    In this video I’m going to be showing you how to fit the front fog light kit. If you look online there are many kits available. I chose the Travelinlite kit, link below if you’re interested.

    Good kit comes with all the bits you need. I have already got the Sportline bumper add on from them so hoping it fits well.
    Comment below on your thoughts and I will respond ASAP. Check out my Instagram page @tom_tdubz for more uploads and pictures of my progress. Thanks for watching and remember to take care when working on your own vehicle. Tdubz

    I used Travelinlite to upgrade the auto light switch and all the interior lights on my 5.1 Shuttle. A total of 18 interior lights, 24 individual leds comprising of 2 of their Caravelle kits, +an additional 2, 36mm leds and a packet of the tiny wedge bulbs off Fleabay.........
    Wow, what a difference it makes in the dark! 👍.
    Sadly, they're out of stock of the fog lights at the moment..... 😕

    • @tomtdubz

      Wow I bet it’s bright in there! A lot of people slate them on prices etc but in my honest/ non biased opinion… Travelinlite all the way 👍🏻

    Hey Tom. Thanks for the videos! Out of interest, how do you manage to keep the DRLs on at same time as fog lights? Mine go out and the side lights come on... cheers

    • @tomtdubz
      @tomtdubz  4 роки тому

      The drls are the TravelinLite ones.. they are powered by the feed to the main vow drls. Not sure how the dogs stay on. I got my feed from the main power to the switch, you may have the other wires in the wrong number connections..

    • @tomtdubz
      @tomtdubz  3 роки тому

      Gary blair thanks fella, the front sportline bumper part is from travelinlite. Great fit too, come primed just need to paint. The inserts can be a little fiddly to get back in but I added a couple of hidden black screws...

    Hi thanks for the video, new to my T5 i find driving at night the dipped beam is poor, are the fog lights a good fix to help night driving or should i look to improve the main lights?.

    • @tomtdubz
      @tomtdubz  2 роки тому

      Can’t beat a decent bulb at night, I’d look to upgrade the bulbs, although it looks smart driving with your fogs on will annoy on coming drivers 👍🏻👍🏻

    • @tomtdubz
      @tomtdubz  6 місяців тому +1

      Hey buddy, no issues with mine, they can be a bit fiddly.. often the bottom rights/left don’t push in very well.. most of the time they fit well… you might need to add a little bit of bonding glue in the bottom corners if you have cut away too much….

    • @tomtdubz
      @tomtdubz  2 роки тому

      Check if the fitting of the sport line valance is correct.. if that’s not lined up very well the fogs won’t sit far enough forward…
