Really looking forward to seeing the headlight split and mod.
As soon as the tt is back on the road I’ll be right on it
Did you think I wouldnt see those calibers 😆😃
Keep up the great work on the tutorials .always very useful information .
thanks buddy
Excellente vidéo merci beaucoup et bravo ... bon tuto pour changer le capteur de pression absolue du Turbo
Cheers buddy brilliant vid again KEEP THEM COMING!! Lots and lots haha 😄
😂😂😂👍🏻
Loking forward to the spitting vid, the internal surface of the lense is l believe lacquered and that can craze.
Great vid my friend...needed this one!! 🍺🍺
Thanks buddy ☺️
I prefer the black inlay, great video do.
Thank you, yeah I’ve had the black now fancy the silver. Think it depends on the body colour :)
@@TheParrottBros yes, on a light color like silver i prefer the silver inlay but on darker colors i prefer the black
This is convenient since I just bought Euro spec headlight. Cheers from Canada!
haha your welcome 😁
Silver inserts look so much better to me too, great vid Dom, very useful. Glad to see you've got the front back on your car!
This was filmed prior to the strip haha the car is very much still in bits 😂 waiting on parts still. Hopefully those week I’ll get what I ordered. Damn bank holiday slowing things down
@@TheParrottBros Oh I see..."The Magic of Cinema" ;)...fingers crossed they land soon...How many sides of A4 was the parts list? ;)
@@pigeonguardgames507 a couple atleast 😂😂
@@TheParrottBros 😂
Iam sure i didnt remove that rear clip when i removed mine years ago. Just slid the headlight out of the socket before pulling it out
take the top torx off the bumper and remove the grill a lot easier than taking wheels off
I just performed a headlight removal today. Thanks heaps for your insights.😎🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀🍀🍀
I had really cloudy lenses.
I fully sanded of the factory clear coat using 400 and 800 grit. Then I used anti-static cleaner with lint free cloths, before hitting is with a dust coat of DuPont 2 pac clear, follow by two light coats with full flash drying in between every coat.
It’s amazing to see TT headlights so milky after sanding with 800grit and as the clear coat goes on it’s instantly crystal clear.
Top work, I bet with all the hot weather its even worse out there than in the uk!! yeah it amazes me how one spray and it changes from satin to see through haha
Nah.. just lever em out with a crowbar. Much simpler and a bit of double sided sticky tape to stick the new ones in 👍
😂😂
@@TheParrottBros Bryn is coming down tomorrow to fix my screwed gearbox and slipping clutch.. there goes all the money I'd saved to get all the bodywork mint and wheels refurbished! Ah, well ...
@@blakkno666 better to have a running tt than a clean one, annoying though as know how you feel. Mine is desperate for a clean and wheel refurb
@@TheParrottBros very true 👍
Awesome video, very useful! Thanks bro!
Thank you ☺️
Great video thanks , got lots of info from you , I'm doing a halogen to xenon swap , I can't find a video on your channel, have you done one ? Thanks keep up the great work
Hey tony, its not something I've had to do in the past, as all the cars I have owned have xenon's already
Hey dom great videos as always 👍 are you going to be making a video that shows how to split the lens away ? I’ve found a lot of things you can do to the lights but non showing you how to do it ?
I will be yes, I keep getting put back but it’s top of my list soon as I get some time to film next
Hey mate, excellent videos. Going through a binge! I am the soon to be owner of a 2001 mk1 225 and love the wheels on that TT at @5:54. Watched your video on wheel fitment and I don't think it was mentioned, are they BBS?
Cheers mate, keep up the good work.
Thanks buddy, plenty of videos to keep you busy for a few days haha
those wheels are bbs CH's for reference, Welcome aboard
You probably know ,can I put xenon headlights to my 2001 180bhp mk1 TT ? Or the xenon have a different
plug/play ?
Sweet - I need to sand mine (They're not super bad, but I have the kit so might as well!). I'd love to see a video on removing the lens and re-sealing it after if you plan on doing that
I will be splitting a pair at some point and mock fitting the sequential indicators 👌🏻
Dude, after the 2 top and front bolts are undone, you pull forwards and slide headlight out of the S bracket. Theres no need to get into removing the S bracket in the wing , the plastic pin on the lamp is a locator, just pull the head light out of the bracket.
Good to know thanks buddy
First gr8 video dom mines are cloudy
Quite a common Theme on mk1’s. Be worth using one of those headlight restoration kits like holts or autoglym
@@TheParrottBros yes there not cheap these lights
You have headlights for Audi tt8n
I av a mk 1 225 tt with hundred and forty five thousand on the clock its mint love to av a stage 1 or 2 tune but it makes me nervous about engine damage
That is a very good statement, the risk with mapping older high mileage cars is you Put more strain on the older components so for example a warn clutch / old turbo / perished pipework etc with the extra boost may just give out. That being said I had 180k when I got mine mapped 😂
Audi be like ;
Taillight ? - Turn single nob with your hand behind this specially designed neat compartment. no tools needed
Headlight ? - Plan your day off and call your mate prior to gathering tools required for dissembling the bodykit and continuing to step 2/48.
Haha love that immensely accurate description
Do the lights need to be realigned once refitted?
Thanks
If you are putting them back in the same car you removed them from and made no adjustments you should be fine. If you have bought or repaired one yea 100%
Where are the front indicators on the light.?
Behind the orange bezel if that’s what you mean. Lamp is mounted at bottom in middle at back
6:42 someone legit did that too me. i left my car at work overnight and when i came back the next day for it i saw the headlight slightly pushed in and my wheel arch damaged 🥲
😢 that’s annoying and I bet they didn’t leave a note either
@@TheParrottBros not even a post-it note saying sorry 😞
@@nanopeepee955 hate people like that, just gotta hope karma catches up with them
@@TheParrottBros oh and just wanted to say i love your videos, i bought my tt this year and your videos really helped me out. 15 year old striving mechanic 👨🔧 (btw where did u get the indicator bulbs?)
