Hi and welcome

Great that you found some good info! Andy welcome!

Welcome to the boards

Welcome dude

One of the cars I test drove before I got the Octy was a Mondeo 2.0 tdci. The drive was OK but the build was terrible! Everything looked nice but felt like it was going to fall off at any time. Plus, it's a Ford! 'Nuff said The drive on the Octy was far superior

Thanks Carl The flashing starts on one light no matter what - it was like a strobe while I was driving down the road to the point I turned them off and put fogs and sidelights on. A few have assured me it is just a faulty ballast. The other light was rock steady and looked great when driving - but didnt really get that much chance to see what they were like - I am sure i will next week Andy

OK ill check with them about the corrector but I get the feeling its an all in one kit but I get no OBC errors so no need to have the capacitor but thanks for checking Andy

35 seems very high - I use 2 & 2.1 bar on mine

I cant see me moving away from Diesel - the engines are incredibly economical and versitile. I have the vRS and can quite happily manage 55mpg on a round trip from Warrington to Burton on Trent. After 340miles, I haven't quiet gone through half a tank!

Both sides have only 2 visible parts. The bulb with cables connected then the ballast with cables. I am pretty sure it is just the ballast because if I change sides with it, it makes the other bulb flash. I have mailed them but will call them tomorrow to get a replacement arranged.

I am just hoping that the support from www.hids-direct.co.uk is OK!

OK so I got the HID kit fitted but the second one i fitted doesn't work properly. When you switch on the engine, the right one fires up no problem. However, the left one starts to fire up then starts flashing. However, if i switch the lights on and let them warm up before switching the engine on, it appears to work just fine! I have tried swapping them and then it does it to the other bulb. Anything I can try or it one of them just faulty? Andy

Ah that's a long wait! But a great car Welcome to Briskoda

First, welcome to the forums Second, you will get more Fabia owners checking the Fabia forums

Well, the kit is here and tomorrow morning I will be removing the headlights for the first time - actually does look quite straight forward

Seen these before with just a hole cut in the mesh for the lever to come through - Not too bad if you are painting it black, but loots terrible in silver!

Good man, you made the best choice And welcome to the forums

Greetings and welcome to Briskoda

Well the car is back into the garage on Tuesday so will see what they come up with

Hehe that is so wrong! Welcome to the boards as well

Plus, you only need to be going up a slight incline and that can be enough to dazzle. Looking forward to seeing what the outcome of mine will be

I have used them a fair bit at the point were this has happened, but just not hard - its almost like they are bedding in, but I can see no note that they have been changed
