I've always loved the look of a projector headlight on any car and this is the first thing I had to change on my Jetta. Here is a DIY for anybody that wants the same thing and needs a little help...
Disclaimer: I do not take responsibility for anybody's actions. Be responsible with what you do. If one follows the instructions, this installation will be professional and flawless.
Tools and parts list needed:
- FK projector housing headlight kit including: headlamp units - 2pcs., harness - 2pcs., rubber covers 4pcs., plastic cover - 1 pcs.
- HID kit including: 2 ballasts with igniters, 2 H7-based HID bulbs (5000K recommended), cable ties, 2 rubber gromets.
- 2xPY21W orange bulbs or 2x1156 orange bulbs
- 2 regular halogen H7 bulbs for the highbeams
- Flathead screwdriver
- cross screwdriver
- torx screwdriver or equivalent size allen wrench
- pliers
- mini wrench tool
- silicone
- exacto knife
- insulating tape
1. First open the hood and locate the cover (the one with a light bulb symbol on top) behind the driver's side headlight. Use a cross head screwdriver to unscrew the two screws holding the cover.
Remove the cover and place it on the side.
2. Removing the grille: using a flathead screwdriver pop the top side of the grille next to the hood latch. DO NOT use exesive force.
Lift the lower part of the grille next to the headlight where the clips are. Now do the other side also.
Same on the opposite side.
Locate and unscrew the circled screws located behind the vents.
It is a good idea to place all the remover screws in a container so nothing gets lost.
Next rotate the steering wheel a full rotation clockwise. Go to the left wheelwell to locate the 4 screws securing the wheelwell cover to the bumper (the 4th is behind my hand in the picture).
Next remove the 4 screw holding the undercover by the oil pan.
