    Hi. I have a 2013 gli manual with the HID headlights. I saw that you also installed the k&n cold air intake how did you get that little hose to go into the side of the cold air intake pipe?

      Good question, the intake kit cane with a metal spout where the hose slipped onto. I did a full install vid if you haven’t seen it called “How to install a cold air intake on a VW MK6 Jetta GLI” ua-cam.com/video/XIt-O3ph-AQ/v-deo.html hope that helps answer your question.

    Just got my 2017 jetta... purchased the bi xenon headlights and the wiring harness.The vender told me it was just plug n play cause my harness were already programmed. Did you have to do any programming with vagcom or was your set up plug n play??
    Also on these jettas is there a need to take of the front bumper for install?? or is there no need??
    thanks

    • @Frankiegisme
      @Frankiegisme  7 років тому +1

      Nice! Welcome to the Vdub family. I did not have to do any programming either. All plug and play also.
      I have seen other people remove the front bumper to replace the headlights but I decided against that myself. I just push the headlight toward the engine bay and pulled up of the bumper lip and that worked for me. So the only thing that you have to remove is the grille.

    Hey man, the car looks awesome! I just bought a 2016 Jetta s, and I want to install these headlights on it. How are they holding up?
    For the Hid kensun conversion kit, I'm not sure which size in the options and color to choose from. I know I just want a bright white color. Any tips? The canceller seems to be sold out on amazon but I think I can find a pair on eBay.

    • @Frankiegisme
      @Frankiegisme  7 років тому +1

      Hey, thanks for watching! I really like them and they seem to be holding up well. I noticed that the DRLs only come on when the headlights are on but Im sure that's just a setting that im too lazy to find. The headlights that I bought require D2S bulbs. I got the 6000K bulb but notice that they are slightly bluer than the DRLs, so I think a 5000k would be a better match. Im sure any canceller would work but I like how simple mine was to install.
      Biggest tip for you... make sure you have all the parts/tools ready before starting. Then you wont have to do it twice, like i did haha #ForgotTheBallast

Also, I have a plug and plug antiflicker/warning canceller connected because they were flickering after the install. All good now 👌

    • @Frankiegisme
      @Frankiegisme  8 місяців тому

      For some reason the wiring for each Jetta is different. I know a ton of people who bought them and they worked as DRL’s. However, some people like me weren’t as fortunate. If that’s the case you need to repin the headlight harness so the drls line up. To this date I haven’t been motivated enough to do it. I’ve watched vids about it. Seems simple but just didn’t matter enough I guess. Hope this helps.

    Frankie, I'm a big fan of yours. Question about the Headlights. Does the assembly itself (400 bucks) require anti warning adaptations? Or does it run error free with normal halogen bulbs? I understand the HID kit requires anti flicker and anti error stuff, but the headlight itself should be fine, correct? Do you feel the set to be of good quality? Have you had any issues yet?

    • @Frankiegisme
      @Frankiegisme  7 років тому +1

      When I installed the headlights I only used the bulbs/ballasts. However, a few days later my headlights were acting weird and then I got a bulb out warning on my dash. If you're gonna spend the money on the lights, I suggest getting the anti-flicker warning canceller too.
      Overall, I haven't had any issues with them. The DRL's only light up when the headlights are on. I've been meaning to contact the seller and ask about that but I haven't had time. Other than that, they are AWESOME! I get compliments all the time.

    Hey man, stupid question. So you obviously cannot use the original halogen/led bulbs with these, correct? You must buy hid’s? I just bought these without doing enough research because I thought you could just throw them on using existing the bulbs.

      These are aftermarket headlights that use D2S bulbs. The ballasts are only required for BiXenon bulbs. You can use any other D2S bulb without a ballast. For example, I used to have D2S LED bulbs that do not need a ballast.

I bought the same hid kit (except i went with the 5000k cuz the cops around here where i live are A$$holes about the "blueish tint")from the link in ur vid and the anti flicker kit. where u able to retain the hi/low beams? I noticed that the bulbs don't move in and out like bi-xenon bulbs do. Do the headlamps do the "in/out" function to make the hi/low work like the bi-xenon bulbs wld do or is there something I'm missing? I need for these to be BRIGHT as I live in the woods and have tons of wildlife running around. Already nailed 2 different deer, 2 separate occasions and had the car in the shop twice to repair the entire front end. I keep getting pulled over cuz I run some cree led fog lights (which are illegal for on road use). I'm just tired of the cops an I'm trying to fly under the radar. not be a target. lol. any help wld be greatly appreciated. I also got a set of stock look projector fog light with 100w yellow 9006 cree leds for them..

      +JuggFinesse I don't think LED bulbs require a ballast so it should be the same as replacing the OEM bulbs

      That's awesome! Funny that you mentioned your channel... I went to check it out right now and it says that I watched your exhaust video. I've been looking around trying to decide on what exhaust system to get. Good stuff man.

      Haha nice! Yeah I love to mod all my cars I just sent in my ECU today to get APR Stage 2 tune I cant wait!
      Also if your thinking about exhaust I would definitely recommend doing a turbo back system.
      Thinking about doing a lite smoke on my headlights did you have the original headlights smoked on the Panda?

      Nice! Your car is definitely quicker than mine haha. I listened to so many exhaust systems online that im still not sure which one I want but it'll most likely be a resonated turbo back system.
      On the original headlights I used Lamin-x film to tint them. I like that film because it also protects from rock chips.
      What are you doing next to your GLI?

      Well in addition to the tune I also have a full set of Megan racing coilovers on the way which should stiffen up the ride a bit. Also they are fully adjustable so I'm going to lower the front about an inch and the rear an inch and a half. Think the only other things after that will be water methanol injection to get me as close to 300HP and 360TQ lastl thing I want to get some different rims thinking about 18" TSW Max Hyper Silver

      +Logan Gamble I want to lower mine so bad but I don't want the inconvenience. My solution is dampening air suspension.unfortunately, it's not cheap. I'm gonna save most performance stuff for last. I'm going more for a stanced look.

    6000 lumens, "6000 K" is the warmth or color of the light being emitted. 6000 lumens is like looking into the sun. Your welcome.
