hi all,
a friend of mine has just got a mk3 gti and is stripping it down, he has the adjusting headlamps on it, with motor loom and the switch, thing is though its not working, the numbers, (1,2,3) do they ment to click into number or is it just a smooth roll from 1 to 3? also is there a fuse for them? as i realy want the motors for my lights
oh yeah before i forget, do the hella quads have a little clip where the motors mount onto, to adjust the angle of the beam?
thanks all
-
anyone??? :sad:
-
The 1,2, and 3 positions don't click into place Mate they just roll over each position. As for the lights I believe that there is an extra plug on each light that controls the motor. Therefore you would be easier off getting the lights off the car as well.
-
is there? i know someone on here did that to his anni, he didnt mention anything about headlights, ive seen the motor clip on my headlight im excited :smiley: i cant wait, sh!t my cars going to have lights that go up and down lols :grin: also do the hella twins have a clip for the motors?
-
Hella twins will not run the motors from memory.
-
who has hellas on there car? (alot of peopple) lol, could someone have a look and see if theres a clip for the motor to go in to adjust the lights

From memory, standard headlights have a inner lamp that moves, Hellas don't so cannot see anyway that you could use the motors.

wrong. hella twins have the correct fitting for motor adjustment

I am sure mine did not, how would that work then is it only the outer ones that have a place for the motor.

so they do have a place for the motors then? Wonder what its for? Its only the outer ones that need adjustment to counteract any weight you have in the rear so you dont blind anyone with your main beams. :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

So I will ask the question again, they are on spring loaded adjusters, how do you fit the motor then if the lamp is a sealed unit. :undecided:
-
looks like i know something that no one else does then. Anyone agree with me or not? No, okay then. :smug:

I agree to a point with you but I still cannot see how the motor setup would work when you look at Hellas against standard headlamps.
-
The hella lamp motor fitting is the one you pointed out. The motor plugs in there and tilts the lamp up and down by way of a twisting adjuster. It works a similar method for most adjusters.

Have you ever tried adjusting Hella twins?
The have a very fine thread, they take a while.
They are also stiff.
Most headlight adjusters including the MK3 have ones that push in and out, not twist.
If I'm wrong, I'll admit to it, if so, pictures?
-
:huh:
Standard headlights need twisting too Josho.
-
I have tried adjusting them you bellend. Yours are stiff? Try greasing em up. If I uploaded a pic you would still argue. Do you think I made it up? You'll admit if you are wrong? How big of you. Why argue if you dont know what you are on about Josh?
-
:huh:

Yes but if you look at a light with adjusters they pop in and out. ;)
Got one at work somewhere.
That's the thing Harlemax, I don't, hence I'm asking for the pictures because I am genuinely interested. :smiley:
-
no they don't, 1 of the 3 points do, the other 2 are screw type.

Do you have electronic adjusters?
-
no...
-
Khare is correct one of the adjusters is a pop fit, need I say more?
-
No replies? No arguements? Whats wrong I thought you lot love to tell me I know jack all. Cmon anyone else? Ill take the fecking lot of you on with this subject !!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Yeah, I am on your side bud, i meant ill take everyone else on besides you cos we are right on this one, and I will prove it if needed. How do you do those special faces by the way? (the clap one)
-
I walked into a spidery shed at this time of night just to prove you wrong. Had to kill 3 spiders on my way in, bellend.

^^ broken adjuster, but you can see the screw
(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh115/kharekatoh/IMAG0056.jpg)
and the 1 ball joint...
(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh115/kharekatoh/IMAG0057.jpg)
Now suck on it, b!tch.
-
They are my personal collection :tongue:
Interwebs has lots to choose from mate :smiley:
-
Congratulations. Why that's relevant I don't know.
Now go check on what adjusts your Hellas up and down. :wink:
If Harlemax doesnt want to share his electric Hellas then fine.
You can go to bed now.....
Just check there's no spiders underneath it. :wink:
-
Hellas are on the car, I'm not walking down my road with my balls hanging out that's for sure, have you seen how cold it is outside?
:laugh:
But in all seriousness, they are screw adjusted, although mine are so broken that I've turned to zip tie adjustment :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
I never said I had electric hellas.. so now I wont be goin to bed till you say your bellend has gone completely flacid due to having your doubt being proven wrong.
-
Just to clarify, I have hella twins, but mine are not motor driven.
-
Khare's photos help, the standard lamps have inner lamps that are on ball joints plus the motor to self level, they have an adjuster for setting the beam.
Hellas don't have a inner lamp so I am still struggling to see how you could use the motor and yet still be able to set the beam etc.
Thank you and goodnight. :rolleyes:

Struggle you may. Hella twins can be adjusted via motors. Fact. The op's question has now been answered.

