Group Buy: Aftermarket Bixenon Headlights (WinPower Lamps)

[Eaglehawk]

I saw that damp thing happen when I first washed my Golf. It stopped doing it after the first wash. Monitor the situation I guess.

(It happened on the rear reverse lamp)

I think that condensation will settle after a few cycles of having the headlights on. I'd drive around with headlights on over a few days and see if it gets better

I'm having regrets for going with the cheaper postage as i had this weekend off and could have fit them! haha

But they've arrived in Sydney so i should get them this week! Anyone in sydney wanna do a group install or got a VAGCOM cable to activate the DRLs with the main beam on/?

Thanks!

Yes, I'd like to help with an install. I'm in Sydney and have a VCDS cable. PM me.

The GTI headlights is in!!!


It took me THREE FREAKING HOURS to buff out that scratch!!! Wash→super fine sand→wash→cut & polish(Meguiar's NXT Tech 2.0)→wipe→cut & polish→wipe→buff(Armor All Liquid Cut & Polish)→wipe clean→Plasti-Dip clear over coat and the result:



Side note: The metal plate that got snapped still couldn't be put back in but I re-used the original clip to hold the left headlight in place but the bolt just wouldn't budge and now it's sticking out a little bit, so come Monday I'll go in VW to see if they can get the damn thing in for me plus a replacement of the wiper blades(only had the car two months since new).

Someone from our group buy has a set that he's selling cos he upgraded his car to one that already came with xenons:
FS: Mk7 Golf WinPower OEM style xenon lights with DRLs

Wow! Nice Michael - good to see that you fixed it with good old elbow grease. They look great though!

Thanks mate! I like to take this opportunity to thank YouTube...... hahaha

At first I didn't wanna damage it even more but after searching for removing deep cut/scratch and watched a few how-to's I took a spoon full of concrete and had a go, lucky everything worked out great.

Out of curiosity: How hard is it for you guys to screw these two bolt down? What method did you guys use?

[veew]

Glad to hear you got it sorted Michael! Btw your red stripe lines up perfectly with the lights. Well hopefully I'll get mine tomorrow.
