mk1 and mk2 Headlamp Wiring upgrade...this is a MUST!

[Peter Jones]

I have no idea what that guy just said.

That's because he's a spammer. The diagram is actually plausible though and the text is just so funny that I'm inclined to leave it there.

I've removed the link to his website to comply with our advertising rules and for everyone's safety.

Will the upgrade shown in the first post, just upgrade the low beam, or the high beam lights as well?

I'm planning on doing this mod tomorrow, all being well.

i think my one just does low beam....but the diagram posted below will do both (i am sure mr jones will correct me if i am wrong lol)

Heres the diagram i followed and got great results.



You can also use 4 relays instead of 2 realys. One pair of relays for driving lights and the other pair for the high beams, regardless if you have a double or single light grill set up.



This pic might also help:


If you are going to install a HID kit in to you mk1 or mk2 you MUST do the upgrade.

I've also done the upgrade with great results on light output and voltage.

For the 2 relay upgrade will all the wires and fuze holder it will cost about $20-25 for Jaycar and 4 realy upgrade is aditional ~$10.
