Hi Thanks - how much are they? you have a link?

Hi, Been desperately wanting to sort the sidelights after catching a glimpse in a shop window they look horrid compared ot the Xenon dipped beam! Found some philips blue vision side lights i had from another car, but they still look poor! What you guys suggest?? Any pics i want as close to matching as possible with out stupid ones im going to get pulled over for!

Sorry Troopa!! I have ordered everything today!! the part number for the male connector is 1JO973119 - £1.60 not sure on the brakelight its one of two depending on age from 2001 on is the more expensive one i know it ends in a B rather than an A. Two bolts under the rubber gaitors to get the spoiler off 8mm socket - then the three posidrive scres under the black plastic trim in the centre, should just come off. All parts available seperate, but the light is one unit - its not just a bulb, they corrode so bad its shocking!! Any probs let me know!! Pete (Becs other half)

Right after reading lots of posts on here regarding others having a faulty rear light i decided to take off the rear spoiler and get to the light. 10 min job to get it off and the light out of the spolier!! Corroded is an understatement!!! the pins have actually broken off the light connection and are embeded inside the loom connector!!! The fix and cost: New LED brake light unit 02 on i belive are all the more expensive option just short of £30 from VW dealer New Male connector to connect to the loom side im told £1 from VW. I thought i would just make a point of saying this really is not a tough job, so if your centre light is not working its a £30 fix and take you no longer than 30mins. Seriously simple!!!!!

Just checked the guide and its just bolted on, new brakelight from VW and il get the other half to sort it out, he is pretty confident he can do it no problem. I just had another look and there is alot of dirt and muck trapped in their so it looks like its corroded the conection. Will post up once its done!!

Interested to hear peoples thoughts before i go the long rouote of trying to chasethe wiring and test ect!! Noticed when being followed that my centre (spoiler) brake light is completely not working, i have had a quick look and cant even see how the light comes away from the spoiler? Anyone had this problem or have any ideas why it may have stopped working!? Cheers!!

Any pics of the Bastuck or ideally the 3'' Janspeed?

Will machine polish them both and get some better pics in the next couple of weeks!!

lol! im busy You have probably done it fine! give it a dam good polish and wax then look at the result the first time you clay you generally going to spend longer as its all new and your slower!

The spots are the contaminants, but they shouldnt need that much time to get off, always keep the panel well lubricated and make sure you continually fold and re shape the clay so your working with a clean claybar. just do a say 10inch by 10inch section then move on.

Its brilliant but you need to do the whole routine. Clay - removes all the contaminants, if you clean the car then stroke the back of your hand across a panel youll fell it is quite ruff and and drags. By claying you remove this and it leaves you with a sleek surface that is clean!! This then moves you too.... Polish - Now you polish the panel, ideally with a PC (random orbital machine) but if not by hand lol then once you have polished the panels you want to........ Seal/Wax = protect all of the hard work you have just done!! Claying definately worth doing.

Hi, You wont really see any difference when claying, its the later stages when you notice i.e once you have polished and waxed. The clay cleans the paintwork of tar,sap diesel etc etc, then you need to polish then wax it just gives you a flawlessly clean base to polish then protect!! b ut as said shouldnt take longer than say 5mins a panel really, otherwise you may mar the paint and that will mean youll need machine polish to correct. Pete

Yer liking that janspeed - am i right in thinking they also do a 3'' version?? The scorpion oval is quite tidy too.

Weather was ok today so gave both the cars a wash, and decided to get some pics of them up the local industrial estate. Pics are not best quality due to the light fading fast!!
