I ran mine with the standard D8S bulbs for a week, and for xenon’s I thought they were pitiful, swapped the out with LED bulbs, and what a difference it makes, tho the coding on mines still not right, everything works but I keep getting side lights not working

Fitted the xenons and coded them work absolutely mint. Think they're xenon bulbs at the moment but fairly impressed compared to halogen so will run them for now.
Coding wise I made a thread were a few people helped me out with the coding.

I'd love to change the rear bumper reflectors to led running lights. Some might think it a little naff, but I wonder if anyone has come across a module that fits a MK4 rear bumper slot.

Picked these up today for the princely sum of £120, £100 for the seats and £20 for the lassies in the scrappy to get breakfast tomorrow!
Just have to work out what the other 2 plugs are for, obviously the yellow is airbags , 1 is red and the other is black

Ordered a 200W solar panel for the roof to hook up to my Bluetti, but will still be cleaning up old glue and fluff from ripped off carpet lining for a good while yet!

Bought some side rail covers and was making use of the good weather to get them painted but the halfords cans aren't a very good match (yeah I know)
So I painted the roof rail bolts instead

If its any help with colour coding i found the spray tin of candy white from the range is a better match than halfords. Found halfords paint a bit on the yellow side of white.

Lmao!, I had no idea they sold it in there! and there's one next to my halfords store - I figured I'd use the halfords one as a base coat and then get some proper vw paint for the last few coats, paid £18 for what can only be described as a 'fun size' can from my local dealer!
