HM, give www.PowerBulbs.com an e-mail.  They also give forum members a discount, and they really are one of those rare things - a genuinely excellent company.

TT, I already spoke to them, they hadn't even heard of the H15 and didn't seem to think anyything would be coming down the pipe anytime soon unless lots more companies starting fitting them.  Considering DRL's will be the norm, maybe that will happen?

You're right though, great company, bought some Blue Visions from them, damn, didn't know about the forum discount, is there a code if you buy online?

OK, if they don't know about them at the mo, it won't be long.  But remember, PowerBulbs only deal with top quality OEM spec bulb suppliers, and not some cheap crap from the far east.

How about e-mailing Osram, Philips and GE?

Hi, been more than 6 weeks, and I have put the VW rubber juice on the seals and the car still makes the rubbery noises when I go up an uneven surface. Should I still wait a little longer till the car settles down? Anybody having the same issues with their spanking new cars?

Mine just plainly rattles :)

I got one source - the rubber under the bottle opener was not locked in place. Another source seems to be the electic window control module on the drivers door.

I will check the rubber bit in the centre console too, just in case... I must admit I am getting used to the rubber noises actually, that is, until I drive the BMW again... ha ha ha The BMW is really quiet... But thats the whole point I guess of me getting a GTI, wanna be in a sports wannabe car... he he he so cabin noise is expected!!

Anyone else having noises in their cabin?

TT, I ordered my bulbs from them but am still waiting for the shipment. Apparently the Dutch postal service returned the shipment for no rhyme or reason... so hopefully I will be getting them soon...

For information, I ordered the following:

Philips X-Treme Power H7 - GBP27.85 x 1 and got
FREE Philips Blue Vision W5W

Not on the GTI, but i did on the R. Found it got a little worse with warm to cold overnight weather, so as temperatures start to cool it should settle down. Its nothing to worry about :wink:
