Do these Vents have a LOOM? NOW WITH FITTED PIC
« on: 26 November 2010, 22:16 »
Hey guys, right i got myself a bargain tonight. Got some Bora Vents from a guy i met at a VW meet monday night. I got these at £25. Been waiting 2 months now for VW to get back to me as i'd been waiting on the drivers side vent to complete the set they have waiting for me so now ive got these im over the moon as i sold the last set i had.

The question is though.. Is this a LOOM that ya need for the Illumination on the vents that is on them? If so then great i guess it means its just a plug and go yeah? Let me know guys.

Pics below :

Damn, I thought i was lucky here having more than just wires lol. I am honestly clueless when it comes to Electrics etc. Joiners arent meant to play with wires Haha.

You can make your own or there are a few on ebay for £20 IIRC OR there is a member on here that can make them up for you.
You will have to take you under dash apart to fit them in and thread the wire from your light swich all the way to the other side of the car. Its a little involved but make for a nicer place come darknes  :smiley:.
When i did mine i went to a brakers and found a simler loom in a Audi A4 and addapted it for me. When i was there i also made up some foot well lights also  :wink: :grin:

Ive fitted them but havent bothered with the loom at the moment, maybe do that in the summer when its nice and warm and can do it without having to blast the heaters on while stripping bits out car to get em plugged in hahaha.
