I'd want to do this as well to match my theme, but I am not proficient at LED wiring, and the only person I knew on here who did it, doesn't anymore. :(

Iirc, the plug was under the plastic kick plate on the passenger's side on my '09.

It requires no splicing or wiring knowledge. I am REALLY bad at this stuff and I did it with no help in just a few minutes. The plastic kick plates pop off, you plug in the harness, fish the wire through to the driver's side, plug everything in and pop on the aluminum kick plates.

Chris, kickplates are easy, no wiring needed. It is all prewired so you just run the wires around the car and plug it in. Longest part is getting the old kickplates off really.

My holiday plans:
-Rotors
-Pads
-Lines
-Fluid
-Rear spacers
-Drinking & skiing. :tup:

So both the passenger side, and driver's side, plug in together on the passenger side?? That seems odd... and a really annoying way of cable management to get the drivers side ran..?

I just wish there was still someone doing the LED swap to red. Otherwise I'd of already had a set installed.. :(

Well I only have off for Christmas and New Year's, but no real mod plans for the holidays. Already installed my sway bars 2 weeks ago. Need to swap out the melted headlight lens once it gets warm again outside. Also gonna pick up some Pilot Super Sports for the spring. :tup:

I acually need to do another set because my girlfriend dinged the hell out of the passenger's side with her heels. They actually dent surprisingly easily :/

Anyway, yeah if I remember right, both plugs were on the passenger side but I could be wrong. It has been a couple years since I've done it.

Fishing the cable isn't too hard - like I said, use a coat hanger and a little bit of electric tape and fish it behind the steeing column.

Yep, the harness plug is on the passenger side.

Yeah those would look sharp. My interior LEDs are all already red and the entire car is red/black.

Painting my brake calipers black, and hopefully putting on black Evo-r z logos if Santa brings them for Christmas.

-Pull Headers and Exhaust(for sale hit me up)
-Buy rest of turbo parts
-build downpipe for MK5 GTI

Now that sounds like a plan!:tup:

dmhenderson 12-17-2012 02:03 PM

PM'ed - I may want your headers depending on what you had although for some reason I think you may have had LTHs or test pipes in which case oh well.

b1adesofcha0s 12-17-2012 02:04 PM

Yeah he had the FI LTH.

dmhenderson 12-17-2012 02:16 PM

I can't run those in MD. If I ever get around to it, I'll do stillen ceramic heat-wrapped headers but that's as far as I'm willing to go with this car.

MyKindaGuise 12-17-2012 02:22 PM

Haha emissions are lameeeee. For anyone else curios these dont throw error codes so its just a matter of finding a shop that doesnt do sniffer tests.

Sorry for the double post but here is a pic of the Holset Hc1 turbo. Next to it is a turbo from my buddies Miata. For those that don't know mine is the one taped up.
