Yes did it myself, had the car in pieces and it was only 9 months old  :shocked:

Not sure I would do it again, I had them on my MK5 and thought I wouldn't miss them but that didn't last long  :evil:

So then to sum it up so far bulbs recommended are:

Osram night breakers
Phillips blue vision
Bosch plus 90 H7

Maybe as discussed in another thread the H7 bulbs are too bright, I take it the H7 is something to do with the wattage/brightness?

Any other suggestions on these bulbs or any other?

Thanks very much for the feedback guys  :wink:

H7 is the fitment type.
