A home made single wiper conversion on my mk1 golf years ago. Could never get it to sit right and one day just kept going round cleaning the bonnet :stupid:

Personally I think the WALK is my worst mods, in my view it only marginally aided traction.

And due to a sheared bolt in the part that it fits too, was a right pain in the ar$e and £££££'s to install.
Probably if the old part had just unbolted my view my not be so coloured of the WALK itself, but that's what happened.

good luck to you on that one matey, that would be way beyond my limited skill set, I don't even know if I can change a bulb on the xenons myself, due to them being xenons I have not looked into if they are a sealed unit or anything,,,, guess I will deal with it when and if it happens.
will prob be an emergency ( help me ) post in the future by me lol.
every other bulb I can do on most cars but xenons ?
let us know how you get on buddy but if it was me it would be an auto electrician I think

They work the same way as a halogen light pretty much .. the bulb goes into a holder there is a round plastic cap that goes over that then you put the igniter over that and a wee plug in the igniter gets plugged in ... relatively simple .. pretty footery but not 2 bad. Easier than it sounds anyway  :happy2:
