Converting bulbs for europe mk3?
« on: 09 July 2011, 16:54 »
Hi i need to know step by step conversion of uk to europe headlights. Supposedly there is some lever that i need to push up. I've taken the cap off the back of the headlight but no real luck finding this lever or i may not be able to reach it. I would aporeciate any help for a 1996vw golf.

Plus doed anyone know if the bulbs are h4 or h1?


Thanks,


Tom

I found the page in the manual. Just stick masking tape over the msrked areas on the lamps. Total estimated cost 2pence includimg labour. Loved drivong in germany as got up to 120mph going downhill and car is solid. Stopped at wolfsburg off of auto 2 to take a look. Then drove on some roads thar were built during the Hitler era in present day Poland.  Drove in lithuania, latvia as well.

Amazing roads in Germany, and Holland.
Come on uk government fix our roads! The Germans lost the war and still have better roads.

No excuses! We deserve better! I want concrete superhighways! Even the roads in Poland are better than ours! Where is our road tax money being spent?

Bummmer how bad the roads in Berkshire and Surrey are getting.

I wish our government loved our roads as much as they love our Banks!

Could give all those unemployed people jobs and no one would complain!


Groan! Gotta change the suspension more often. The road tax should be included in the price of petrol. Then everyone who fills up in the uk pays for the roads, no matter where your car is from!

Come on government! Make british roads the best in europe!

Just a delusional dream....
