Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    My thoughts on this is that you should try better bulbs before going with something that's not factory and needs cleaning and levelling

    I could be wrong, but I don't think that car would have projector lamps.
    If you fit a hid kit to it you will blind everyone on the road. It just doesn't work.
    Put decent bulbs in instead.

    When I used to fit them to my Octavia VRs models ( Had projector lamps )
    I used a company on Ebay called Londoncolor.
    I used the non canbus H7 kits ( 4300 k ) Use a maximum of 5000k as anything above this and the light goes more blue and has a lesser output of brightness.
    Make sure the bulbs are metal based.!
    Also, as far as I recall, Use a 35watt kit, If you go for the 50watt, this used to result in your dims being brighter than your heads, rendering the heads useless.
    Anyhow,
    One set I fitted to my 2010 VRs in February 2011 is still going strong as I was speaking to the guy that bought the car from me 3 weeks ago and he informed me of this.

    I will repeat again though, If your car is not fitted with projector lamps, I would strongly advise against fitting them if you have any respect for oncoming drivers that you WILL blind.
