Hello to all. I am looking at updating my 2018 VW golfs halogen headlights. Not changing bulbs, and certainly not "retrofitting LED". Looked at the LED and bixenon options that the GTI has , way too expensive. In my last car (2012 dodge charger I mounted 2 kc 130 w compact pencil beam and 2 kc compact 100w fogs behind the lower grill. Very clean look..the Pencils worked great the Fogs, aimed so as too supplement, worked well and I was very careful with cutoff. Both were wired in with relay to the high and low respectively. I am considering Hella 4000's, pattern TBD
MOUNTING, a "license plate" bracket makes sense, but the weight and jiggle of a large aux light concerns me as the plate mount is on what is essentially plastic bumper cover, I think they will wiggle like hell, I have some ideas to reinforce the plastic behind, but an ideal solution it some sort of bracket that holds the "top" of the light, but all i can find after much searching is http://www.volkswagengolf.se/viewtopic.php?t=38907 , which looks a bit scrappy to me. Any ideas?
BEAM: I am thinking one Euro/driving beam with hi beam, and maybe a fog light (yeah, i know, close range lighting vs where you want it, but I want the cutoff so I wont be a ****** to oncoming). The CORNERING beam seams better but I cant find out if it has a cutoff, if it does, great. Do any of you know if a HELLA 4000 cornering beam have a low beam light cutoff?
PS I have searched (30 min plus) and have not had this answered yet.
PPS Umm duh, but when i tried to attach photo using the ATTACH, it asks for a URL, not "browse"
thanks
