Noticeable differences?

Nice one mate! Looks awesome! Glad you got it all up and running. If you got em from xenonz I told him that you needed to jump the wires to get the LED's working in auto and he said he'd do something about it, didn't know he took it seriously!

Coding was just to remove the errors

Thanks pal. And also thanks again considering your feedback to him saved me a good £100 or tank of fuel probably .
 
Hopefully i'll be able to get the gap out between the xenons and front bumper on the left side as its letting moisture behind the headlight from the headlight washers . and get the bulb out error sorted... hoping that shouldn't be too costly.

Other than that i'm all good now! Apart from an annoying rattle between 1500-2400rpm  Hopefully an easy fix.

Stage 1 after Christmas me thinks!

A gap between the bumper and the lights won't make them steam up. Water will get down there even if they are fitted correctly as there is no seal in that gap.

Issues with condensation in the lights will be to do with the lights themselves. Most likely a pinched seal on the bulb access covers on the back. As Rebecca said, silca gel should sort it out if it's not too bad, once you've checked that no more moisture can get in

Haha! Skip the stage 1! Go straight to an APR stage 3 k04 turbo swap :p that's my dream.

I think I can help you with your light-bumper gap..when you fit the headlights, theres a little tab on the bottom of the headlights that you need to hook onto a tab on the bumper to hold it down under tension - I skipped this the first time round and I also had a gap. But when I took a closer look, I realised I missed a tab! Worth having a look I reckon. Don't think the condensation is to do with that though mate!

Now buy some 6000K HID's to get your main beams matching with those LED's!

Haha... i just can't justify that around manchester city centre... and the amount of front tyres i'd steam through.

I remembered this from one of your posts... and we actually encountered a problem here. The front right had the tab your talking about and we made sure that was fitted, however when we came around to installing the left, there was no tab or like cone thing to slot the headlight into, strange, so we fitted it as best we could. Gotta take it to a vag specalist anyway to get that bulb out on my dash sorted so i'll get them to look there as well.

Dubber or Booth, would i have to remove the headlight to apply silicia gel? I wouldnt know where to look to find a pinched seal 

Just had a spin around since it's dark... i got a few flashes from people, 3 on a 10 minute drive... i know xenons are pretty bright since i sometimes think oncoming cars have their high beams on. but do you think mine might be pointing upwards abit more than they should?

Thanks guys

Have a read of this thread re silica gel packs and how to insert them.  It's not a gel you apply but little sachets of silica crystals you pop into the lights to absorb moisure.  You can get them on amazon or ebay.

You often get flashed by other non xenon drivers.  Has happened on my last 2 xenon cars.  You'll soon stop worrying about it.

Thanks Booth, will have a go at this tomorrow, found some silica gel in my multivitamin tub which i'll use

Did you get your lights aligned after you fitted them?

Hmm no, havent had time yet, that essential is it?

Yeah dude, otherwise they'll be shining too high and blinding oncoming traffic! These Projectors are designed to cast a beam towards the left of the road so you'll illuminate signs and stuff, rather than right and into oncoming traffic. Theres white adjuster screws - use a torx screw to adjust em. Theres one for horizontal and one for vertical.

If you google it you'll find the standards - or do what I did and take em to a friendly MOT place and have em do it for you for free
