Sounds good - I am not as brave and prefer to test in a laboratory I have put in a request to see if they will ship to the US.

To clarify: yes Audis have similar symptoms (fried wipers), but they are caused by a different set of problems. We have 80Hz, 80% duty cycle PWM, and a shared ground. Audi have EMI pickup through poor wiring harness routing.

I missed the lighting thread because of my holidays and now I feel left out :P If there is anything I love to blab about is car lighting, but all in all you did the right thing by ordering Skbowe

I will do a shameless plug here and point out this thread in sale section, as it may simply interest you, being in same country. PM me if you are interested, or even if not - happy to help with any retrofit project

To answer your earlier question regarding D2S or H7 - each option has its pros and cons, but main con is our NCT restriction. If you decide to go with D2S, your car will fail NCT same as mine would with H7 HID. Thats the reason I decided to go with H7 projectors, as its much simpler to just change the bulb before NCT and take away HID harness. Otherwise its no brainer - D2S will always be better but I didnt fancy swapping projectors and aligning the lights twice a year. Hence my H7 retrofit project.
