Bulbs in the Jetta

[ziggyboy]

Which ebay seller is this is you don't mind me asking?

And how straightforward is it to change the bulbs on the Jetta? Is there a guide online?

I got the H7 and fogs from the same seller.
H7 -> eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d
Fog -> eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d
LED DRL -> eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d

I'm not really handy guy at all, so I got some assistance with changing them. It was really easy for him, 15 minute job all round.
The DRL seems to be the hardest if you have large hands (particularly on the passenger's side).

Thanks. I'm going to order H7 bulbs.

Would you recommend replacing the DRL? Does it make a huge difference in looks??

It sure does! Looks way better than a stock yellow halogen bulbs. But I think the temp on the LED DRL is a bit too high. I think they're 6500k. 5000k is probably the perfect temp. Not sure if you can find them

I bought ones with 40 SMD LED's (vs 44 in yours) so it will be slightly cooler.

Also, did you replace all 4 H7 headlight/high beam bulbs? Are these available in Autobarn or SuperCheapAuto? Wondering if they're much more expensive there...

I don't think the amount of SMD matters with regards to the colour temp. Probably just slightly dimmer? I could be wrong though..

Only replaced the low beams. Hardly ever use high beam, didn't wanna waste the money.

Yeah you can find the Philips bulb at Super cheap auto. I was there 2 weeks ago. They're about $70-80, IIRC.

By the way I bought T10 LED's for the parking lights, and for the back license plate lights

Hey guys it seems my Canbus plate lights from eBay aren't Canbus at all. I'm getting errors.

Genuine Philips 4300k working great though.

I got an error for my license plate as well but I've ordered another bulk of LEDs. I hope one of them will work! The current ones are a bit too dim anyway.

Will report back with the updated bulbs.

There's an Aussie seller selling Canbus LED's for just under $10 delivered. Might give him a go....
