Installation of Daytime Running Lights

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Accessory kit

European regulations require headlights to be on even during the day. To avoid frequently replacing expensive bulbs and reduce fuel consumption, you can install an LED headlight kit, which has a long lifespan and low consumption. Once you have obtained the headlight kit, proceed with the installation. The headlights should be installed at a height between 25 cm and 150 cm from the ground, and the distance between the two headlights must be at least 60 cm. Once the correct position is found, proceed to install the plastic supports where the headlights will be inserted. These headlights require a control unit that must be mounted inside the engine bay in a suitable position. After connecting the cables from the headlights to the control unit, connect the black wire to the negative terminal of the battery and the red wire to the positive terminal. At this point, it is necessary to run a wire into the cabin to connect a switch for turning the headlights on and off. Remember to turn them off when parking the vehicle.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
