Daytime driving lights.

[GTI Leo]

Hi guys recently bought a VW Polo Gti, car is great no complaints.
However and yes it sounds silly, i have no idea how to keep my lights off during the day.
Start the car up and they are fully on, only thing i can do is only leave me parkers on.

I'm assuming these have to do with day time driving lights,
(I didn't get the daytime led's option included)
so how can i turn them off???


:facepalm:

[gavs]

Hey Leo, yours wouldn't happen to be a red 3 door that would have been driving up the highway towards dandenong from hastings way on last sunday would it?

Anyway, your headlight switch is on the right hand side of your instruments, maybe turn that to off? If indeed you do have it set to off, head back to the dealer:)

[flyingfridge]

Nope Polo GTI always has lights on. it's a new VW thing that they're rolling out across the range. as you've mentioned if you turn your lights to parkers, you'll actually have less headlight than when they're 'off'. afaik, that's all you can do.

[JaneAusten]

Check the manual, I have the 6R GTI and it's just something you do with the indicators IIRC from the owner's manual. It's down stairs and I cbf going down. Lol, sorry, maybe later.

[pologti18t]

Have you gone through the MFD options?

[JaneAusten]

It's not in the MFD, trust me the manual says something about it, I'll check after dinner, but surely you have a copy too if you have the car.

[GTI Leo]

Hi Gavs, nah sorry mate wasn't me, must be someone else with their lights off.

Hi Jane yeah went through the book again and there is a way to switch them off.
Something about holding the indicator handle down and back and the headlight icon should flash thus turning off the daytime lights.
Not sure what I am doing wrong, i can't seem to turnm them off.
Going to try again tomorrow, hopefully i'm just doing something wrong.

[JaneAusten]

Yeah mate I just checked, pg. 93. I tried "method 2" as well and can't seem to get it working. This is some voodoo.

[JaneAusten]

Btw, another GTI owner, congrats!

:facepalm:

For my Golf GTI, to turn them off (from memory)
Pull indicator stalk down and then towards steering wheel, hold till you hear a beep,
Turn ignition on for 3 seconds then off again, sounds like same thing with the Polo from what Jane Austin said, see if this works :-)

You learn something new everyday! Mine will have the DRLs anyway so I will constantly have lights on regardless. When the car gets here....

[GTI Leo]

Thanks GTI mk6, for this info. Not sure what i was doing wrong but i can't seem to get them off.
Have tried every combination possible including car on/of, keys in/out of ignition.
I have no idea how to turn these off, looks like i'll have to take it back to the dealer to get them turned off.

Thanks anyway everyone.

[GTI Leo]

So took the car back to the dealer for an unrelated problem (electric mirror switch was faulty), and the guys at the service dept advised me that the daytime driving lights cannot be turned off on a Polo Gti.
Can't even take out a fuse because that will render all lights useless.

Still seems stupid to me that there is no way these can be turned off.
Oh well.

Daytime running lights on cars become mandatory in Europe | Car Advice | Reviews (http://www.caradvice.com.au/103267/daytime-running-lights-on-cars-become-mandatory-in-europe/)

[Umai Naa!!]

It's a proven safety feature, and ALL new cars should have it.

I've made a habit of turning the headlights on in my personal cars when I hop in, as they're not DRL-equipped.

[Ralfi]

I don't see what the big deal is with having them come on automatically?

One less thing to think about as light disappears or driving through tunnels..

...Love this feature on my work van.

[brad]

why would you want the lights off?

i've avoided so many accidents from having my lights on the past 2 years.

Stupid wife has the same system as mine & dark burgundy paint (that has never been polished & gets washed when it rains) & drives with headlights off & complains about people pulling out in front of her, etc. Rarely happens to me.

[pologti18t]

Actually, the current studies seem to suggest that DRLs have little effect in countries like Australia.

Yeah but they look cool :cool:

[Umai Naa!!]

Yes, and that's purely because the majority of Australian road users drive with their head lodged firmly in their backsides.

[GTI JOE]

Ooochh!, yeah they are blingy, but I agree with others, they do look cool, especially on the Polo GTI. And yes, I have ordered them on mine, so I am biased:)

[yas786]

I couldnt figure out why you would need the lights on during the day. But after reading a few comments as to the benefits of having the DDL I might just leave them as is, or stop trying to turn them off (Black GTi).

