Mine arrived from www.hids-direct.co.uk this morning. I don't think Halfords do them.



+1 Got a set of these in the post this morning as one of my old ebay specials was doing morse code as i drove along giving me a bulb out on the dash  :fighting:

Once removed i could see that they had been running hot and scorched on the circuit board on both bulbs

These are brighter than my previous ones which were only 3smd and not 9smd but not stupidly bright like some that i've seen driving around lighting up the floor  :signLOL:

So far so good  :happy2: fingers crossed they last a decent amount of time

Will these work on my Audi?  :confused:

Just to confirm Justin (after my little story book further up) having tried these by swapping them out of my previous MK5 GTI which I still have access to, these work, but produce a DIS error as expected. They look great but you'd need to disable the cold plate lamp diagnosis with VCDS to avoid the error. You of course then get no DIS error if one of them blows either, but it's an average workaround.
