Hi folks,
I was wondering if maybe someone could look at their headlight plug and post the wires order/colors for me that are in it (we talking non GTI). I have to put back the original headlights into the mrs. Lupo for the MOT but cant find the list of the wires I made before fitting GTI xenons
. Any diagram should do the job nicely too 
Thanks very much,
Stan

Mrs works at tesco and almost same thing happened to her Loopy. It is a tiny car and some people still dont have enough room to come in/out from parking space
-
Thank you 99hjhm
Will give it a go over the weekend

the ashtray itself just pulls out, the centre console is held in by the two under trays i think and two screws under them, theres also two plastic bolts under the gear gaitor.
i assume you have a lupo or an arosa mk2 the mk1 arosa is diferent. theres a button on the bottom of the ash tray that acts as a release.
Thanks CopeyCupra,
So in order to get behind ashtray I need to remove the centre console?
Still confused about how to remove it tho, lol

Hey folks,
Just wondering if there is a easy way to remove the ashtray from the center console?
I'm trying to wire up satnav to it from behind of it but I looked at the ashtray and I couldn't see any screws holding it in place.
Cheers for any help.

I just need to get a bulbs for the sidelights

PM'd you.
You know thats it's not legal to use those on a UK road, when fitted to a car without self leveling and washers?? Or are you not from the UK??
@ 99hjhm-live in Ireland and here it doesn't make a difference,
.About to reply to your pm bud
@ marcusgrant-will do as soon as Mrs comes back from work

Well I did it this week and WOW!!!!! Awesome!!!
Didnt have to chop any car bits off to get them fit, just had to remove the induction noise hose which didnt make any difference. So if anyone wants to upgrade their headlights to xenons it can be done
.The wires have to be switched around in the main headlight loom + you need to run extra ground to each xenon. Also there was an issue with main beam but that we got sorted by splicing into the stalk in the steering column.
It took me and my mate almost 5 hours to do it. But it was well worth it!!!
If anyone needs any help or pics etc. fire away
This is the best upgrade so far and xenons look so good on a white car

I will be fitting the xenons to the Mrs.Loopy at some stage this week, and just wanted to see if anyone knows the pin layout in the wiring for them (GTI ones). I read that few members did it here, but I didnt find any specific info about it. I know I'll have to chop few bits off to get them fit which wont be a huge problem, but I would like to get the wiring done properly. Would there be any additional plugs/looms required or could I just swap the pins inside the plug in order they should be?
Any tips/pics/help is highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Stan

Normally the code is in the car manual (radio section) or some people write it on the unit. But you wont find it there unless as I've said someone did it.
-
You need the number of the radio (it's on the sticker)+ chassis number of the original car that the radio came from if you want to get a code from VW. Afaik there are people who can get you the code as well but I wouldn't know much about that.
If it was me I would see if anyone here has one for sale with the code really. VW or other sources could charge you few bob for
it.

Isn't at least one cup holder installed in every Lupo as standard in the front?
I got second one to substitute the coin tray from the stealers for about €25 all in (without the face plate-waiting for it
) and apparently its the same as Audi A6/A4 I was told by the Parts Department fella Is GTi one any different?
-
Or forget any of the choices and go for xcarlink
It will connect to your original radio and play mp3s from USB stick.
Had that in the R32 up until I sold my MFD satnav, now Mrs. has it in the Loopy.
You just get an USB stick/SD card create folders with music on it and off you go
.Works great and also if you already have cd player/changer it will still work as well
-
Did your double din have satnav?
2nd pic Id say navi gps aerial???
Green wire would be part of your old stereo, looks like it wasnt VW one.
If its a aftermarket unit (not VW) in some cases the wires from the loom need to be switched.
From the pics it looks like the loom isn't for VW radio (last pic).
-
Is it original VW radio with original VW CD player? or different?
If both are original it could be that the connection in the back of your radio is damaged.
We need bit more info chief
-
If you are driving you could buy them from dealers over there or drive to any scrappy as well. I'm sure they have lots of them over there:). Are the lights are that expensive in Russia?
-
Id say any scrappy over there should have a set or two cheap or you can always try ebay.de
