If you go on eBay there's loads on there listed for Vw, think(but don't hold me to it) they have the error free ballasts & come with bulb holders.
I'm more supposed that you haven't had any reply saying you shouldn't do it due to the legality side of things

Was going to but cba. Although while I'm here I will say I can't stand these hid kits. Sick of people putting them in cars with reflector style headlights which causes one big bright glare coming towards you at night. To say some of them are blinding is an understatement .

I'm still yet to witness or hear of anyone actually using one of those kits I always mention in these threads, the ones designed for non projector lights. I want to know if they actually solve the problem or not

Wow do i? What posts have i slagged off? Thats my opinion regarding hid kits. And there is an awful lot of people out there that think the same not just me mate. End of the day it is your car you do what you want. Long as your happy thats all that matters. Slag my car off if thats what you want to do. Im not fussed. Although my car is a stock car with white interior leds so not much you can slag off about it. This is an open forum where people can voice there opinions about anything. Not everyone is going to like something you like.
