that the release tab is up against the...

Sorry; you were correct. I looked closer at your initial bulb pic & saw the two-piece adapters & figured it out. Got the new bulbs in new ballasts on & new harnesses between the two (thought the ballast end had a 90 degree I wasn't anticipating). Just need some dry weather to install 'em and...

I ran across mine on Facebook marketplace of all places. Guy was parting some goodies out off his car, and the two jewels were a set of these lights along with one of the VW Helix subwoofers. I have seen them on eBay though. That was going to be my path until I did find these. following along...

Having recently acquired a set of these headlights & I’m in the process of upgrading bulbs/ballasts, I have a question. Am I able to reuse the existing cables or will I need to source a set to fit the new bulbs & ballasts?

No; he and I are very familiar with one another. Had him set up the pre-out on my unit. He was not comfortable with doing the LEDs since he had nothing there to compare color temperature to. Was hoping for someone who had already done this for a VW since they would have a better idea of exactly...

Zombie thread indeed. Just installed what I assume is the same deck in my Mk3 (his photos aren’t showing up for me) but mine looks like this. Only problem is my display lights up in red. I was interested in this Chubbs Auto that was mentioned by OP and info on the changing of the illumination...

Got mine off eBay if memory serves. Used this thread for install info...

Girlfriend's '12 3.6 SE had the backlit switches & everything still worked after swapped in the '15 GLI wheel.

Are you talking about that Homelink/auto-dim/compass model they recently came out with? That should've come with a harness that runs down to the headlight switch (though I did cut mine off & run it to the domelight assy. on my Mk3).

There was a procedure like that. I made one to load my discs, then loaned it to a guy who never got it back to me. Not sure what version discs you're planning on using but iirc, the latest updates from NavTeq no longer requires that extra step. Of course, the latest updates are quite a few years...

For the record; that driver's side switchpack will interchange between any (4-door) MkIV Golf, MkIV Jetta or B5/5.5 Passat.

True. Since I didn't have to increase the diameter of my rotors, I'd say mine was about 50/50 bling to bang. Of course, getting the calipers for $100 didn't hurt any.

I'm running these on my 20th and they fit like a charm. Of course, my knuckles had bolted-on carriers, but other than that... :rolleyes: http://www.purems.com/Products/BS002.PURE-Motorsport-Boxster-Caliper-Brackets

Well, I guess it's time to fix my leak... Thank you citizen of Oakland. Came out after seeing Kraftwerk (amazing show btw!) to find this awaiting. Nothing taken, and I was one of about 7 or 8 cars that were hit. Cold drive home. Thankfully, I was able to get some bodyshop sealing sheet over...

Fwiw, I'm running a set of Boxster calipers on my '03 20th using brackets I sourced from PureMS.

And yes; my DSP amp still works. Currently, I need to get the FIS display in my cluster swapped to it'll be worth it to finish up my TMC box & harness install. Alphabet soup I tell's ya.

I started out using some of the old VW accessory speakers (p/n 1J0-051-608-A) from way back when, then when one of those blew, I was sourced a pair of the proper ones once I was given the correct p/n's.

That sounds like the most logical option. I know that the Dynamat's weight will probably make it droop when heated over time. Might have to look into your suggestion when I pull mine to fix a dent.

Do I count? << :cool:

Bumped back from the grave: I was (finally!) ordering a replacement set for my navi last week & was politely told by the Navteq rep that the 7B discs for the earlier Touaregs have come to the end of the road, so to speak. The last update seems to be 2010 & there don't seem to be any further...
