After all this time, our pristine RLS 1.0 was wrecked last week So while its in the shop, can we update to newer year tC headlights? I think the newer ones look better, IMHO. Are these newer ones Plug and Play?
What years?

PLMK

 

Damn, what happened?

 

My youngest daughter was driving it @ 35mph and looked down to see who was on her CELL PHONE and wham, 3 car wreck...I have to pay too But no one was hurt nor did the airbag go off and the cop was kewl and didnt write her a ticket

 

Put your tow hook cover back on!! You ain't JDM. (j/k)

Sorry to hear about your RS. Those pix make me sad.
If your talking about the 'o8 head lights, you're going to need new harnesses.

 

So the 08s are the only ones huh, and the harness go all the way or break where?
Anyone done the conversion?

 

plenty of people have did the conversion, just need the new hardness adapter and new bulbs.

 

a new hardness adapter? hahahahahahahahahahaha

 

For the harness, you have two choices:

If you don't want to cut/splice your stock harness, there's a plug and play one here for $40+shipping.

If you don't mind cutting/splicing your stock harness, you can get this one for way cheaper.

or you could do 9006 HIDs with H11 bulbs. Pretty sure you don't need a new harness if you go that route.

 

Make sure no one walks off with your grills! Sad to see an RS1 all beat up like that.

 

I am waiting to have a fight with the body shop/insurance about that now, we pointed out about that and they just proceeded like they know everything , good thing I have pics, I know the 1.0 grills are way more expensive IF you can still even get them?????

So ECS tuning sells the adapter harness, I bought some VW wiring adapter harnesses from them a while back...we also have a wrecked up 07 jetta, happened two days earlier..... the older daughter did that one, the younger did the 1.0...


Allstate is going to rape me like a young new inmate... .

 

told you girls shouldnt drive.... i am going to get burned for that one lol.... but its half true

 

man, shush you...i was in an accident in june, sitting at a stop sign minding my own business and all of a sudden a kid in a f150 rearended me, totaled my mazda3 and caused a FIVE car accident. what was HE doing? texting someone.

TWO days later the SAME THING happened to my sister. she was sitting at a light and a kid rear ends her eclipse, totaling it too. what was the driver doing...HE was on his phone.

its not always girls, thanks.


anyway..to the OP. good luck with getting your cars fixed...and if i were you, i'd get your kids off your insurance asap. let them get their own policy.

 

Or just give them bicycles.

 

Wanna sell me that grill and say it disappeared?

 

Here's the opportunity to switch to HIDs. If you get the 08 headlights, you can do HIDs with a 9006 connection and the H11 bulbs. Good luck with getting everything back to normal.

 

OH MAN! hate to see that. Thinking about swaping out the head lights also keep us posted.

 

My eyes are burning right now after seeing those pictures ( espically the RS 1.0 ).....sorry to hear about both your cars....glad you girls are ok though......hope you get it back to normal soon and good luck with whatever you decide with the headlights.....keep us posted.....

 

keys or cell phone.. not both. tell em that. lol

 

X2.. Is the grill alright, insurance should cover it too i think its worth 1200ish or something.. and maybe you can sell the damaged grill to me if its still fixable.. But yeah accidents sucks
