I was only talking last week about buying a Kart. I told her it was a cheap hobby for me, unlike the GTI...

You should buy a Kart. A lot of fun! Can make it as expensive or as cheap as you want. I use the word "cheap" loosely!

I use that term loosely as well... along with the term "relatively". Ie. Darling, the GTI is relatively cheap compared to the... ;-)

Let us know how your Bulbs go when they arrive!

OK... R Dash lights arrived this morning (in a record 5 days... including a weekend!).

Question to those who have installed them... what did you install the Resistor Box to? Did you attach it to the cables or to the light unit... or something else?

So in the pack - you'll have the resistor box, a Y cable, and the LED lights.

One end of the Y cable goes into your VW power socket (where the OEM lights were plugged into). Then the Y splits into the resistor box, and the LED lights themselves.

I then just pushed the whole lot up into the cavity of the bumper, and clicked the LED lights in place.

I thought asked and answered. Such a worry wart. The real chopper would have said "harden the f up". ;-)

I was just worried about the "Resistor Box" floating around in the rear bumper... I assume it gets hot, and I am worried about it doing some damage!

Smartarse... :-)

Yes... you did answer, but I assumed it would be "Obvious" where the Resistor Box goes (and I was hoping for a diagram with the package on how to install!)... and it's not, well not to me anyways! :facepalm:

I'll just install them... and see how I go! What can go wrong, right?!

BOOM! There goes the hatch! :)

Smartarse No. 2! :-)

Everyone is funny today...

Lights installed!!! It was rather easy... don't know what you were all so worried about!

I must say... they look FANTASTIC! :-) Definitely not too bright... I'm not even going to contemplate the OEM ones!

My Globes that I ordered 2 weeks ago from the UK STILL haven't arrived! Have to find another use for them now...
