DJ_Andy_M Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Are you in Southampton @MjCarr? I'm assuming you must be fairly local to me as you're based in Hampshire and got a Saints logo for an avatar! If you can't figure it out, I might be able to find an hour or so to have a look and give you some guidance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil21185 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Have a look at my build thread (in my sig) as I've fitted a set of these and have a full write up there!Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie H Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hi Andy et al 聽 I have fitted similar myself, but can't find a car spark to do the wiring bit.. did you get yours working ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan22 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 to fit them you need to find a live in the fuse box that only come's on when the key is turn too on . and then find the dip head lights wire . job done 1 hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Jamie, use a mini fuse tap into fuse 42 in the engine bay fuse box near the battery then use a scotch block (sometimes called a wire tap) and put your drls white (or blue depending on which you have) wire into the terminated side and put either the sidelight or headlight wire into the thru side.I made mine dim with dipped beam which was (I think) the purple and green wire.Full details of my installation are in my build thread (link in my signature or search for "things I'd like to do to my mk3")Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie H Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Great news DRLs are fitted, wired & working! So so pleased they're on聽馃榿 Just ordered smoked rear LED lenses and looking at : headlamp/bulb upgrade Front & rear cameras Front sensors Carbon fibre wrap parts of dash/interior Have been advised against the 8in. Android update for the centre console so will see if anything else is out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpg Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I have also fitted these exact one to my car myself. Very easy. Although the expect to replace them quite often. I'll be on my 3rd set soon. Seems these aren't built to last very long. But they do look good when working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I'm not close enough, but I have a full guide with pics available on my build thread. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have and if you're using a scotch lock for the dimming wire and a fuse tap for the live, you will have to work very hard to damage your car! At the very worst, if you get it wrong maybe your DRLs won't quite work so you come back and tell us what you did and we can help you fix it tomorrow! 聽 聽 聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
