They're £50 delivered, but are top notch quality :)

or make your own for under £20

But that would involve having the ability to do so without making a complete fire-inducing bodge of it :D

true... an extra £30 would save the hassle and worry but i knew (or more importantly my dad knew :D ) what i was doing!

Russ, PM on its way.

 

Jim and Dom thanks for the kind words.

 

As jedi-knight83 says, you can make one for less money but could you actually make it?

if i knew whats wires had to go where i could make it no probs cos the lads that i work with range from electritians through jetengines to airframe guys. so im pretty sure that we could knock 1 up, but its the hassle of it and dont know if i can be arsed to do it when i can get 1 ready made.

I got all the instructions off the Matey-matey website and have an electrical and electronic engineering degree but I still ended up buying one of Gav's looms 'cos I just couldn't be bothered to make my own! :lol: 8)

 

They're top quality and well worth it.... 8)

I made one myself using the instructions on my web site (matey-matey) and it is very simple but for the extra £20 or so I would probably buy one. If they were any more than £50 I would say make your own but for £50 buy one......

 

You will then be able to enjoy driving your car at night as well as during the day :D

or if you want to go even further........

 

This one ties the fogs into the main beam - both when you flash your lights at someone (far more noticeable at night!) & when you switch on the full beam.

 

Using the relays also means that when not on full beam, the fogs work exactly as before with the separate fog light switch .

 

PS Double check it before hooking it up! Shouldn't cost much more to knock up either!

Red wires are hi-current, Blue wires are low-current.

Borrow a standard Scirocco for a few days and you'll change your mind about dim lights on a Corrado :)

And might I suggest a set of Osram SilverStar bulbs to use with your nice new loom?

The Osrams are fantastic. Pure white light. No more dingey candle light.....
