VW Scirocco LED Headlights - Install - Review - How to

[@Themaskplague]

As someone with very big hands who owns a scirocco I can confirm changing the bulbs without removing the unit entirely is a nightmare 😅

[@zneostrap4951]

Taking out the 5 initial screw it’s a nightmare and he makes it look easy

[@TheCakeboi2k15]

These are good bulbs just to make sure you slightly, adjust the the headlights to floor just to avoid dazzling people

[@Nikos-gc1xk]

If you put also in the main -beam the same h7 led is fit correct ?? I am asking because I want the same colour result

[@carlubetv]

These bulbs won’t fit in the main-beam (full-beam), you need a conventional H7 bulb for these, I just run a Phillips xenon gas filled halogen bulb (which is rubbish compared with the LED dipped beam installed).

[@Nikos-gc1xk]

@@carlubetv thank you for your information ! You help me a lot , continue your videos !

[@duguemelvin4303]

hello i have a problem with my xenon lights they cut themselves when i drive it is very dangerous because when i drive and they cut off i see nothing for 2 to 3 seconds while i reset the stalk to zero and put it back do you know where it can come from thank you

[@jasongomez5344]

They do appear to work, but still unsure of the longevity. Also, as the reflectors are designed for halogens, are you sure oncoming drivers aren't being dazzled by the light?

[@carlubetv]

I’ve had these bulbs in for a year or 2 now, still going strong.. Legal or not a wouldn’t be without them now.

[@rockyw2670]

Would u be able to provide a link for the lights as I can’t find these ones

[@originaldenis6110]

Hey Carlube, your video was very helpful. Can you make a video changing the side lights? And are you considering changing the fog lights too, mine are yellow too :(

[@carlubetv]

Thank you mate, I did make a video but I haven’t uploaded it for the side lights, I am planning on changing the fog lights yes, i’m just waiting for my order to arrive.

[@TheDarski]

I bought a set online for my dip lights. They fitted perfectly in to the fitting (no wires), but when I turned them on, they didn't come on and I got the "check bulb" come up on the display. Is there something I am missing or what ?.... I removed the light assembly completely (which was easy enough) to clean the connections and the whole light itself.

[@carlubetv]

Hello mate, I did experience this to on one of the bulbs, you need to make sure that it’s twisted around far enough to make a good connection with the cradle. If you do that, I can’t see why you would have a problem.

[@andygregory1579]

Hi, just fitted these and they look great. One problem is that I have noticed they flicker slightly? Any idea why they are doing this?

[@carlubetv]

They shouldn’t flicker mate, just make sure they are seated properly and making a good tight connection. If they still flicker contact the seller.

[@andygregory1579]

Thanks mate, they seem to have stopped doing it now. It’s a game changer how much these improve your cars look

[@alamos8]

Are they Canbus? I mean, no warning on the dash for failed bulbs?

[@carlubetv]

I can confirm, no error lights with these bulbs. Since this video I’ve changing my headlights for FL headlights (vid coming soon) these bulbs don’t fit the FL headlights, I’m struggling to find bulbs with no errors, missing the G3 LEDs now.

[@trainingteam5901]

Nice video! I am a tad lost with the bulbs tbh. I purchased a couple that were marketed as H7 replacements but they came with a power cable so I ended up installing them in my high beams (with great results I must say). The ones you show here come already socketed so you can plug them straight into the dipped beam slot. Is there a certain class/name for this type that comes with poles instead of a cable?

[@carlubetv]

Yeah, the cable ones won’t work in your dipped beam, there are a couple of different brands that offer similar fitment to the G3s I have, they are still just called H7. Try searching G3 Brite mate.

[@kimurigitau8274]

Hi . Why didn't u put LED bulbs for the high beams

[@carlubetv]

Because I couldn’t find any that didn’t give an error message.

[@zeroanime6471]

Hi can you show how to clean the headlight mine is so dirty I don't no how to clean it because its inside

[@carlubetv]

Unfortunately without taking the headlight completely apart there’s no way to clean the inside. Also if your headlights are anything like mine you’ll notice that there’s lots of little hairline cracks on the inside of the lenses.

[@zeroanime6471]

@@carlubetv mine is all yellow

[@carlubetv]

Do you know something mine were pretty bad when I got the car, I tried a home remedy that really did bring the shine back! Toothpaste and plenty of water, if you search KZbin for light restoration using toothpaste, it’s probably when I watched.

[@kaa1568]

Thanks for the video Can I have a link to the website where you bought the lights? Did you also put the rubber cap on the lamps, or did you leave it without?

[@carlubetv]

I bought the bulbs from eBay and if you search the brand that I showed in the video you’ll find them, The rubber cap on the back of the headlight was put back on easily.

[@MorphianDA]

do you know what exhaust system you have installed? sounds mean as hell

[@carlubetv]

Yes mate, just a back box delete.

[@MTTHETANK09]

hello mate i don't suppose u have a link for these lights ?

[@carlubetv]

Sorry, no, I bought them on eBay.

[@MTTHETANK09]

@@carlubetv no worries trying to do the same to my car hate the yellow makes the car look dated

[@sh3riff]

​@carlubetv surely you have the name of them from the eBay listing. How are they getting on? Are they still working? Have they pitted the inside of the headlights?

[@strongarmarm4568]

Hi did you change the other bulb in the headlights or just the one

[@carlubetv]

I have changed them all now, but hadn’t at the time I made this vid. Vids for fogs and sides to drop soon. Exclusive: I’m changing the whole headlights to facelift ones too, new vid coming soon.

[@AndyJohns1701]

Having real trouble seeing how these bulbs fit they seem to sit correctly in a few different positions but wont twist into the holder. :(

[@carlubetv]

They only sit in one position, you might need to push down slightly to squash the gasket and then they will turn.

[@jacobd.9331]

I have the same issue... Did you manage to solve it ?

[@AndyJohns1701]

@@jacobd.9331 yes there are two fitting types, you have to buy an adaptor Tried to find the link for the ones i bought...but its dead sorry.

[@Themaskplague]

Lovely looking car aswell. Another small mod I would maybe look into is getting the side strips colour coded . Makes a big difference to the overall aesthetic of the car

[@carlubetv]

That’s a good idea 👍 I have bit of body repair I need to carry out on the bottom sills, so might get them painted too. Although I am considering wrapping the whole car too 😏

[@alexmilne7634]

Mega video! I have just purchased leds for my scirocco, can’t wait to install them, just to confirm you’ve fitted the dipped headlights yeah? So your main beam are still halogen? Just want to know so I know the correct main beam lights to get as well 🙂

[@carlubetv]

Yes mate, LED’s in dipped, I installed some Phillips halogen bulbs in the main-beam.

Are legal?

[@shehzadbaisodi7994]

Hello sir. I liked your video and i would like to buy the same lights so can you please put the link in this comment.

[@carlubetv]

Thank you very much, i’m afraid I can’t give you a link as I purchased them off eBay.

[@lukehopcraft9137]

Are they good quality led lights?

[@carlubetv]

Yes, you can see from the vid.

[@how2D0240]

Nobody is mentioning about the law. LEDs are not road legal.

[@Jamez1093]

Who actually cares mate I’ve drove past police with these for about half a year with no issues at all.

[@alexanderi.yudhistira7115]

you're impressed but others are not as you are blinding other road users. a reflector headlights should not go with led. Leds goes with projector headlights.

[@Jamez1093]

Not my problem about the other people, they shouldn’t be looking at my headlights anyway and should focus on their side of the bloody road.