[brad]

Seems to work for me. Service place always turns my lights off & I don't check they are on until some bugger tries to take my place on the M5.

It sounds crazy, I know. But the idea is to make others aware of your existance on the road by virtue of using you lights. Hence why non-illuminated cars seem to jump out of nowhere in fog/heavy rain/dusk. More fool them, I say.

[GTI Leo]

I didn't really see the point to begin with about the headlights being always on.
After reading all these comments and that article it all makes sense and doesn't bother me anymore.
I wish now I got the led daytime lights have seen them around and they do look pretty good.

Silly question but can the led's & xenon lights be installed aftermarket, or do they have to be factory fitted?

[GTI JOE]

Factory fitted, although their maybe 3rd part companies that do make similar headlight assemblies, mainly in Europe. Also check out Ebay from time to time.

[GraveDilute]

Guys,

I didn't check when I test drove the GTI but does the dash also backlight too? I always stuggle with reading the speedo etc with sunglasses on.

What's visibility like?

Not whilst the light switch is turned to the "O" position. My wife drove the car the other not realising she had to turn the headlight switch to on as it looked like the lights were on. She drove thinking the dash lights were not working!

[Polo GTI Driver]

I have just purchased a new Polo GTI. The main headlights cannot be turned off, despite what it says in the manual. I have taken it back to the dealer and they have said they have no idea why they are on full all the time. So much for the dealer. This is not really satisfactory. It would be Ok if it was only the parkers on all the time but it isn't , it is the main headlights.

Besides that issue, absolutely great car.

it sounds like you have the Scandinavian DRLs (dipped headlights, sidelights, tail lights and number plate lights on no matter what the switch setting) activated - possibly VW now refer to them as PRLs (Permanent Running Lights). They can definately be turned off with VCDS (an adaption rather than a coding IIRC). I assume the dealer scan tool can do it as well if you know where to look.

you could also try this:
With the headlight switch off, move the turn signal stalk down (signal left). Then pull the stalk towards you to flash the lights. Cycle the key on and wait for the ding.

To reactivate the DRL, move the turn signal stalk up (signal right). Then pull the stalk towards you to flash the lights. Cycle the key on and wait for the ding.

my dumb question: Why would you not want PRLs?

[gavs]

Most likely the wrong software setting has been loaded into the car and pre-delivery hasn't changed it, like in mine with the climatronic. I too don't understand why people want lights they can't see, that consume next to no power, turned off that are intended as a safety feature so some flog in a commodore can see you more easily when acting like a tool....

[Lieto]

Its kinda silly but how do you TURN IT ON?
I have 1.4FSI polo 2010 and i want to turn it on. Local dealer said that its only possible on gold and not on polo. At least not in my country. Can it be true? I mean is it something country-specific?

And another fast question (sorry to derail the thread) — is there a way to child-lock the doors? There is a lock on my drivers front door but it only permits access from outside the car and doesnt block doors from inside.

[brad]

Use VCDS to turn it on.

Childproof locks? Should be in your manual. look for a 15mm round dot near the back door locks that you can turn with a coin.
There are no childproof locks on the front doors. If your kid is off an age where they don't know the dangers of playing with the door handles then they are too small for the front seat.

Actually, the slot is kind of square - not so easy to fit a coin into. The car KEY however, is a perfect fit. (Nice touch, I thought).
All explained in the manual.

fair enough. I was basing mine on a 5 second look as I got my bag out of the back of the Skoda in a badly lit carpark. Figured all VAG stuff would be fairly similar.

[RoknRob]

No sweat, Brad - I actually use mine - was one of the first things I did when I got the car.

Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of a rear facing seat - my little one just out grew it when we got the Polo. 2 front facing seats in the car, instead.

[GTIPolo6R]

Just noticed by accident while my 19 month old son was playing around with the steering wheel, that with the ignition off, if you activate the indicator stalk (either direction), the corresponding LED DRL and rear tail light switches on. Not sure what the purpose of this function is, maybe to act as position lights for when you are parked on the side of the road so that others can see you? If you open the door while the lights are still on, an audible alarm comes on, to warn you that the lights are still on.

Wonder if this function is only on the LED DRL equiped cars or if it's on the standard DRL equiped cars as well?

