Nope  :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

Why... where you thinking that it would melt the film maybe?

Peeps on the S3 forum seem to have no problems, and I think they come standard with xenons..

well, not sure what it would do to the beam quality and maybe the heat too, although normal lights get hot too

Yeah good point really.

I guess you can only go on feedback from other who have tried it. I think theres a link on gti.co.uk to the topic on the S3 forum. I can find it for you if you want?

I upgraded my bulbs to some 80W ones, so hopefully it should be ok.

They do state that the film still allows 90% of light through, so I look forward to seeing whether thats just clever marketing, or the truth!!  :laugh:

Did you get the pre-cut stuff or the cut yourself sheet Joe. I've got a pre-cut kit ready to go on the S3, but after reading the destructions its seems the temperature needs to be a bit higher so hangin on till the cars in the garage which should be this weeken :happy2:
