Footwell lights
I'm slowly working my way through the interior lights on my car. Next up thanks to the guides on here will be door handle and footwell lighting. I'm just wondering what have other people used for the footwell leds as there's so many on eBay that appear either to be quite expensive or for newer cars??

Any recommendations on which eBay vag tacho lead to buy??

Re: B5.5 tyre size
Had Dunlops before the Khumo's I have now. Both a great tyre but Khumo's are a great value all rounder without the premium imho. I like them that much that out of the 6 sets of alloys I have 4 are shod in them lol. Ultimate tyres for me are Michelen pilot sports but I can't justify the extra spend f...

Re: Just won these on eBay
According to UK law if it's fitted it has to work and be tested if not it can't be failed for not being there. Our mot guidelines are 99% the same as GB Bill

Re: Just won these on eBay
Hate to break it to you, you will need the level sensors, ecu unit and wiring harness as well. Have a look at http://www.passatplus.de/umbauteile/lwr/index.htm also, xenon bulbs dim with age, best to replace them as well. Only if I want self levelling, which I don't as its not fired so can't be tes...

Won these this afternoon. Hope there ok when they arrive as at that price it would have been very rude not to
http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/201463719641
Looking forward to getting them fitted which will hopefully just be a 10-12pin adapted. Hopefully all bulbs and ballasts are functional

Re: Headlight washers - auto levelling?
I know on MKIV's headlight washers where part of the winter kit on halogens along with heated cloth seats (if leather wasn't speced) and heated washer jets etc. Perhaps the Passat was similar.
