    I loved your video, I was wondering if they sell the part where the lightbulbs go. For some reason my back left blinker burned out and we changed out the lights ,and that wasn’t the problem. We think it might be the part where the lightbulb screws into.

    Nice! this helped me get the bulbs out.
    I also have a mk6, I have the parts and am about to install a header and intake manifold from the AEG motor. The header is 4-2-1 and tubular instead of the cast 4-1 on this car. this should give a little boost in power. intake manifold is metal instead of plastic, i had mine explode on me when the engine backfired.( Moral of the story is change your timing belt at 60,000kms folks.) but they all bolt up minus having to add some vacuum lines to the intake and something to clamp the new downpipe to the cat.
    couldn't find your video on jetta air intake, I plan on doing that after as well. I think it will be touch to make a system better than the stock one. you could also do exhaust tips! I was thinking of cutting the rear muffler off and putting a cool tip on.
    anyways came here for the jetta but then woah porsche racecar?

  • @2whereismymind
    @2whereismymind 2 года назад +2

    Thx so much!! I didn't order the original VW part, I paid $150 from car parts dot come. It seems as if there's a slight gap on the top as apposed to the original on the right side? I did notice 2 tiny plastic squares on top of the assembly. I can visibility see them on the side I replaced (they are on the one I took out but seem to be slimmer). It snapped in perfectly and works perfectly. My concern is the 1/8" gap. Will it short anything out if rain leakes inside? Does it have the tiny gap on the top of the new housing because:
    1. I should remove the 2 tiny plastic squares on replacement ( off Market, not VW original)
    2. It's no big deal that it's 1/8" off at the top.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH. Of course I had the housing w/ the clear strip in center costing an extra $50. Mine is a 2018 VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition

    • @MTParadise
      @MTParadise  2 года назад +1

    • @2whereismymind
      @2whereismymind 2 года назад +1

      @MT Paradise I'm grateful for you. I got to thinking, they are nothing more than spacers. I looked @ original side, and there were 2 plastic spacers there. However, they were half the size of the one's on the new housing I received. So I popped out the new spacers and NO GAP! THANKS AGAIN . I assume the spacers are for the perfect fit. Thx again

      Hey Chris...I have the same problem. It could be the evaporator...but it could be that your vw needs a recharge. My fluids were fine so vw thinks it's the evaporator. Unfortunately the evaporator is behind the dash...so they have to take the whole inside front end to get to it...looking at about 1600 to 2000$.

    If bulbs and fuses don't fix the issue: get under your steering column and check that your loom connections are firmly plugged in. More likely than not, you've been playing footsie.
    And if that doesn't work, proceed with checking your relays, grounds and ohms tests, setting your car on fire (joking), etc

    If you notice there was a cut scene when he took the tab off.
    It is not just "that easy" if it was he could easily do it one handed no?
    That sht is a pain if you got 3 hands bruh 😆

    You edited out the part where you took the thing out of the middle and that’s the one part I’m struggling with😡

      The panel that the bulbs hook into?
      If so, there are a few tabs that stick straight up and you have to push them out of the way to slide up the panel. It’s a little annoying but I just raised up one side first.

    You took the time to make at least a seven minute video and to talk about your fancy LED light bulb but you didn't say what size should go in there

      If you click on one of the links in the description or just go onto Amazon, it will tell you what to use. You could also take yours out and take it to an auto shop. There’s many easy solutions

      @MT Paradise if you just read it off the bulb in your video that would have been the best and easiest solution but instead I have to go and look in your description for something that may not have even be listed and what if I didn't have a bulb in my tail light already because the previous owner removed it for some unknown reason. I'm just saying
