Group Buy: Aftermarket Bixenon Headlights (WinPower Lamps)

[Tomatoes]

Keep us posted with the progress of the condensation.

I actually noticed some condensation on mine yesterday after we had a bit of rain, although it wasn't as bad as danielk's. Was gone this morning. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

Michael: those two bolts were actually quite easy to screw down, not sure if GTI is different, but it just needed some extra pressure from the screwdriver.

Mine have come perfectly fine and in working order

Yep, mine came today in perfect working order too.

How hard is the install? I got a quote a VolksMuller in Annangrove for approx $260 to install, im kinda tempted to get them to do it as i dont have to tools etc to do it nor the know how.

It's easy mate, all you need is t25, t30 torx head screw driver, an 8mm, 10mm ratchet set and approximately 2hrs fitting time.

The satisfaction you get far outweigh the hassle or ease of paying someone to do it for you mate.

A little observation and adjustment I've made during the install:



Make sure you put automotive tape(painter's tape) on the corners of your front fenders and the front bumper(circled bit) as you will more than lightly bump into them during install. Also don't take the plastic sheets off your headlights until its been hold in place by two screws as this will protect you new lights a little bit more.

Im not sure what happening with mine at the moment. The tracking says they have been delivered.... in "City of Guangzhou". Perhaps they sent them to themselves lol

Up to you but the installation seems easy as long as you borrow the right tools (that's what I'm doing) and you find someone to give you a hand.

I'll do it for $250 jks
I'm installing them with my brother on Sunday, if you need a hand I can come help you out as I'm in the hills district as well. I'll ask my brother if I can borrow his tools when I see him. The only problem is I work 6 days and I do weird hours at work (mostly afternoons and evenings)

I've got a mate who's helping me install them this arvo so I should be set - where did you guys attach the ballasts?

Underneath the headlight. There should be a little platform with screw holes, but it's not a clean fit, you might need to put the screw in at an angle.

[point]

how'd you guys reach the two upside down screws on the sides of the bumper?

[mui_michael]

10mm ratchet with or without extension mate.

[mui_michael]

These two right?
