Would anyone that has made them b4 be willing to help me make mine? there arnt any VW dealers anywhere near me.

**o2_designs** · 05-23-2008, 03:56 PM

I'd recommend ordering the harness from BatInc or from a Euro parts place that has them. It would be alot easier.

**Stolle** · 05-23-2008, 04:46 PM

yea. im just horrible at wiring. lol

**GapBoyPCS** · 05-23-2008, 07:33 PM

Wiring is easy. The VW wires used have a metal clip on them that insert into the slots of the connector base.

If accessibility is an issue, definitely try our sponsors, Bat Inc.

**Stolle** · 05-23-2008, 07:42 PM

anyone have the VW part number?

**EggYolk_Zetec_ZX3** · 05-23-2008, 09:33 PM

This is what I used for my Machs... I am horrible with wiring but this is step by step the entire way, and I didn't even **** it up!

Part numbers are listed there... be prepared to shell out a little over $100 for what you need... also get with FORDSVTPARTS to get you the Ford connector that you will need.

hey o2. did u skip the lil plugs that plug into the existing headlight bulb pigtails and just cut those off and directly wire in the VW harness?

**o2_designs** · 05-23-2008, 11:49 PM

The harness in that how-to is different then the VW harness I have.

I just cut the old factory harness out, and wired up the new harness directly in. So my signals, and all my other leads go thro the same harness.

I made an adaptor harness with a couple of "weather proof" connector plugs and the wiring harness out of the old headlamps. Its easily removable and I can go back to stock headlamps in about 15 mins, if i had to.

**Foci_Fosho** · 05-24-2008, 02:22 PM

I did the same as secondechomatt.

I bought the connectors from BAT inc. for $50. I cut off the old connectors in the car and soldered the new connectors to my existing harness. Easy and cheap.
