i thought bosch lights were euro... E-code?  where your old ones all corroded in the reflectors?  Now you need some HID conversions!

We need an update with the Bosch installed!!!

HID's are nice. Fred (TDIclub founder) gave me a ride in his mk4 jetta variant with HID's on low beams at last year's TDIfest....

 :shock:

Daylight really, amazing!!!!

Upgrading to ecodes is the first step.

Then you can get custom wiring, you'll gain up to 40% some say.

A2B4 on Vortex make some, or concept one in Alberta sells some also.

I would really love to put them into the car but I'm a yard mecanic I don't have a garage and it is has been like close to -20 celcius... I'm afraid to take my gill apart and have it break in these temps...  That pic of the car was taken on Jan. 14/2006 with temps around +10 celcius.. Around the nite of the 15th it was raining and then the ice started to build up on the car and I just got the lights yesterday... It is supose to get warmer agian by the end of the week... I will keep everone posted...

well I got them in and talk about a big difference... This is what the eurolight looked like after taking it out... Or rather the front just fell off onto the ground and broke... I didn't think they were suppose to separate...

They are Eurolight CRAP... I won't be going to Eurolight for any of my lighting needs anymore... If this is a sample of the quality that they make... Can you see the dirt that has been building up on the inside of the lense???

I got out on the highway with the new lights tonight and I kind of miss the old yellowed things... It was snowing and the reflection was bad... I guess I got use to the old Eurolights that were soooo bad that it didn't even reflect off of the fresh falling snow...
