Yeah mine had normal halogen bulbs, but iv now got 8000k HID's is that gonna be a problem lol? I do now have the jets and hoses for sale if your still interested AaronGS ?? As regards to deleting them, i just removed jets and the hose that runs along the front, then found a nice big bolt to wedge in the pipe that comes from the pump, a bit of sealant and job's a gooden :)

The problem you have is that you have fitted aftermarket HIDs into reflector headlights that were not designed for them.

By the absolute letter of the law, only factory HIDs should be allowed. They must have headlight washers (dirty lenses deflect the brighter light and could dazzle) and automatic headlight levelling with front and rear axle sensors (again to prevent dazzling when loaded or driving on an undulating road)

For the complete low down on HIDs see the July issue of PVW.

As for your washers, there is no problem with deleting them from your halogen headlights as your HIDs should not be there.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
