Ok so got a call today from the mrs screaming at me saying why on earth have you brought new lights....you know we cant afford them etc its christmas.............OK call me nasty i didnt tell her i won them....BIG SHOUT out and a GREAT big THANKYOU to David at Ultra Auto Design for arranging the competition and the none winners definately got a great discount off these lights.
So got home and wow
Fast delivery (3 days including the weekend so 1 working day)
Very well packaged see photos it took me 20 mins just to get them out.
Decent packaging.
So time to give you lot some more as ive used plenty of help on ukpassats
Please accept my apologies on it being dark i just couldnt wait. Please do not take this how to as a haynes manual as i might be missing some screws compared to your passat and you may have different equipment then mine. You do this at your own risk not mine.
Heres a how to on...
Removing your grill
Removing your front bumper
Removing your headlights
Fitting Ultra Auto Design led drl headlights
So were start by removing the grill
Start by removing the 2 screws located here....
Then you will need to remove the bonnet latch which goes through the grill. very tricky so bear with me while i try to explain.
Here is where were going to be working
We will be removing the latch handle so there is a little clip (number 1 on picture) which you need to lift up. then get a large flat head screw driver and put it in between the handle pegs sideways and then twist the screw driver thus opening the pegs and allowing you to pull out the latch handle (see number 2 on pic)
Now you should be able to remove the grill by lifting up and lifting out.
Now you will have what looks like this
Now onto removing your front bumper
No start by removing the 4 screws located below where the grill was and then as in the picture get on the floor with a flat headed screw driver and there is a large single screw in the middle.under the bumper
Now move round to the wheel arches
Here you will find 3 or 4 screws
I think i had some missings
undo these and then you should be ready to slide the front bumper off
slide it out forwards and there you are
if you have front fog lights please bare this in mind (i didnt)
and also ive been told there is screws under the fog light grills but i didnt have any either.
Now onto removing the front head lights
So 1st we need to remove one of the bump bars so i didnt manage to get a good picture but youll get the idea. undo the 5 screws see picture, there is also another 2 on the other side which is missing from the photo.
Then pull this off
Now move onto undoing the lights.there are 2 visual ones on the top of the lights, then look behind the lights and there is one hidden down there, remove the rubber bungs and there is another under there.
you can now slide the lights out forward and disconnect the loom.
Now to fitting the Ultra Auto Design led drl lights.
you need to be carefull as the wires are loose so make sure you tuck them nicely out the way before fitting them in place. connect the loom and slide the lights in place. put the screws in place a few turns but not tight.
Now move the lights into position making sure they meet the wing perfectly and there is no gaps. keep holding them in place and tighten the screws up. now test to see if they work (why wouldnt they they are sweet as...)
Now move on to the bump bar but dont forget to put those rubber grommets back you took off when removing the lights themselves. right there is 5 screws altogether so you should get the idea from the picture they are the 2 on the other side.
Now as in the haynes manual fitting is reverse of removal when you move onto the bumper and grill or see above for removal.
Thanks and enjoy. better photos to come. sorry but i couldnt wait to do it so done it in the dark.
Again a great big THANKYOU to David and everyone at Ultra Auto Design http://www.ultraauto.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
