Oh and three questions for the ones who recently installed their xenonlook headlights:

- Do I need to adjust the two nuts on the headlights for correct fitment? (see foto!)
- Is it enough to just slide the bumper a little forward, or do I need to remove the whole bumper?
- Are these all concerning bolts, or is there more involved? ->

Iv just fitted these this weekend. We took my bumper off, very easy to do. I adjusted those nuts highlighted to match the headlights i was taking off and they fit well.

yes you need to used those bolts to align the lights to your bodywork/wings. I just undid all of the top and side screws and pulled the bumper forward.If there are 2 of you you may aswell take the whole bumper off.

Yes that's all.
But this doesn't guarantee that wiper motor won't fail...

yes it's all down to the ballast you have that determines if your wiper dies or not.

Can anyone suggest a decent kit that could be used with headlights to prevent the wiper issue?
