hencyber12 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hey guys bought a black edition about 3 weeks ago and have done a few of the classic things already Changed my footwell lights to really bright blue LED's^^ Next I fitted HID's, they're 4300k and super easy to fit, i mean i know less than nothing about modifying cars but i still managed to fit them. Important point to note is that i bought some metal clips because I watched a video on how to fit HID's but it looks like you dont need them on the mk7.5? They also made the Fog's look very yellow so they're getting changed ASAP xD Next was a Zetec S grill badge. easy to fit you just screw it all together and place the mounting plate behind the grill then spin the badge round until the nut tightens. I think i like the look of it Thanks for looking. Still need to do number plate bulbs, Fog's, New number plates and interior lights next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 First up, yellow fogs. They're yellow for a reason. Whiter the light, the more it will bounce back and becoming dazzling in fog. Even worse on a snowwy foggy day. You've gone for 4300k HIDs which are pretty much in the middle of yellow/white. Unfortunately, as your fog lights are Reflectors, HIDs would be an illegal modification. Second.. your car has Red highlights.. yet you've gone for blue interior lighting? Unusual... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First up: A quote from an article on fog lamps "Good (and legal) fog lamps may produce white or Selective Yellow light—it is the beam pattern, not the light colour, that defines a fog lamp". It won't make it considerably harder to see so i'm not that bothered but thanks :D Secondly: I don't like red lights, I think that the blue looks nicer and stand out much more :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Right.. So what I'm saying is the BEAM PATTERN from HIDs in REFLECTOR lights would be ILLEGAL. Something to consider. Whiter light will reflect off the fog and reduce your vision. unless you go for yellow foglights..

Do you know what bulb type the fog is?Effectiveness you're better with a more yellow bulb.. you should only use your fogs when you need to anyway so why would you want them to look good.. when you're not going to see them whilst driving in fog? Still, give me 5 minutes and ill tell you what bulb you need Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Front fogs are h11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_sniper93 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hey, looks great. I've just bought one of these (also I'm new to the forum). The fogs are H11 I believe.I fitted red footwell LEDs but yours look a hell of a lot brighter than mine so can i ask where you got them from? Also I've put some Heko wind deflectors on mine and I think they look really good as far as a cheap mod goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much, and yeah really bright! And the wind deflectors are pretty simple, you just take off the adhesive strips, slip each end into your window channel and then push the rest in, working your way into the middle - only takes 10 mintues! However, you should slowly raise your window until it is fully up then leave it for 24 hours so the window can kind of mould to the deflector properly (otherwise it just keeps going down because it thinks your fingers are getting trapped). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hencyber12 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Changed my number plate bulbs today to LED's, I'm not mega pleased with them because they seem to light up the floor more than the plate tbh And changed the terrible boot light to a Blue LED too, which looks 10x better!
