If like me you are having problems with the headlamps misting up because you have not been supplied with a rubber bung/grommet. Here is a quick simple fix that I have come up with until I can source the proper item.

Find a bit of plastic packing (normally found in electrical appliance packaging) cut a piece a bit bigger than the size of the rectangular opening, drill or punch a 6 mm through the center then cut from the outer side to the hole. The 'bung' can then be clamped around the bulb lead and the pushed into the rectangular hole.

The following picture should help explain the above instructions

I just taped mine up with black insulating tape, no misting are there proper bungs for these?

+1 or the bulb holder is incorrectly fitted and not making a good contact.

Fixed, bulb holder contacts, now bent upwards

Ta chaps

Can someone who has these but hasnt fitted them measure the hole in the back? I can then get some bungs sorted and link to them.

Sorted the "bung" problem out today! Got hold of an old rubber sanding block from my shed and set to work with a dremel and a jigsaw! The results please me!! Haha!

Hi Matt, if you have standard bulbs your indicators and side light bulbs can be directly switched over. Your dipped beam bulbs (H7) can be fitted into your new headlamps as main beam bulbs. Then you need to purchase a D2S HID kit, they are available from about £50 up (you don't need can bus or slimline versions but it does not matter if you do buy one of these). If you buy one of the cheaper version you will get Chinese bulbs with them these are OK but possibly not as bright as the European bulbs. Also you need to find a bung or some way to blank off the hole in the back of the cover of the headlamps to stop moisture entering the headlamp. Job Done

Wicked I dont need the adapter thingy that was pictured a few posts back then?

Cheers

Not if you get a D2S HID kit no. If like others on here, and you already have a H7 HID kit then we used the ballasts but needed the adapter to go from H7 to D2S

Ahhh I see. I have a H7 kit, but they are a bit bluer than I would like and they were cheap ones from a few years back now so I fancy some new ones if I go for these. Any recommendations for decent D2S kits? I can only find bulbs :'(

Cheers for the help!

Use the ballasts from the H7 kit then buy the D2S adapters then a set of D2S bulbs (4300k are the whitest/best oem match)

Its the K rating of the bulbs that govern the bluey colour, the highter the K rating the bluer the light colour and the less useable the light beam on the roads.

I went for

35w HID Ballasts from my old H7 HID setup

4300K D2S bulbs

Or something like this in 4300k

Hummmm, I could do that. My mate wants some 6000k bulbs for his OEM projectors, sooooo . . . . . I could just pinch his old 4300k bulbs and get the adapter! Good thinking He thinks projectors make the bulbs look less blue, so I can decide which bulbs a like without buying any then too. Ha, cheers for the help buddy

Well I've finally got them fitted.

Light output looks great.

Not had a chance to test them driving yet, as I want to get them aligned tomorrow first before I start blinding everyone.

Not had any problems with the adjuster screws like some have said either.

I did have to swap back to the original indicator bulb holders though, as the ones that came with them didn't work. Swapping bulbs over made no difference either. Same on both sides. :(

Looking good

Just remembered I had to use the original indicator bulb holders as well, the bulbs just wouldn't go into the new ones!

On my old headlamps I used to have a headlamp surround which I had fixed LEDs which pointed in towards the reflector which caused the whole headlamp to light up when I switched the sidelights on.

Old Picture

Unfortunately the new projector headlamps have a wider main beam reflector which does not line up with the old headlamp mask. I was thinking of cutting the vertical slat off and with a bit of plastic padding and some spraying put it back on the headlamp, but first I thought I try something different.

Heres what I came up with

During the day

At dusk but with flash on the camera

At Night

The camera does not really do it justice but I quite like it, but need to make them brighter to match the side lights

Comments criticisms welcome

Karl

Im not even going to bother to attempt this lol

Great job as usual

Can those who have these lights read and reply to this thread please? Cheers

Just a quick post to say thanks to scott for sorting the group buy, I emailed the woman Monday asking if I was to late to be included and she gave me the group buy price. Cant wait for them to arrive now! Ordered a new HID kit to go with them too.

Matt

I'm going to try and follow suit a.s.a.p. Hoping the £45 group buy for D2S kits comes off as well.

Yeah I thought if I can get it for a bit less than the advertised price it`d be enough to justify doing now. I haddnt spotted the group buy on bulbs before I bought mine on ebay but they were only £60ish so no biggy.

So you paid £184.99?

Yup! I sent >

"Dear wingmirrorwoman,

Hello, I`m not sure if i`m too late to jump in on the group buy from briskoda, if so any chance of a deal on a pair of them?

Cheers"

"Hi,

Yes please send £184.99 to [email protected]

Thank you"

Do it Jason, you know you want to :-p

I do want to, yes! Shall see what I can sort out tomorrow. I kind of wish I could dump it on the credit card rather than using paypal though

aha! my card is logged on my account. Shall see about this tomorrow then!!

Hmmm this car is costing me a fortune!! Damn briskoda haha :p

In theory should save a bit in uprated £20+ H7 dipped beam replacements too....
