Mine are all good with an HID kit. Weren't great with H7's. I do live in London so it's rare I'm driving on unlit roads but they've been good when I do come across the odd one! Would say they are definitely an improvement over OEM halogens and 10x better in terms of looks!

I was a bit concerned as another member got some a couple of weeks ago, and has since returned them, as one headlight misted up and he said the light output was shocking?

I noticed one of mine was misting up a week after they were fitted.i checked the back cover was fitted properly, it was a bit skewif. Put it on properly and no problems at all since.

The member in question also had a motor fail, which is another concern.

If it helps, these are the ones I've been running trouble free for over four years in my vRS -

I have had these on my car since Jan this year with the HID kit you recommended back then.Thanks by the way.
Only thing you may want to do is the 6 o'clock mod with the bulbs.I found the light output with standard bulbs to be quite poor but fine with the hid kit.Originally was 5000k but now 4500K bulbs. Contemplating upgrading to a 55w HID kit but will probably stick with the kit i have as seems fine.
