Chris Langdon 0 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Well the first major job to do on the VR to get it back on the road was to fix the sunroof as it had Jammed :( nice enjoyable job to do tho cleaned up the new one came up like a new pin but I noticed some of the panels I had taken off had broken bits so have been replacing them today, big thanks to Gareth for that ;) got the new VW Battery in, thought id start with some small mods first today on my birthday fitted some LED lights ;) one in the boot please with the brightness will up load photos in the morning as it don't wanna a do it for some reason :( Edited November 20, 2014 by Chris Langdon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie 1 Posted January 3, 2015 Keep an eye on eBay led bulbs. I noticed smoke then flames coming from my interior light... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrahamU 5 Posted January 3, 2015 Not good, I have heard of others finding the same from the ebay LEDs. Hope there wasnt any damage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) OOOOO Christ mine are the bulb type don't know if they are any better?? and were from a good company not china lol Jamie its properly cos you got that VSR Fitted................... best sell it to me ;) Edited January 3, 2015 by Chris Langdon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted January 3, 2015 OOOOO Christ mine are the bulb type don't know if they are any better?? and were from a good company not china lol Jamie its properly cos you got that VSR Fitted................... best sell it to me ;) The thing is there's probably a million bulbs out there that are absolutely fine but this has just made me paranoid now. The light came on when I unlocked the car and I jumped straight and saw it, could have been a lot worse if say I'd been rifling round in the boot and not noticed it, just melted the lens on the interior light. Luckily it was my daily not the Corrado... Chris I would have happily swapped my VSR for your Golf mate but alas you sold it :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted January 4, 2015 OOOOO Christ mine are the bulb type don't know if they are any better?? and were from a good company not china lol Which company did you use for your LED's Chris out of interest, as that is rather concerning what Jamie has posted!