Might be the drink but this thread is confusing as f**k. What you two betting about?
-
We are trying to figure out who is the biggest bellend. But I already know. :wink:
-
OK then mate.
How are you going to prove this? :rolleyes:
It must be some funky adjusters because stock highline-style MK3 adjusters would not work.
They go in and out, Hella's twist.
-

not sure what you mean by in and out. Is that the movement of the motor, or the fixing type?
-
Movement.
Fair play actually you may be onto something. I've just got a broken old one out as some guy on E38 needs a lenses. There is actually possibly a place for the motor HOWEVER part of the actual lamp is broken so I cannot tell. If anyone has a pic of the back of a Hella twin that would be great as it would be fully sick.
-
ive got a diagram pic but I dont know how to post it. :embarassed: :embarassed:

Really. whats pointless about a piece of information that nobody knew concerning their pretty lights? The above diagram should be posted somewhere for all hella twins guys to see.

I still think you're spouting crap just for the sake of fueling this bullsh!t thread further.

Why further it yourself then? The point is many said I was completely wrong about this, and I proved them wrong. Now no one says hey, thanx for clearing that up. All i get is tits like you who cant handle that I was correct. By the way I happen to think you spout loads of crap. Now jog on.
-
Hahaha the thing is nobody really cares apart from you.
-
Read the original post. Someone asked the question. I answered it. Why you furthering this thread. You dont like it cos I proved em all wrong. You thought it couldnt be done too didnt you. Tut tut.

Are you two calling me a twit. Thats abuse isnt it? First you tell me im full of sh!t with my idea of motorized hellas, then you call me twit cos i proved you wrong about it. Safety in numbers fellas? I think its clear who is really being a twit here.
-
f**k me, it was a simple question people tearing each other apart. what if there was a woman in the middle and you guys waas around her? i dare not to think about that :shocked: keep your kool hats on peoples!!!
peace&love!!! :grin:

You proved your point what more do you want.

-
also is there a fuse for the motors that adjust the headlights?
-
i think he got frustrated because no one believed him!
-
not sure about the fuse. But yeah kinda frustratin when everyone gangs up on you just cos you wanted to answer someones question from facts rather than ignorance.
-
i know, but it happens. but atleast you proved your point thanks mate :wink:
-
Cheers Sharki. :cool: Time to put this thread to bed now. zzzz
-
lol. longest thread that i started off :laugh:
-
Sweet, it's possible. :cool:
Just sold my Hella's though lol. :grin:
Ah well my doubting was wrong.
Congratulations.
-
OK im still confused after reading all 8 pages - some one clearly say in clear wording - is it possible to have motorised hellas as this could be a very helpful mod for me!

YES.
There is a place for them at the back. You twist out one of the adjusters then take a motor from a Golf MK3 headlight with adjusters and put that in.
However if you don't have the loom, it's possibly some work. The dash loom would need changing IIRC.
Nifty if you already have motorised lights though. :cool:
All became clear when I found an old one.
-
Cool cheers will have a look into this over the weekend
-
no fuse matey, or if there is, the golf already has it. i had no probs at least, dunno if year car would matter, mines 96 on a p reg
-
toopay: did you have to change the full loom from the switch to the lights or just connect it up in the engine bay??
-
Do the adjusters work if you swap to vento lights?
-
Do the adjusters work if you swap to vento lights?
Yes as some Vento headlamps have the motors.
-
just connected it all up from engine loom, didnt have to do anything within the dash
and yes the adjusters work with vento lights
-
Hahaha the thing is nobody really cares apart from you.
looks like you are wrong pal.
-
There seems to be a a little confused info about wiring. I dont know about vento lights, but I kinow for starters you need the correct headlamp switch with adjusters on it. There is an extra connector needed to go into this. As for the motors, you will need a light loom with them on(I think) similar to your usual loom that has the large multiplug above the radiator. You will not need a new dash loom if you have a gti or similar as the wiring already exists.
-
^^ correct
-
mine is an 8v gti anniversary so should just be plug and play??
-
yep :smiley:
-
so
Do you need anything else , as i have a set of hella's and i also have adjusters as standard ?
Im looking at the diagram as you need some sort of plastic caps for the ball on the motor ?
-
Just been out tonight and gave it a try...bad news, on the instructions on page 6 you need what looks like a extension for the motor arm to reach the lens as the original arm isn't long enough, f*ck only knows where you would get thaem parts :-((
-
Looks like it mate.
I would email/phone Hella. They are still about and may be able to assist.

I would tell you, but I will get told I am wrong, then called a tw@t for being correct (read the thread). Therefore I will keep it zipped.

no point unless you have the extention with the reducer ball on the end, or you butcher it together.

this switch below !! LOL

-
other than the switch i mean mate, and the motors and the loom, is their owt else i need to get these rocking in my twin headlamp as in my sig pic ?
-
You need an adaptor kit, that extends the length and also reduces the ball(as the one on the motors is to big)
-
Can u explain in more detail (if thats possible :laugh:) and also do u have pics
-
Read the thread, it's all there on page 6
-
i have done but its all arguing bla bla bollox lol :grin:
-
thread ressurection time here! I just got a set of hella quads today and had no idea what these plugs were for -
are those plugs on the left for electronic headlight adjustment? These are genuine Hella quads btw...
