Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it.
How do you mean 'nothing is compatible'? Ive not seen the magazine myself, but im interested to what they mean!

All four wires run back to some controller block that has to be plugged in for it to open? so the mk2 ones might not work with the box?
4 wires will do, there is 4mm difference ffs lol
Front bumper off, 3 x 13mm bolts holding headlight unit in place, undo, unplug the unit, put xenon in, plug in, put the 3 x 13mm's back, then bumper back on....done!
