Dont think the C version is even good for normal xenons.

Whats a good price for 2nd hand xenon (Golf R) complete units i.e. ballasts, bulbs, burners etc.

Don't think that's any good either.

Kenny, my search begins in March/April. But I don't think there will be much of a price difference anymore due to the exchange rates. :sick: :sad: So I'll just get the lot from Steve. Saves a lot of hassle and one knows he'll get all the correct bit 'n pieces for my particular car which he knows inside-out. :rolleyes:

Should have done it when the pound (Steve's sir name is Pound!, no pun intended) was stronger. But my Insurance Company held me back.

Ideally I would rather get 2nd hand xenons, then you generally will get the ballasts, bulbs, burners all with the unit.

^^^ It seams a bit hit and miss Doc which controllers do and don't support the Xenon's, the only thing i am sure of is D and E versions do work, and for LED xenon's you need software index of above 0575 and above.

Asker, you have version F in your car.
