Driving your car stock on track is rewarding, you learn how to adapt to the car as it is, then as you upgrade you notice the improvements. Just my opinion tho.

I'm in complete agreement here ^. Seat time is going to make you a better driver not a set of springs & shocks. Doing a track day or two will give you an idea of what needs to be upgraded for you to be happy.

If you call the dealer, they'll be able to pull it up right away. But I believe it's N90993601. I bought two and ended up putting a nut on mine, so it's for sure not going anywhere :laugh: Mine also fell out, a month after installing Unitronic intake. Probably didn't tighten it down enough or you can put some blue loctite.

I have OEM HIDs so Im thinking of upgrading to the LED HIDs. Is it a straight swap or do I need other things as well? Thanks

I just now discovered that I have LED rear license plate lights. These aren't stock, are they?

Was changing oil the other day and we having some lighting issues in my friend's garage. made me wish i had a light under the hood.

came across this thread on vortex: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6993103-AntiDark-under-hood-led-kit-DIY-Review

Wondering if you guys think this would also work with the GTI. also not seeing much of this kinda thing on here unless im looking in the wrong place - anyone know if this has been tried on our cars?

My GTI is a 2013 with a build date of 2-13 & has no LED plate lights. I added them.

I see no reason you couldn't do that under hood light setup on a MK6 GTI.

:yikes:

That looks pretty intense, I'd probably have a headache after working under there for 15 minutes

Yeah, I think it'd be better with a manual switch. The light would come in handy now and then, but I don't need to get blasted every time I open the hood

Datsun Z cars had a little light within the engine bay, except that one was totally useless.

Intake Manifold took a crap on me for the third time. Contacted VW of America for a possible lemon but back. VW opened a case and is evaluating all the circumstances. What are some possible outcomes and chances of getting into a new VW? Has anyone here gone through this?
