Never seen so many lights inside a car. Great video again tho luke.
Thanks man. And it doesnt even have footwell lights either lol
I was looking for this thanks pal!
How do we get the rear passenger lighting leds?
To take out the rubber shit of the black panels take out the pieces and place-it under hot water. Use a degreaser (I've used KH7) and use a hard brush. I've done that in my golf gti mk4 25th
I got my whole LED conversion kit for the interior of my Polo R-Line for the best part of £5 but the only issue is the front dome lights have got a purple tint to them unlikw the others which are pure bright white. Even so... they look amazing 😋
Sounds cool to be fair.
An enjoyable and quality video 👍
Good video as always buddy 👍
Thanks Mike!
@@bluudysgarage your welcome buddy 👍🎄
Your lights are not coming on when opening the drivers door due to the microswitch in the door lock module being broken. Usually the welcome light on the door does not work too as it senses if the door is open or not. It's a common issue and can be easily replaced. Would make for a good video.
Hey man. You are right. But they are a pain in the ass to do. as you have to remove door cards window regs. Windows etc then the lock. I. Gonna live with it for now
.
I done this to my mk1 leon also, it's easily repaired if you don't want to spend the cash on a door lock, just split the mechanical and electrical parts once the door lock is out and open up the electrical part and you will see where the wires have been soldered to the circuit board (these usually tend to have very little solder from factory which breaks over time) you will see where the solder has cracked, just re-solder and put back together and you saved yourself some money, only takes an extra 10mins to fix instead of replacing the whole unit, whole job can be done in an hour, I've done it to both driver and passenger doors it's dead easy
I can’t find these anywhere. Can u plz give me the link to this kit?
+1
oh interesting vid, cuppa ready and enjoy.
Thanks dude :)
I think you should paint the centre console fully bronze where the scratches are like you did with the radio housing
Not sure which part you mean. As all the console is painted.
@@bluudysgarage like the whole centre part, where you said about the scratches on the side
@@3ben31 cant paint that. That's the dashboard. Well I can.. but I'm not lol
Top video as always dude. However I wish I didn't attempt this on my mondeo. When I changed them my interior lights, windows, and heated seats stopped working. I changed the fuses but still no joy!
Hair looking good man👍🏻
Thanks man
Brill vid luke project shed has came along way and 10:24 made me pmsl 😂😂
Hahaha
@@bluudysgarage its killed me with laughter ahhaa
I got them ones for my Astra H, really bright.
whats the name of those mini leds ? im trying to find them but i cant ..
Have you got a link for the led kit
Link of these led lights please
Where can i buy theese leds?
On that plastic buy auto glym engine degreaser and dinner restorer, Apply degreaser to micro fibre and wipe the plastic down and then use the restorer, it it doesn't work try a magic eraser , the degreaser and restoring work wonders on engine bay cleaning to may be a fun video to do
A few people suggested magic eraser i'll have to give it a go.
Where can I get this kit?
The reason you had a few of those longer sufit LEDs left may be because those are used in the rear vanity lights and the shorter one in the boot light on older model years of Golf mk4, so maybe you ordered the wrong kit or the seller f*ed up. BTW yes you are missing a spring on the glovebox light
Cheers dude. This cars long gone now. I found the spring. It had broke off.
Nice video as always Bluudy! If my plastic dash becomes or is filthy then I first degrees it with some rubbing alcohol. Most of the time old steering wheels and things like that are sticky and do have nasty stains on them. After that, I use some cockpit spray to get it shiny. _But, why do you have a piece of foam under your gearstick?_
Thanks for the advice. Theres foam all around the car under panels etc. Its all to stop road noise etc. Part of the build quality of a Volkswagen.
This is what I do too, makes it look brand new 👍
Hi mate, you can wet sand the scuffed panels with 1000 grit sand paper and above. It will smooth out scratches etc. You can then polish it with a cutting polish and wipe off with rubbing alcohol to remove the traces of it. To bring back the shine/gloss use a trim restorer. Hope my comments help.
@@louvendran7273 that's dude. I may do that. Ot I may try scratch remover compound and a buffer :) I appreciate your comment.
Hi morning Bluudys, is there a link for me to get those led bulbs? O have a Vw Bora mk 4.
Magic eraser and some multi purpose cleaner for the plastics, and your missing a coil spring off the glovebox light, £4 for the full light unit off ebay👍
Thanks man. I did wonder if I was missing a spring. Thanks for the advice!
Hey man
Do u know if there's something to do for installing LED headlights on that car?
And if it fits with the back seals so no dust or water gets in there
What was the length of these bulbs 36mm?
Fantastic job... Every time... Change the plafo near rear visor with the plafo of Passat w8... I have done and love... Congrats from Italy and mk4 fan.. Ps where are bought this lights?
Thanks man. They are off Ebay. What's a plafo?
@@bluudysgarage Passat w8 plafo... Have a 2 micro led red and better look... It s original Plug and play on golf, and Connect the wire... On ebay original on Aliexpress not original (the $ it s less) the link for watch it s this www.ebay.it/itm/ORIGINAL-VW-Innenraumleuchte-W8-LED-Tuning-Golf-4-Passat-Bora-Polo-3B7947105F2EN/172153421087?hash=item281524bd1f:g:qMUAAOSwiu5bOzwG
@@bluudysgarage it's the main interior light in the front of the car, the Passat w8 light shines red leds down onto the centre console, gear shifter and handbrake, looks very nice but sometimes they can be very expensive! Don't be shocked if you see them for £60+ but they do make the car look far better and it set the tone for my mk1 leon with all the mk4 r32 interior trim and steering wheel in it, you should fit the r32 stuff like I did, just can't afford the seats at the minute but it'll be done soon enough!
Where did u get the bulbs from?
WAIT, i thought you said you were never cutting the FRO! :o you look good mate, for the rubber coating(soft touch) on the dash i used 70 or 80% alcohol rub and a dish scourer if i remember correctly
Thanks leezy. It was getting too long Haha. Should have seen the hair pictures on Instagram. Thanks for the advice
Where did you get these bulbs
My whole inetrior lights sometimes work sometimes not, did anyone have same problem i m trying to solve it and then put leds
is there any lights under the sun visor or footwell lights ? on they golf's?
I shown the sun visor ones. No foot well lights.
my dude, please leave a link to all those LEDs. I have a mk4 and would love to do the same thing you did.
Old video now buddy so the link on ebaybl doesn't exist. Just try a search on ebay for a kit.
Wtf why is my rear lights not like that mine has a switch you push in on the face of light
muito bom, vídeo ajudou muito parabéns...!!!!!
Have you a link for me?
12:33
That is plasti dip
I tried many things to remove it and everything failed so i used presure washer to remove much plasti dip as possible than spray painted everything
Dont do the glovebox. I warned you guys lol
It was a nightmare..
G101 cleaner, bought off eBay or autosmart dealer
Got a link?
Alright pal thinking about getting a vw golf gt tdi pd150 mk4 would u recommend
I would yes
This video is all about being lighter 😂😜😂😜love the led tho bud 👍👍
Haha. Thanks dude
Where did you get the led kit from?
Ebay
Have you got a link buddy please
@@madfish1981 just search on eBay. This videos a couple of years old now. The set I bought from which ever seller probably won't exist. Just have a Google.
happy scarecut lol
Haha
Good vid mate . Could of used your new trim tools instead of screw driver haha but decent vid as always 👍🏻
I could have your right! Haha
Could you please leave a link for these would love some for my leon shud be same
Ebay. They are a complete set.
If it's a mk1 leon just buy x7 36mm festoon bulbs for interior and boot and x6 w5w bulbs which are for the rear lights and the front/middle interior light and another x2 36mm festoons for the number plate and that's all of them, if you don't have the lights for your sun visors then just buy x4 w5w bulbs, if you only have a 90bhp leon then you only need x2 w5w bulbs and x5 36mm festoon as you won't have lights conected to the reflectors in the rear door cards or lights in the rear above the doors, you can also use large w5w bulbs for the side lights in your headlights if you want them to be another colour although this is illegal (I have mine done in blue and police don't seem to mind but they do need changed back for mot)
Do you have a link to the ones you got
Can you tell me the name of the smallest bulbs??
I'll be honest I cant remember. T5 maybe? Or 501?
@@bluudysgarage i found it. Its the t3
@@elroyvanderkruk6318 ah good to know. Thanks for finding it out dude.
Should of put some lights in foot wells 💡
While says I'm not gonna?
I agree I also have this done, looks unreal boost gauge too, sets it all off perfectly 👍
Your led kit are for a 4 door mk4 golf which is why you have extras, these leds are never how they're supposed to be, the lights in all the mk4 golf platform cars are different unfortunately, my car doesn't use capless bulbs in the door cards but all the rest are the same as yours
How odd. Oh well. I did ask for a 3 door kit.
@@bluudysgarage at least you have plenty of spares now for when they eventually go, can't wait to see the progress on this mk4 looking good so far 👍
@@calvinparke9053 thanks dude :)
Steam clean the dash
Hi Bluudy,this was a awesome video,im thinking of doing mine after Xmas it certainly brightens it better,for your plastic trim I use certain stuff but you can buy armoral plastic trim wipes in matt or shiny but don't use on your steering wheel or your pedals, door trim or dashboard yes you can.
Awesome. Tha ksnfor the advice Steven!
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Alberto Cason Instablaster ;)
@Kase Keenan Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Kase Keenan it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
Walter smiths the butcher cut it haha 🤣
Lol
Link for the kit ?
Just on Ebay.
@@bluudysgarage what's so difficult about going on your order history and sharing the item with people? you are pathetic :/
hey sorry to bother you, but i'm planning ton boosting my 2jz ge, do you recommend i do the headgasket and headstuds? i'm just on a budget, i look forward to your reply, Thanks
Yes. Yes I do.
Head gasket can hold but it's better to replace, and ARP head studs all the way pal
Magic eraser maybe or wd40
Elbow grease.