An interesting but somewhat useless function if you asked me...would have preffered coming/leaving home lights instead.

It's a standard feature on all European cars. It's called parking lights. If you park your car on the street you can flick the indicator stalk and illuminate the side of the car exposed to passing traffic, without overly draining the battery.

[brad]

Mate, i'm sure the nipper keeps you pretty busy but try & take some time to read the manual. All those features are in there - lots of things to surprise & delight.

As 77kw polo tsi said, it's a standard Euro car thing. Comes in handy when there are no street lights, single lane road & you're half parked on the footpath & it's fogging over.

Coming/leaving home lights - can they be activated via vcds?

[GTIPolo6R]

Haha thanks guys...I should have read the manual more thoroughly.

Coming/leaving lights can be switched thru vcds but apparently may need extra modules.

[PoloDave]

coming home is possible through VCDS but you still need to tap the high beam stalk for it to activate. Leaving home is not possible without modules

[tay113]

I have being to the VW tech workshop and it seems they are aware of this issue and have to wait for a software from VW(germany)plus isolating one of the pins on the back switch.So happy waiting and no more guess work that really drives me nuts.cheers tay

[vw74]

I have been driving my Polo TSI built 10/02/12 for a week now; yes, I have tried the [Method 2 - indicator stalk] thing without success, soooo that's it, it's back to VW and some software update? Next one ... how do you 'MUTE' radio without getting the voice menu? I really just want the 'MUTE' as in Golf with * button. Thanks POLO fans!

[Lock & Load]

Having the lights on all the time may be a safety feature but driving around with them on all the time in Sunny Goldcoast you feel like a tool , surely we should have the option left at our discretion

[Bassik]

I too just bought a Polo GTi and noticed that the lights are on full time. I think it's a great idea it's also a great incentive to replace the globes with LED's. I should be able to do this easily right?

With "one" of these bad boys

Edit

I've made the changes and looks great. A lot better then the horrible yellowish Parker's but now I have an amber light coming up in my speedo reading.

[PoloDave]

any pics?
Dash light comes on because of the lesser resistance of the LED's. Can be turned off with vag-com in 2 minutes

Vag-com (or vcds) is basically a computer program to allow somone to make changes in the Polo's computer (like enabling/disabling lightbulb check, and many more things)

[JonW]

buy the cable or visit the dealer...

lights look good, which bulbs did you need from that site?

Didn't actually buy from there I got from for Supercheap and got some more coming off eBay. Just search for T10 globes there's heaps, getting the license plate one done as soon as it comes in mail as well as all interior ones.

[MJKooLio]

I hate the auto lights as having to follow people, I'll be easily recognized as I'll have my lights on when I'm driving!! But other then that, happy that people can notice me on the roads behind them or at intersections as if they weren't on they wouldn't have seen me!!!

[Bassik]

You mention "auto lights" I don't know how this works? I've had the car for over a week now and for the life of me can not work out how the light switches work. Not to mention the manual sucks at describing it too

Nice however doesn't it look awkward when you turn on your lights for night driving? (main headlight would be a different colour to the low beam light).

If you can take another photo with your full lights on that would be appreciated as i'm looking for low beam globes :)

Yeah I need to order them and install them still this was just a test to see if they work. I think the daytime lights aren't these. These LED's are on permanently and can't be turned off the low bean lights however can.

Well you can be the guinea pig for the lights, when they arrive and you install them post a photo of them as to help the rest of us polo coolers to make a decision.

Don't stress I was a guinea pig for the Polo ABT centre exhaust/diffuser now my car is a blurt-o-tron.

Wondering whether to get 5000 kelvin Osrams, Diamond Vision 5000 kelvins or the Philips Crystal Vision 4300 kelvins.

Suggestions? wondering if it will go well with the parkers that i had linked just before (in terms of colour match and vision).

Just recently returned from germany......Its pretty much standard for all new cars over there now....the germans aren't happy about it seeing as now they have to replace bulbs more often haha....but least ure staying safe!

Are you referring to the DV, or the Philips CV? :P

[PoloDave]

I would go for the Osram Nightbreaker Plus, very polular over here for its white light :)

http://www.hidkitsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/osram-night-breaker-plus.jpg

[gavs]

I would go the Osrams or if you can find them, the IPF globes. Don't get anything higher than 4500K in colour because even at 4500K you have a severe drop off in penetration, the more yellow the light, the greater the penetration of light, hence why road markings above the snow line are yellow, the yellow penetrates through fog etc so you can see the lines.

[Hail22]

Would the nightbreaker plus compliment or go well with Volkswagen Polo 6R 2009+ Error Free Side Light Bulbs LED | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Volkswagen-Polo-6R-2009-Error-Free-Side-Light-Bulbs-LED-/110846849889?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19cefcb361)

[PoloDave]

Pics availably are all phone quality so not really usefull.. One of the members has the Phillips Diamond Vision and says they are even whiter than the Osrams and come pretty close to the LED's he has in his parking light

[Diesel_vert]

So far, I've counted five different versions of daytime running lights for the 6R Polo.


Daytime running lights in the fog lamp housing:

1. Fog light + optional static cornering light (H8 35W bulb) and DRL (P21W bulb).

1a. Fog light + optional static cornering light (H8 35W bulb) and no DRL.

2. DRL (P21W bulb) with no fog light.


Daytime running lights in the main headlamp housing:

3. Dipped beam DRL (H7 55W bulb).

4. Gas-discharge headlights with integrated DRL (LED modules).


Daytime running lights above the fog lamp housing (VW genuine retrofit):

5. LED-Tagfahrlicht fur den Polo (http://www.volkswagen.de/de/models/polo/polo-news/led-tagfahrlicht-fuer_den_polo.html). Part number is 6R0052190.

[Bassik]

Ohhhh... How do you get those last LEDs you mentioned?

Doesn't the Polo have H4 globes as well think I read in manual somewhere?

[Diesel_vert]

(Shrugs shoulders...) contact the dealer? Google the part number?

Ah yes, forgot about that.
Polos with a single headlight use a twin filament H4 60/55W bulb, those with dual headlights use a pair of H7 55W bulbs.

[PoloDave]

Don't know if you have the 1.2 TDI over there, but many over here have found out that ECU versions 88A and 88B are extremely sensitive for canbus light errors. Still not a big deal, easy to disable with vcds.

Don't know if VW has put these ECU's in more TDI's though

[Hail22]

Think I may do a full Nightbreaker plus upgrade with the ebay link led side light i linked earlier.

Diamond vision are good, however first are illegal. Second heard a lot of mixed thoughts of performance/brightness of the product.

plus vs price the Osram full set is cheaper than buying only two sets of DV lights (fogs, side, low beam, high beam.)

[Bassik]

The Phillips H7 also come with a pair of the W5W mini globes to, that is why I'm going Phillips plus they are cheaper.





Ah yes, forgot about that.
Polos with a single headlight use a twin filament H4 60/55W bulb, those with dual headlights use a pair of H7 55W bulbs.

How do I know what globes I need? From memory I have a total of 10 globe's including indicator lights just at the front alone.

Indicator lights
Fog lights
Daylight lights (W5W)
Low beam lights ????
High beam lights ????
X2

The daylights also seem to be the low beam lights. I am very confused when it comes to lights on the car. You can't imagine how difficult it's been knowing what lights are on and off at all times of the day...???

One question, there is no auto setting on these Polo's is that correct? I was told from a friend (Golf owner) there is an auto setting and he just leaves it on that all the time. This isn't the case with us Polo owners???

[Diesel_vert]

Depending on the model, it's either one H4 bulb (low + high beam) or two H7 bulbs (one for low beam, one for high beam) per side.

The W5W bulb is for the side/park lights. If they come on together with the low beam, then they are used as DRL as well.

The auto function is present only if your car is fitted with a light sensor.

[Hail22]

Side light illuminates with low beam, there is a VCDs code in order to have it auto as soon as the car is on. However I cannot find the code as of yet.

So really...i'm getting confused.

One Dealer says get philips Diamond Vision x 4 (two for low beam, two for high beam) with the LED parker I have found.

Then another says with the LEDs I want to buy to go for this eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11051.m43.l1123/7?euid=a9ea9222c1d24d2a8a27fb4e335f2c09&loc=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem%26item%3D300447991513%26ssP ageName%3DADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123)

That reminds me I wanted to add a signature to my posts. I have the GTi so what lights do I have. The 2 low and high beam of each?

So that means I need 2 x H7 then correct?

You would need two packs of H7 = 4 globes.

2 - low beam
2 - high beam

[Bassik]

So does that mean that one light will admit a lower light and the other will admit higher? Can this be done... on the same globes?

[Hail22]

Low beam is the standard beam you run while driving at night.

High Beam is the beam used for extra illumination, warning drivers, or letting lane hogs/incompetent 4x4 drivers ;) to move out of the overtaking lane.

I believe they're the same, I may be wrong!

Yeah I get that but how can the same H7 globe admit different levels of output?

I was reading this and it seems the difference the connectors and the fact the H4 has two filaments.

Can this be done... on the same globes?

For a H4 bulb, yes.


... how can the same H7 globe admit different levels of output?

They don't.


I was reading this and it seems the difference the connectors and the fact the H4 has two filaments.

Yes.

But you don't use H4 bulbs, so forget about them.

Ahh I threw it away so only have them installed in the car. I wouldn't recommend them anyways. I just bought some single LED's from eBay and I would probably recommend those... they should be in the mail by the time I get home so I can see how they are.

Btw I am taking the ones at the front and putting them inside as interior leds. I must say though my number plate led job looks awesome!

Any bulb with a blue coating will reduce its light output (physics 101).

But I'm sure everyone already knew that - this thread is mainly about aesthetics.

Just as an FYI, the colour temperature for the stock Osram gas-discharge bulb is 4150 K, which you will find is not actually white as white can be.

There are plenty of blue-coated halogen bulbs on the market that can match that.

[Bassik]

Any

Just as an FYI, the colour temperature for the stock Osram gas-discharge bulb is 4150 K, which you will find is not actually white as white can be.


The Osram nightbreakers and plus version are all in the 3000k colour temp. The Phillips are 4300k and I'm even starting to think thats to white.

PS: Here is a good website for knowing what lights are for what car and you can choose whiter, brighter....etc.

The Osram nightbreakers and plus version are all in the 3000k colour temp. The Phillips are 4300k and I'm even starting to think thats to white.


Osram says they're 3500 K for the H7 bulb. (http://www.osram.com/osram_com/products/lamps/automotive-cars/halogen-light/night-breaker-plus/index.jsp)

Their Cool Blue Intense range is at 4200 K. (http://www.osram.com/osram_com/products/lamps/automotive-cars/halogen-light/cool-blue-intense/index.jsp)

What I'm getting at is that, if one wants a "H.I.D." look using halogen bulbs, you don't really need to go higher than 4000-4500 K in colour temperature and reduce light output unnecessarily, considering that the stock Osram gas-discharge bulb is 4150 K.

[Diesel_vert]

If it were me, I wouldn't buy LEDs in the first place, then I wouldn't feel the need to colour match them. :P

I also wouldn't spend so much on bulbs that are constantly on (assuming the H7 bulbs are used as DRLs).

But having said that...


If it was you, what would you buy?

CBH (Cool Blue Hyper) has the lowest luminous flux of the H7 bulbs, but interestingly, it has a longer life span than NBP (Night Breaker Plus) and CBI (Cool Blue Intense). Perhaps something to consider if its going to be used as a DRL.

I also noticed that the CBI H7 bulb has a colour temperature of 3750 K, instead of 4200 K like the other bulbs. Might as well buy NBP which is 3500 K but performs better on the road.

I'd get the CBH purely because (surprisingly) it has a longer life span in the blue bulb category, but get NBP for the high beams.

Not much technical specs for Philips, but CV (4300 K) would produce a whiter light, and DV (5000 K) would produce a bluer light. Don't know how they fare in regards to life span.

Can I just say that aesthetics is a very personal thing. How far one is willing to go for the pursuit of looks is up to you.

[Hail22]

sounds cool

No I don't want to use the H7s as a DRL more like the side/parker lights (LED).

Sounds like a good mix though CBH low beam, NBP High beam, LED for parkers.

So in closing

H7 CBH (low beam)?

H7 NBP (High Beam)

LED parkers/DRL.

Both the Low Beam and High Beam sockets are H7 correct?

[Diesel_vert]

No I don't want to use the H7s as a DRL more like the side/parker lights (LED).

So how do you turn off the low beams being used as DRLs? VAG-COM?

Sounds fine, though I should mention that blue-coated halogen bulbs generally don't last as long compared to standard bulbs.


Both the Low Beam and High Beam sockets are H7 correct?

Well it's either that, or a single H4 bulb for both low & high beams, depending on the model.

I'd double check if you are still not sure.

[Bassik]

Well my LEDs didn't arrive, hopefully tomorrow.

you can turn your daylight lights off just can't turn the small day lights off unless you disconnect the fuse or yes vcds.

You make a valid point though, the blue coated lights won't last as long. The Phillips have a 750 hour life spam that's like 16 days straight. Not much really. I might go 1 first and test too see.

Have you made your choice Hail?

Nah just taking it easy, ordered in some new parker lights to match with my main beam...a part from that not going to touch it for now...

[Bassik]

So what have you got atm?

I just ordered the Philips Crystal Vision... See how these last and if they burn out or something I'll just wack the stock ones back in. I'm gunna get the Osram NB for the high beams but I'll get them off ebay and install them for high beams see how they go...

If they fail I'll just return back to stock. Not wasting all my money.

[gavs]

I would have gone the osrams all round, I've had the crystal visions in VW reflector headlights before and they're rubbish.

[kawabanga]

I read all the pages of this thread, but I'm not sure if you have already found a solution to switch off the day lights...

It is possible and it's also easy. Here in Italy are mandatory, but what I can't understand is why VW decided to switch on all the lights of the car: plate, front/rear parking lights are not so useful from my point of view... Probably VW fears that having the low beams always on, when the night is coming or entering a tunnel, someone could forget to switch on the others lights...

Anyway, probably has already been said, but to switch them off you have to follow two steps:
1-Connect via VAG and there you can switch off rear/front parking lights (0 bit 0 byte 12 long coding module 09).
2-Remove the side cover of the dashboard, disconnect the connector of the light command and slip off pins #3 (Grey-violet) for low beams and #6 (Grey-blue) for plate's lights.

In this way you can choose for example to let connected pin#3 and always have low beams on and the rest off....

Don't forget that when the light command is on "0" position the voltage to low beams light is reduced of 0.3V, so the lamps will have a longer life... (you can try at night passing from "0" to "2" and you will see the intensity of light changing...)

Also, if your car are equipped with start&stop function the above instructions are not valid, because the electric scheme is different...

.

[Hail22]

So what have you got atm?


Stock at the moment but think with the upgraded parkers i will get more light/coverage.

[Bassik]

I would have gone the osrams all round, I've had the crystal visions in VW reflector headlights before and they're rubbish.

Could have told me before...lol I was going to get Osram's for high beams. The Philips are more whiter/clearer I believe I have read a lot of mixed reviews so best bet was to choose for myself.

I also tested them driving at night last night, there is a noticeable difference everything is whiter and looks better however as noted by everyone there is less visibility, not entirely but I found myself adjusting the globe positioning.

There is heaps of guys selling the CVs on eBay I just wanted them ASAP so only ordered locately. I'm gunna grab some NBs as well to test those out, see what's better and switch between high and low beams.

[readerr0r]

So the current understanding is the Nightbreakers would be more yellow than stock? I wouldn't mind a whiter light for my static cornering lights, their yellow tinge messes up the look of the Xenons.

At the same time, going white will make the cornering lights less usable...

Bought the Philips CV, hopefully the LEDs arrive today and the CV Wednesday so i can do a full test :D

Good work let us know how you go. The CV are great however it takes a little time to adjust to the higher temp levels. I wanna put in the LED's back in as well so it adds a nicer blue and brighter tint.

Now to get NB for high beams and then I'm either thinking going real yellow for fog or sticking to whites. I saw the yellow on a car couple of nights ago looks cool.

All I will say is don't drive a country road at night with the crystal visions. They're good for lighting up reflectors but that's about it....

Is there any problem with me placing the H7 in my car?

[Bassik]

I asked many people what I should put in my low beam and everyone said H7.

to my knowledge there are two sets of head lamps. The Gti has the 2 separate ones. Which is 2 sets of H7's. Plus H4 connectors are different to my knowledge, so wont fit. The H7's went in fine.

Nah I have interior LED's already (at the front) I need to know how to take the capping off from the back so I can replace them.

Worked like a charm,

The biggest plus is it changes from LHD to RHD!
