Re: VAG COM MODS

Big digital speedo in the DIS. This also does away with the KPH speedo and replaces it with the outside temperature. If you go overseas, just select Alt Speed Display in the DIS settings menu and it will return to factory. I've also disabled the auto rear wipe when reverse is selected. Ah cool than...

Re: Day Light Running Lights

I managed to remove my front end grills to get the bulbs out but would definitely remove the bumper next time as i was so worried i was going to snap the plastic.

The bumpers are easy to remove mines been of numerous amount of times.

Re: After market projector Headlights

Your better off paying someone to retrofit some bi-xenons into your original headlights. This is all and well if you have £1500 or whatever to spare to complete this to factory spec with the washers etc as well. In that case you'd be better trading in for one that already has them. I got a quote f...

Re: B7 Estate rear indicators LED upgrade

Yes i had trouble trying to remove my cluster i gave up in the end didnt want to snap any plastics off. I think RELAYS are needed for LED indicators but brake lights i think just need to be canbus error free and thats about it. I may be wrong however.

Re: B7 Estate rear indicators LED upgrade

Oh not a great fan of LED clusters on the b7.

I have looked into putting LED bulbs into my brake light clusters on the rear of mine but wiring is of concern.

Mine were factory tinted but had another 30% put on top of the rears and 50% on the fronts looks very OEM and not over the top.
