the washer jets and auto levelling are part of European & UK law, no idea what the laws are in South Africa.

so do the washers come in the 750 or do you have to pay extra for that aswell

the washer jets will come in as part of the package although most companies include them in "climate" packages too eg the MK4 had them in the winter pack so you paid less for the xenons if you ticked both boxes.

I've bought some oem bi-xenons from flea-bay and the adpter lead from Kufatec but there were no instructions with the adapter leads.

There's one open wire on the adapter lead that will need to plug in somewhere but I've no idea where. Has anyone done this?




The wire is to activate the BI XENON part.

I fitted a set to my caddy van BUT I could not get them to stop flashing  :embarassed:

Not 100% legal but at the moment you will get through an MOT - I know as I did in my previous car.

As for the headlight washer thing - I know they are needed in the UK and they tell us dirt can alter the light beam but nowhere does it say I have to keep them clean or ever use the headlight washers... another one of those silly little things.
