downgrading lights
« on: 19 July 2012, 04:33 »
hi all,

i currently have rear leds and xenon headlights with the drls installed on my golf gti.
i am considering changing the headlights to normal halogen lights, and changing the rear lights to normal bulb lights.

i wanted to know if this would be a complex job of installing them then coding , or a simple plug and play

thanks

Reading through your previous posts, I'd guess your getting fed up with the retro fitted lights not working properly in your R lookalike.

It is possible to get them working, you just need to find someone that knows their way around the coding. There was mention of someone that had done this successfully in VW Driver a few months back. I'll look it out later.

If I was you, I'd stick with the lights. If you swap back to halogens, the car will look even more of a fake than it already is.

You have your own style i'll give you that! Making a GT look like an R then making a GTI look like a GT.... Nuts! :evil:
