Nice job bro 🙌
hi i was considering buying these after seeing your video after doing some KZread search, i came across a video from Vland channel and someone commented that these lights are illegal in the UK, which has now made me curious to know why their illegal and what makes them illegal in the uk?😕
This is the first I'm hearing this so idk if they are illegal or not tbh but I don't think they are. If it turns out that they are then I'm also curious as to why 🤔 Maybe they are like headlights which have left hand drive and right hand drive versions and the way how the left hand drive ones are setup would be illegal in the uk but the RHD would be fine ? Idk but that's just a guess
@@RCS_716 This is from Vland Europe official site, i know there's 2 versions smoked and red, can you give your thoughts on it please. NOTE: For the Red edition, the turn signals on the tail lights should be Amber but due to lens material, the turn signals will look Red. Please confirm with your local regulations before you buy. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X3eGrLiRhrO_dc4.html this lad installed the red versions in the uk, if you go to 8:20, he will show the indicators but they look amber and not red from the video, so im confused. what do you think, do they look amber or red?
It doesn't look red to me, looks how it should imo ( especially at night it will definitely look amber ). Maybe vland say it might look red just as a precaution? 🤷🏿♂️ Do they say anything about the Smoked ones or just the red lense ones ?
@@RCS_716 just a special note for the red ones, it confused me cause i kept seeing comments on other videos saying Vland tail lights are illegal but no explanation to why, ive got a question for you regarding the smoked and red tail lights, i have the pepper grey polo 6R and was wondering which colour tail light would look the best with grey, as you seen the red ones and you own the smoked ones, from a personal opinion, which do you think would best suit a grey polo?
Pepper grey, that's a nice colour 👌. Personally I'd go with smoked with the grey but that might be a bit biased as I just prefer the look of the smoked lights more. But I feel like the smoked would give the back of the car a nice stealthy with the grey.
Does all the wiring come on the link you added? Or do i need to anything separate?
It comes with all the wiring, you don't need to buy anything separately
@@RCS_716 do I need to anything with the power? Any chance of it draining the battery whilst cars off?
You just need to turn off the fast boot option on the headunit, with fast boot enabled it puts it in a sleep like state so it's never truly off so when you start the car it boots up instantly ( but that will drain your battery over time especially if you don't drive your car regularly ) but if you turn that option off then it will turn off the headunit properly and it won't drain the battery but it does take longer to boot up.
@@RCS_716 you're the man, thanks bro👊
Np 👊
Are your steering wheel controls intergrated to it?
My car didn't come with steering controls, but if the car did or your car does then they would still work with it 👍
Do you have any warning lights after connecting them
No, I didn't get any warning lights after connecting them 👍
Do i need to recode the battery, i have start stop system?
I didn't know recoding the battery was a thing on start stop systems tbh so I can't give you a yes or a no unfortunately. Sorry
My dude you put "how to" in your title, then you said "in no way is this a how to video" 😂 you funny g
Never let them know your next move 🤣
😁
😁
Pleased to see your progress, looking forward to seeing the finished project!
Thanks :) I'm hoping to release the final video sooner than it took to release this one 😅
Huge progress 💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥
💪😎
Good video man, keen for it to be completed
Thanks bro 🙏, I'm hoping to have it completed soon
car newbie here, but, cant you just buy the steel ring you took off of the original part and use it instead of the ziptie?
You could but the zip tie is much easier as you'd have to probably squeeze the ring much smaller than it's meant to be as it normally goes round the plastic on the shift knob and not directly on the metal shaft.
@@RCS_716 gotcha, i just, saw more such videos an everyone is using a zip tie and for some reason i cant unsee the part where the zip tie holds it, looks so “unnatural”/bad, id love custom knob but this is kind of a deal breaker for me sadly:(
I agree it does make it look weird, I wasn't a fan of how it looked either :( In the end I went with an oem looking one
What size downpipe? Edit: what company did u get the downpipe from thanks
2.5' inch from darkside developments, I've got a link to it in the description 👍
I love youtube. You can search for a very specific mod on a very specific car and someone will have a video with explanations on how to do it. Thank you very much for this video man, you rock
Thanks :) glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you for the full cable run process
No worries :)
yo ive installed it using brown and red cable(from f1 light black and yellow), it works perfectly fine when ignition is on as soon as i start the car F1 light goes off and does nothing. Any ideas what wrong?
When you start the car and you press the brake, does anything happen ?
If not, connect the red wire from your f1 light to your taillight light ( not the brake light but the normal light that comes on in your taillight ) and then see if it works.
When I bought my Polo Mk5, it was used for 5 years very well maintained but the lady never changed the cabin filter, it was black like charcoal lol
That must have been satisfying to change
Bro whats the colour name???
The paint colour of the car ? If that's what your asking about it's called "reflex silver" 👍
@@RCS_716 yes yes car colour Thanks😇
No problem :)
Thnxs man nice video;)
Thanks :)
Thanks for the video from across the pond in Canada. Cheers
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Big up Canada 🇨🇦 😁
Hi, I have a Skoda which seem identical, so you know anything about whether this works on it too?
I don't know if this fits skoda aswell, sorry
I bought my polo with a different radio in it it had a metal bracket holding it in place . does this one still need the head unit bracket or will it just fit in normally , hope that makes sense not sure how to word it
This one will fit in normally, this doesn't need a metal bracket
@@RCS_716 thanks for the reply , what did you do with the USB ports that come with it? did you just tuck them behind ?
I didn't plug them in because I already had a usb port I put in myself but since then I've connect the usb that came with the headunit so I can use wired carplay and android auto aswell as the wireless. I made a video of me doing it but I never finished it, I'll see if I can find the footage and finish of that video and I'll upload it
@@RCS_716 thanks mate , and just to double check , this is a wireless apple car play isn't it ? i.e I don't need to connect my phone to a usb to allow car play to work?
Yes it's wireless. You do not need to connect any cable to your phone to use the carplay or android auto. But you can use a cable if you want to ( but I don't see why you would since using the wireless is so much more convenient lol )
I have a 2012 1.4 polo I connected the wires the same way you did, when I put the ignition on the light goes on and when I press the break the light does the strobe effect but once I start the car and step on the break there's no strobe, why doesn't the strobe effect work when the cars started thanks
If you've wired it up exactly as I have then I'm not sure why it's not working when the car is on. Is the f1 light on when you turn on the car but just doesn't strobe or is it completely off ?
Hello . Great video. Is your polo a mark 5 (6c or 6r) can't tell with personal reg and no fog lamps at corners . Kind regards Karl
6r
when did you do a video of you lowering your car?
I didn't make a video on it, I just posted about it on instagram. There's a few mods that I did and haven't made videos on them, I might end up making a 1 or 2 minute video for each of the mods I didn't make videos of
Did you declare this to insurance? I don't know if it's worth it
Back when I did this no I didn't but since I've done alot more since then I've got all mods declared now for piece of mind
@@RCS_716 Did you go with a specialist modified insurance provider? I've been trying to update mine and they won't cover it
Yeah, I've gone with a modified specialist now
Hi, do you happen to know your paint code? I have the same colour as yours but I can't find the code anywhere in my car, can it be VW LA7W? I'm trying to make the back logo black and the "insides" silver like yours, thanks
Yep the paint code is LA7W
Armrest: ebay.us/JRRaxk
I am considering doing this to my vw but I am wondering how you can reverse it back if you reconsider.
You could do what I did at 4:00 - 6:00 but just in reverse or you could do something like I did in this video here kzread.info/dash/bejne/hmmLtJaqk8TPcpM.htmlsi=WhEsHXcDr8TzVcrG
Link for the bumper
I can't find a link for it anymore, sorry
@@RCS_716 what year is the 6R gti bumper for your polo fitted
It fits all mk5's so from 2009 - 2017
Turbo diesel sound hit different 🔥
Were there holes there already or did you drill straight through the plastic?
Straight through the plastic
If I go to the link it says that they can’t find the product
I just updated the link, it should work now
Where did u get your wing mirrors from
I got them on ebay
If you was to take it off would it damage paint
I'm not 100% sure tbh but I think if you take your time with it the paint would be fine
Thanks for the info, Ive watched a few videos and you're the only one to go through the priming stage, One other kind of mentioned it but didn't show it. You've just saved me £90 at a local garage. Thank you
No problem :) glad I could help out
Has anyone tried to install these headlights on H4 type? Is it plug-and-play? I've seen some people tried and it works, but I need confirmation
It might physically fit into the headlight but you might need some sort of adapter as the h4 has 3 connection points whereas the h7 has only 2
Wuuw!U mkng it seem so easy,tanks for sharing
Bought for my 1.6 audi a1 buzzing to fit it
Do the parking sensors work on this even if u don’t buy the camera?
My car doesn't have parking sensors so I can't say foe certain but I believe the sensors will still make a noise and the bars will probably show you how close you are to something but you just won't see what your close to 🤣
@@RCS_716 Thank you for the response, I’ve bought one so I’ll just have to wait and see 😂
Np :) im pretty sure it should be ok, if not can always return it tho
What down pipe did you use ?
There's a link to it in the video description :)
Phooken hell... 😢😢😢
Ikr 🥲
can you show how to upgrade to automatic ac unit?
From what I've seen, that's a pretty big job to take on, if it wasn't such a big job, I'd give it a go for you. So I don't think I'll be doing that. Sorry.
@@RCS_716 Appreciate your attention anyway. How about automatic backlid opening with keypress? Is this something that you would consider having on your polo?
@samet107 it's something I've considered and want to do at some point, so I'll definitely make a video on that when I figure out how to do it :)
Oh man. I’m going to have to buy a front end damaged Ford Fiesta to keep up with you. Not sure that my skills are up there with yours though. This Toon Link idea is fun though.
I'm just learning as I go 😅 I've been having fun doing it though. I thought I'd have a bit of fun with the toon link thing lol, I'll definitely be doing more things like that in the coming videos
Yet again you’ve come to my Polo rescue. I got the fuel cap done like you said, and yesterday the battery just died so I had to go and get and fit a new one, and when I saw that you’d done a video on this subject I knew that you’d help me get the job done properly! Time I subscribed (done) and watched the rest of your videos - just in case! 😉
Thanks, your support is appreciated :) Glad you find the videos helpful
Can you use q bond without removing the whole fuel flap? How would you do it?
You can but I removed it so that it would be easier to lay the powder down
Would you sell me your old headlights?
