Not my words and I don't drink anymore. :tongue:

PS: I wonder if Amanda has (similar) warts? :evil: :grin:

On way home tonight, it definitely moves when the lights bend in to the corners.
I took a close look at the light when parked up and there is nothing on the lens or visible on the elements within. The mark is clear to see on a piece of paper in front of the light - it's as if it's catching on the lower bit of the reflective cowling.
I'll have to speak to VW, as it's like looking at someone with a massive wart on their nose - you can't help staring!!

Dragging this thread screaming and shouting back to topic.

Mines the same - we put it down to a rogue reflection from the chrome scoop thingys inside the headlamp units  :smiley:

TBH, I am sure Halogens are beset with worse problems, but as they are not as bright as the Bi-Xenons, this is probably less/not noticable. :smiley:

I'm much much happier with my warty xenon's than my candles in a box halogens  :wink:
I am sure you are. A well lit wart can be quite sensational.  :shocked:
Do you have one or the customary two?  :evil:
