Hmmm....... will have a think about that.

Will see if any other members have fitted them into a MK6 / MK7 first and see what the damage is under the bonet lol.

What is the expected life on these bulbs?

Depends how long the car lasts haha for example if you crash it within a year of the HIDs being fitted, thats the life of the car.

I know they dont I was joking. Its at least 3000 hours of constant use which is something like 125 days of contiuous use. They are used for maybe an hour or two a day so thats a long time.

Its anything between 10 and 30 times the life of a halogen bulb :)

I know...im thinking i shouldve had a lie in! it was nothing really just i park infront of one, and i always kinda quickly straighten up and then stop just infront of it only today i took longer to straighten up and banged into it! Infront of a colleague who i had just frantically waved at. Not one of my best moments! :oops:
