Vex182 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Ive been getting on well with my Hids which I think are the same as them. Done about 1k miles with them so far. Not as good as the OEM on the Audi but good enough to keep me happy lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hids install. Needed to fit them upside-down to avoid the "black line" affect. These are the lower 43k OEM look bulbs with 35w ballasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vex182 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Ah right I see. I fitted mine with the h7 pin facing down like all reflector headlights apart from some Renaults. I don't gave the black lines but always felt the aim is to low even from factory with them set at the highest setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryPL Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Car's looking good. Seems you have found a new love! What was wrong with the LED H7s that you got? I was thinking about getting them myself, as I don't want the hassle from Ford should I install a HID Kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I found the LEDs to be no better than the osram Nightbreaker laser bulbs I'm using now. Hids on the other had are a huge improvement.

Willy Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 So the the STs developed its first fault. I had my suspicions that the seat was reclining on its own and read up that other members have experienced the same. I marked the adjuster with blutac and low and behold the knob turned about 45° in the last week. Looks like a trip to the dealership soon 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryPL Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The seat problem is certainly on my list of gripes. I have a 3 door though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
