    What a difference!

    New ones look brilliant! Valeo is a decent brand, they do a much sought-after LED rear tail light for MkV R32s, and are an OEM supplier as well (I think).

    As an owner of a facelift GT, I can confirm the OEM build holder has both terminals at the bottom.

      No probs. Do you have any bulds in mind for the main beam? I guess we wouldn't be able to use the G3/4s since the main beam has the extra connection right?

      Thanks mate, they were £20 off AliExpress. Cheap easy mod.

    Hey man. Isn't the small lights supposed to illuminate when you turn the steering? On the pfl i have that mini bulb that does that

      Yes, I think you’re right on the facelift cars, when I plugged it into my harness, obviously being a pre-facelift that bulb didn’t do anything, it’s wired up to be a DRL now, so it always on.

      I mentioned in the video, I ran a positive wire, from the small bulb socket to the headlight positive plug.
      The negative wire was already attached.

      ⁠@@carlubetv Nice video, just upgraded mine! For drl did you run the wire straight to the bulb? When i installed mine i noticed the connector from the harness had 1 less pins than the FL lights had, was thinking of adding a pin there to keep the whole thing more waterproof

    • @carlubetv

      I ran the the positive from the headlight bulb cradle and used a negative connection that was on the redundant bulb.

      Really simple mate, just don’t lose the screws inside the headlight unit.
      Just need to remove the three screws, and I think relocate the terminal connectors .

      Just done my headlight, I had to cut the wires on the bulb holder and re wire the old connector as the Valeo ones was completely different to vw then put old holder in like you did? Did you have this trouble with yours?

      I’m not sure what you’re asking mate? If you mean the small light bulb under the full beam bulb?
      Just by plugging in the new headlight to the standard PFL harness, no, it doesn’t, but I ran a wire to it as I explained in the video to make it light up.

      The line that swoops along the bottom of the headlight that isn’t on pre-facelift. I guess this is just a reflector and not an actual light?
