There are LED and non LED versions on ebay from Germany, £870 and £708 respectively :(
Doc, you did well to that price!

That is a very good price. Does this include VAT and is this price for the non-LED Xenons (which I like)?
Can't wait for you to look at the manual levelling. If it works, then I'll most probably trek up to you for help and installation, if you don't mind.
I wish, I wish I had ordered Xenons from the factory.  :cry:
Just shows by the length of this thread that Xenons are tops in popularity.

I think there are at least 6 of us who really yearn for them. :cool:

Make that 8 of us :( My Ibiza Cupra has Xenons, given they aren't that good, I've had them on the old Audi I had, am seriously gonna miss them :(

Think it was £320 plus vat with my discount applied for a group buy (non led) not much more for the LED version I'll check on Monday.

I'm not having any issues blinding people and manual adjustment takes a min with a standard screwdriver if you really must  :wink:

I had a passenger get in the rear as a test and all was well, having said that I don't accelerate hard often which is when you'd have issues, but only momentarily.

I'll make a short video over the weekend to demonstrate how non intrusive they are.

I'll try to drag myself into work next week and look inside the halogens and start making headway into leveling but it's not top of my list right now  :wink:

Ok I give in  :laugh: :laugh:

Just ordered the adapters from Kufatec, going for the LED version of the lights so will need a new BCM as well.

Will leave the cornering and self leveling until later, have the washers already as I have the winter pack  :smiley:

Very interesting, I thought SteveP had to get a new BCM to get the LEDS to work properly.
