  • Of course some lights we know will not fit, as for the H1 - 11 some have said they are interchangeable. So in this video we experiment with three different bulbs, including the style that is recommended for the Jetta.

    Lol I’m glad I found your channel. I am much like you. Why spend 10 minutes on solid instructions when you could struggle with it for 6 hours figuring out out and breaking a few pieces

    H7 duel LEDs fit. Just delete the old high beam bulb and move the wires over. Run the ground to ground and the live wire to the 3rd prong on the LED

    Nice video thumbs up for you bro! I seen a lot of videos on LED conversion but never on a Philips bulb good job 👏 but I have one question for you after you installed these bulbs did you get error light on your dash ? I installed a set of ALLA bulbs on my 2015 Jetta SE as soon as I turn on my lights I get the error light on my dash

    • @SouthdownGarage
      @SouthdownGarage  Před 2 lety +1

      I was told I would get an error light, but I did not with just installing the Philips in the low beam. I wonder if I had it in both low and high beam if I would get an error.

    I’m upgrading to sylvania H7 LED - do I need to keep the clip from the halogens that were in there stock? I’ve been going insane for 2 hrs trying to get these sylvanias to fit.

    • @SouthdownGarage
      @SouthdownGarage  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, H7 bulbs are the ones for our VW's. Your right, Philips is very expensive I have some other options in the description that are cheaper, that I've used before.

      I didn't have to do anything to the fuse box, and yes they have worked good since the install.

    Phillips H7XULED bulb is now 1 piece and heat sync does not detatch from LED. Unable to fit OEM bracket onto bulb and therefore no longer locks into headlight unit slot.

    so, if you replace with phillips h7, there’s no high/low beam? only low beam is it?

    • @SouthdownGarage
      @SouthdownGarage  Před 8 měsíci

      H7 is a single filament bulb, there is only one for low one for high. The high beam is the same bulb.

    • @SouthdownGarage
      @SouthdownGarage  Před 9 měsíci +1

      There should only be one link that works for the Amazon.ca as the head light bulbs are not available on the Amazon.com
      I gave different options for Americans, but those are only available in Canada the last time I checked.

    On wet pavement aftermarket LEDS create too much reflective glare. So many people using cheap LEDs with older cars are blinding opposing traffic with all the stray light leakagd. Not cool.
