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.

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...

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???

Here is my car with the Bosch lights working just great... I took a ride out on the highway last nite and found that the other car lights didn't effect them at all...

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...

Who makes those H-4's??? I got the new relays to go with the Eurolights and it was better for like 2 or 3 months then the reflectors inside started to corroded....

the h4's don't have the projector part, thats part of the headlight housing, the bulbs are the blue tinted ones, i'm actually not sure who produced those lights, as they came with the car, but i did find the thread on vortex that the previous owner of my car actually bought the lights from like 2 years ago, do a search on scirocco projectors or jetta projectors on vwvortex.
