[Vwdiesel] GTI/16V Grille Kit....

[Gerry Wolfe]

I have one in my '91 Jetta TD.  Took about 2 hr to install (I'm
semi-doofus).

The only glitch I came across was that the hood latch on the original rad
support was rivetted on.  Had to do the dremel thing and drill a couple of
holes and screw it into the new rad support.

Mine has H4 (high/low) 7" lights outboard and H1 (high only) inboard driving
lights.  High/lows also have a 5 watt "city light" that I have never
connected.  I initially used the original wiring and then later went to
relays, fuses and 12ga wiring all the way thru.  A significant difference in
output.  The light is much "whiter" if that's possible.  Output from the H4
high beams is such that I rarely find the need to use the driving lights,
even on the highway without traffic and speed concerns.

I also have a pair of Bosch 150 foglights mounted below the bumper.  They
also have the same wiring components.  BTW, unlike BMW and Pontiac Grand Am
and SUV drivers, I find no need for them in the daytime or when it's not
foggy.  Must be a difference in perspective or somethin'.

rgds, g.
