Tbh I don't remember what the quality sounded like previously so I can't give you a solid answer as to if this one sound better or worse. But it sounds alright to me 🤷🏿‍♂️

I used super glue. I only used a very small amount spread across it as I didn't want it to be stuck on there too well because if I ever wanted to remove it I wouldn't want it to damage the material beneath it and it would also make removing the glue residue easier.

@@RCS_716 I understand. Do you think 3m would do?

@Mito75006 yeah, I reckon a thin strip of 3m tape should be able to do the trick

Indeed

Thanks bro 👊

This is the first I'm hearing this so idk if they are illegal or not tbh but I don't think they are. If it turns out that they are then I'm also curious as to why 🤔 Maybe they are like headlights which have left hand drive and right hand drive versions and the way how the left hand drive ones are setup would be illegal in the uk but the RHD would be fine ? Idk but that's just a guess

@@RCS_716 This is from Vland Europe official site, i know there's 2 versions smoked and red, can you give your thoughts on it please. NOTE: For the Red edition, the turn signals on the tail lights should be Amber but due to lens material, the turn signals will look Red. Please confirm with your local regulations before you buy. th-cam.com/video/-CRJVXVPYEk/w-d-xo.html this lad installed the red versions in the uk, if you go to 8:20, he will show the indicators but they look amber and not red from the video, so im confused. what do you think, do they look amber or red?

It doesn't look red to me, looks how it should imo ( especially at night it will definitely look amber ). Maybe vland say it might look red just as a precaution? 🤷🏿‍♂️ Do they say anything about the Smoked ones or just the red lense ones ?

@@RCS_716 just a special note for the red ones, it confused me cause i kept seeing comments on other videos saying Vland tail lights are illegal but no explanation to why, ive got a question for you regarding the smoked and red tail lights, i have the pepper grey polo 6R and was wondering which colour tail light would look the best with grey, as you seen the red ones and you own the smoked ones, from a personal opinion, which do you think would best suit a grey polo?

Pepper grey, that's a nice colour 👌. Personally I'd go with smoked with the grey but that might be a bit biased as I just prefer the look of the smoked lights more. But I feel like the smoked would give the back of the car a nice stealthy with the grey.

It comes with all the wiring, you don't need to buy anything separately

@@RCS_716 do I need to anything with the power? Any chance of it draining the battery whilst cars off?

You just need to turn off the fast boot option on the headunit, with fast boot enabled it puts it in a sleep like state so it's never truly off so when you start the car it boots up instantly ( but that will drain your battery over time especially if you don't drive your car regularly ) but if you turn that option off then it will turn off the headunit properly and it won't drain the battery but it does take longer to boot up.

@@RCS_716 you're the man, thanks bro👊

Np 👊

My car didn't come with steering controls, but if the car did or your car does then they would still work with it 👍

No, I didn't get any warning lights after connecting them 👍

I didn't know recoding the battery was a thing on start stop systems tbh so I can't give you a yes or a no unfortunately. Sorry

Never let them know your next move 🤣

😁

Thanks :) I'm hoping to release the final video sooner than it took to release this one 😅

💪😎

Thanks bro 🙏, I'm hoping to have it completed soon

You could but the zip tie is much easier as you'd have to probably squeeze the ring much smaller than it's meant to be as it normally goes round the plastic on the shift knob and not directly on the metal shaft.

@@RCS_716 gotcha, i just, saw more such videos an everyone is using a zip tie and for some reason i cant unsee the part where the zip tie holds it, looks so “unnatural”/bad, id love custom knob but this is kind of a deal breaker for me sadly:(

I agree it does make it look weird, I wasn't a fan of how it looked either :( In the end I went with an oem looking one

2.5' inch from darkside developments, I've got a link to it in the description 👍

Thanks :) glad you enjoyed the video

No worries :)

When you start the car and you press the brake, does anything happen ?

If not, connect the red wire from your f1 light to your taillight light ( not the brake light but the normal light that comes on in your taillight ) and then see if it works.

That must have been satisfying to change

The paint colour of the car ? If that's what your asking about it's called "reflex silver" 👍

@@RCS_716 yes yes car colour Thanks😇

No problem :)

Thanks :)

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Big up Canada 🇨🇦 😁

I don't know if this fits skoda aswell, sorry

This one will fit in normally, this doesn't need a metal bracket

@@RCS_716 thanks for the reply , what did you do with the USB ports that come with it? did you just tuck them behind ?

I didn't plug them in because I already had a usb port I put in myself but since then I've connect the usb that came with the headunit so I can use wired carplay and android auto aswell as the wireless. I made a video of me doing it but I never finished it, I'll see if I can find the footage and finish of that video and I'll upload it

@@RCS_716 thanks mate , and just to double check , this is a wireless apple car play isn't it ? i.e I don't need to connect my phone to a usb to allow car play to work?

Yes it's wireless. You do not need to connect any cable to your phone to use the carplay or android auto. But you can use a cable if you want to ( but I don't see why you would since using the wireless is so much more convenient lol )

If you've wired it up exactly as I have then I'm not sure why it's not working when the car is on. Is the f1 light on when you turn on the car but just doesn't strobe or is it completely off ?

6r

I didn't make a video on it, I just posted about it on instagram. There's a few mods that I did and haven't made videos on them, I might end up making a 1 or 2 minute video for each of the mods I didn't make videos of

Back when I did this no I didn't but since I've done alot more since then I've got all mods declared now for piece of mind

@@RCS_716 Did you go with a specialist modified insurance provider? I've been trying to update mine and they won't cover it

Yeah, I've gone with a modified specialist now

Yep the paint code is LA7W

You could do what I did at 4:00 - 6:00 but just in reverse or you could do something like I did in this video here th-cam.com/video/T5WR4qcaiB0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WhEsHXcDr8TzVcrG

I can't find a link for it anymore, sorry

@@RCS_716 what year is the 6R gti bumper for your polo fitted

It fits all mk5's so from 2009 - 2017

Straight through the plastic

I just updated the link, it should work now

I got them on ebay

I'm not 100% sure tbh but I think if you take your time with it the paint would be fine

No problem :) glad I could help out

It might physically fit into the headlight but you might need some sort of adapter as the h4 has 3 connection points whereas the h7 has only 2

My car doesn't have parking sensors so I can't say foe certain but I believe the sensors will still make a noise and the bars will probably show you how close you are to something but you just won't see what your close to 🤣

@@RCS_716 Thank you for the response, I’ve bought one so I’ll just have to wait and see 😂

Np :) im pretty sure it should be ok, if not can always return it tho

There's a link to it in the video description :)

Ikr 🥲

From what I've seen, that's a pretty big job to take on, if it wasn't such a big job, I'd give it a go for you. So I don't think I'll be doing that. Sorry.

@@RCS_716 Appreciate your attention anyway. How about automatic backlid opening with keypress? Is this something that you would consider having on your polo?

@samet107 it's something I've considered and want to do at some point, so I'll definitely make a video on that when I figure out how to do it :)

I'm just learning as I go 😅 I've been having fun doing it though. I thought I'd have a bit of fun with the toon link thing lol, I'll definitely be doing more things like that in the coming videos
