There's bloody condensation inside my headlight now after all the fcukin about with it! Took care not to touch the bulb but i suppose it's with my hands getting warm.
Is this going to be an issue or will it just clear on it's own? It's raining which probably isn't helping! :angry:

It's just one of those things mate, just not getting a 100% seal. It will go away once your lights are on but it's still annoying. I have tried hairdryer on it before to remove the moisture inside then getting a better seal but it always came back, that was on my old polo though, not had an issue yet with my Golf.

Still no signs of my LED number plate lamps, VW said come back MARCH.

Welcome to the Soviet Unions mid 80's shopping experience  :sad:

Reminds me of the time when I crashed my Renault Clio and had to wait 3 months to get the air bag replaced!

Finally got round to fitting my new Philips 501 w5w sidelight bulbs today. Took the front bumper off, easy enough! Still couldn't find the bulb holder so I opened the cap to the indicator housing & inside was the sidelight bulb holder (no need for the bumper to come off then!!). :undecided:

Changed the blue coloured factory fitted sidelight bulbs (which give off a yellow tint (compared with the xenon main been lights) with my new Philips 501 w5w bulbs in minutes. However they give off the same yellow light?? :sad: Doc which bulbs did you fit??

Im sure he says in the xenon thread in the maintenance section. Iirc its a LED canbus type rather than a bulb.
