VW T5 to VW T6.1 Front End Facelift - Step by Step: Part 5 (Inserts, side repeaters & battery cover)

Рет қаралды 5,325

2 жыл бұрын

In this, the final video in our front end facelift series, we complete the last few jobs now that the van is out of paint. This includes fitting emblems, side repeaters, and front bumper inserts. We also look at how the existing T5 headlight and battery covers can be modified to fit the new T6.1 front end.
Note that HG Lifestyle paid the full price for this kit, receiving no discounts or payment from the supplier (as always) so that we can give a genuine and honest appraisal.
This kit was supplied by:

Great videos thank you I'll follow these when I convert mine in the new year, I know you finished your a while ago now but do you happen to still have and possibly want to sell the black transporter side emblems?

@highergroundlifestyle Жыл бұрын

Best of luck! Yes, I still have the emblems and a few other bits. Haven’t got round to the final clear out yet!

Chris, many thanks. You can find details of my programme and all costs in this video from the series: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZubaLWbyJynnZc.html I could have done things cheaper but this was a van done for us - so I wasn’t scrimping! Pretty certain we’d make our money back… Cheers. N

Hi, many thanks. No, there was no requirement for any re-programming - just wiring. Best wishes. N

To work, the DRL lights just need a switched 12 volt live. (A 12v source that turns on with the ignition)
