Front indicator, dashboard light, and HIDs

Featured Replies

Morning guys,

Hopefully someone can help..

1. Wanting to put the clear front indicators on the '98 6n. Can't see an immediately obvious way to do it. Is it headlight out to get to it, or bumper, or even wing?? This is the indicator unit not the side repeaters I am talking about.

2. Dashboard lights (backing light) are not working or are VERY dim, so can't see speed at night.. All the signal lights show ok, e.g when indicating the light flashes on dash as normal, handbrake light, etc all ok.

3. For HIDs I would need to get H4 Hi/Lo wouldn't i??

Thanks

Ben

Just seen post about uprated looms.. We have bright white sidelights and this is why I wanted HIDs so it wasn't a mix of white and yellow. Any 'standard fitting' bulbs that will give a white output?

Indicators, single bolt at the top, then it pulls out forward

Is the dimmer control by the main headlight switch turned down?

Headlights are H4 on your model, but to save problems come MOT time I wouldn't go for HID's get some Osram Nightbreakers, the uprated looms are mainly for the earlier models but the wiring could be uprated and relays used to ensure full voltage gets to the bulbs

Thanks nige! I will check the dimmer switch today and yeah, but I do like having a crisp white light over yellow :( but will look into them again.

Thanks again!!

Side repeaters to be clear too, and the rear lights. Tidy up front splitter and bumper.

Girlfriend has said she wouldn't mind being a bit lower but for price of coilovers I doubt she will pay haha
