Headlights - Discussion and Questions

**point** · 06-07-2014, 06:40 PM

Hey guys,

I'm also very interested in a set of replica Xenons for my comfortline as the stock headlights dont cut it. Count me in 100% for a group buy.

I'm 100% in for the front headlights, I'm also interested in the L.E.D. tail lights conversion too.

Has anyone priced LED tail light conversions? I haven't spotted any replicas but surely someone's made replica MK7 LED tails...

Hey mate just made my account, and I'm still keen to get some of these lights! I'll bookmark this thread to keep an eye on how everything goes

Just updated the installation section which is useful when watching the referenced video. Cleaned up the thread a bit as I was exceeding the word count, wanted to keep everything in the one post.

I haven't seen reps yet but follow this thread for installation when you get around to it.

It's good to see the numbers for the GB so far. The installation also doesn't seem too difficult either.

I we should do a new thread dedicated to the group buy for exposure etc?

I've PM'd all the relevant people who were looking at ways to improve headlights over the VWW, VWGolf and Mk7Golf forums, I don't think having a separate forum would be necessary. I'm still waiting on some more details regarding these headlights as there is some conflicting information (eg. Why there are the differences between the number of illuminated DRL U's in the two V2 videos). I still want to get more pictures or videos of the performance of these WP lamps from those who've installed these, it would be tragic if we organised a GB and ended up wasting a few hundred bucks.

I'll post up a separate GB thread when we have nailed down all the fine details and have close to adequate numbers. Any additional EOIs should go through that.

Hey Andrew. As per your request, here is my official EOI.

Keen on V2 (non GTI) with 5000k xenons.

Cheers mate, I have been in close contact with 2 of the Brazilian guys who have been a wealth of information. I've joined the Brazilian forum and have collected more pictures and videos of their installation and results. I'm still nutting out the final fine details with WPlamps contact Mark. I will have a new thread about WPlamps that will lead onto the GB but in the meantime I will continue to update post 88 in this thread.

For those interested in going through the Brazilian forum Entrar - forum.VWGolfClub.com. Use Google Translate to translate their site, it works quite well. Go to Forums --> Aesthetic changes (under Mec a nica which should translate to mechanical) --> Lighthouse replica MK7 Golf (Group Buy). The pages worth looking at are 1, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Edit:
The formal EOI and GB page is up: http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...ml#post1069636

Also for those who have already placed an EOI, just confirm which version and bulb temperature. For those with GTi's I assumed you would want the GTi version but I'd like you to confirm that is the case.
