Nice. I have a 2001 Volkswagen Beetle and would like to upgrade both the headlights and the rear lights. How much does it cost and is this for which model? Thank you
1st time viewer those wire taps are shit please remove them n solder or find a different wire tap gizmo cuz your going to have a ton of headaches in the future also make sure your wires harness look clean . don't ask me why :)
Yup, Scotchlok adapters are loved by mechanics since they damage the original wire and can be a real pain to fix properly. Proper crimp connections are preferred and why every wire on every car is assembled that way.
if it was requesting more amps than it could handle I would expect it to just pop a fuse, they are just a couple of LED’s after all. I spoke with one of my friends that’s running a similar set and they told me to redo the grounds. I have yet to do that though
Fuses blow when there is a short, not an over current draw. Pulling too much current will just heat up the wire until it melts, then the fuse should blow.
Yea, I said that wrong. I didn't mean to imply fuses never blow from over current. But in a situation like this, you can absolutely draw enough current to melt the sheathing on that wire without blowing a fuse. I've seen it happen hundreds of times over the years working on cars. Melted wires, finding accessories attached that overloaded the harness & never a fuse blown until the melted sheathing allowed a short.
Thank you so much that’s an excellent insulation I’m going to do the same for my wife’s 1999 VW beetle 2.0
I thought they just automatically turn on you have to add wires I'm screwed
Damn dude, it seems I just so happen to be looking for aftermarket headlights as well. Everything you are doing I happen to be looking into lmao

Thank you
Put hids on it and LEDs in lights strip did it on mine looks sick 👍🏻
Where did you ground your probe/voltage meter with checking the pin?
I myself would have put a relay between the running lights and the switch..
Did anyone get these but got the 8pin connector Euro Type with auto adjuster?
I am looking to make these work for US type.
Só filmam com Beetle antigo ❓❓❓
I got the same once an i have to drive with the high ones they horrible
Once he turned them on, I was disappointed. I was looking at these on eBay. Now I don't want them.

Mechanics use them because vibration from the vehicle will crack the solder
Had set on wife's car...they sucked, don't waste your money or time
He just rips it half off lol
The running lights both being fed by that one 10-12 gauge wire probably isn't enough power tbh

@@hackerpschorr Fuses definitely blow if you pull to much current

Recent example. Taillight connector and wire harness melted, fuse never blew:
