Headlight loom
I'm not sure if VW changed the wiring to the Mk2 wiring which I assume is better.
Ultimately can someone tell me if the loom in my car is better than earlier Mk1 Golfs? I remember a user on here upgraded their bulbs for higher wattage ones which were still legal and want to know if my car could cope with the extra power or if the wires would melt with the additional heat created?

I bet you will see a marked improvement if you fit a relay and loom

You can either buy a new loom and relays (from crazyquiff?) or make it up from heavy wire and connectors - only takes a couple of hours to do the whole job. I've got 80/100w bulbs in and the difference is tremendous…very tempting to go for even higher bulbs, but have resisted so far. Wouldn't risk using them without heavier loom and relays though!
