    I have also swapped the standard H4 units with biode lights on my
    euro A/C fitted 505 GTI (ZJDL). There are 2 versions of the biode,
    one with a yellow ballon over the H1 bulb, other without. I have the
    yellow one.

    The hard part is to get the H1 bulb holder, else you'll have to use a
    piece of solid wire to hold the bulb in place (like I did).

    Fitting was piece of cake, I'm sure N9T's are different, but then
    again, the biode were standard equipment on almost all N9Txxs and
    ZN3Js.

    I wired them so they light up when I turn on the rear fog lights.
