Double chamber to single chamber the results (pics)
« on: 01 July 2012, 20:14 »
What would I need to change my gti headlights for the single chamber ones?
Is it that plug thing you can buy to fit vento lights or would I need to do some wiring?

They are plug & play but some plugs are square & some are oval :wink:

Ah so if the plug is diferant to mine I need to go scrappy and get plugs from a cl or something? I thought the gti's double chamber lights had diferant plugs to the single chamber ones.

If the plugs are different just pop out the plug (on the light) and swap your origionals over. Then cut and connect, all wires are colour coded between the plugs

Go halfords and get a box of connectors (£9 for a huge selection) rather than a fiver for about 5??!! Madness

Lower spec lights.
Emonnism was at my garage yesterday as I changed his rear wheel bearings for him and I noticed he had fly eyed his headlights wich on his 1.4 are single chamber. I have always liked the look of the single chamber headlights anyway more than the gti ones. But with the fly eye on aswell they looked really cool.
As he is joeying a set of gti lights at the moment I will be buying his fly eyed single chamber headlights off him.

I think that your going to have problems, wiring / circuit will be different plus your switching to much poorer headlamps in terms of light output.
