  1. UPDATE: Don't buy Philips, it sucks. Just after 2 days, I got rid of the Ultinons and put some cheap 5000K xenon in that works like a charm. I had less light this with these stupid LEDs than with a small hand flashlight. I had to modify the electrical wiring, add some + connection on the battery and add an extra relay. Default wiring is not compatible with H7 headlights, but not so hard anyway; I forgot to mention. Got rid of the Ultinon signals also. They mess with the radio and dashboard for an unknown reason. It looks better with orange OEM bulbs after all.
  2. You don't need an oven for OEM Hella. The OEM mastic is soft, like a chewing-gum. I used... my hair drier. The mastic I used[1] for the new enclosure had the same softness. After mastic insertion I just pressed the parts, tied them together with auto-straps[2]. Next day... I used my hair drier again, just to be sure, LOL. I'll try to make a macro picture... you can't tell that it was opened, OEM like finish. I also put back the metal fuses through the mastic and the plastic enclosure. I wanted (a must) the headlights to be as OEM as possbile, but rather black with LED.

  3. UPDATE: The LEDs work like a charm. No need for CANBUS for our headlights, no flickering. Long range beam/ flap also works well. Though, I will insert a voltage and current regulator to dim the brightness. Pictures soon.
  4. The plan is to insert Philips Extreme Ultinon 6500K
  5. tried that; paint goes somehow under. :( maybe i'm not doing it properly.
  6. Greetings, Inspired by Emanuel who has a nice Fabia, I have decided to buy some used HELLAs, open them and paint black as he did. Unfortunately I have also painted the ring eye which I wanted to leave aluminium paint by mistake. So I brought some others. Now the question: how can I paint the interior of the headlights without painting the eye ring also? Is there a special technique, a template to apply over it of some sort; anything? Tank you in advance, Albert
  7. OMG, that is brilliant! I want one of the same! <3
  8. From where did you buy the ornament for the spoiler? I haven't seen one with a hole in the middle until now.
