Yeah thought as much, I asked when still under warranty and told it wasn't covered....? I'm still in contact with customer relations fighting the case.

As for my headlights condensation. Ive had them off and twice had them in the oven cooking for 20 mins all in all, then spent 5 hours in the airing cupboard. so far I've sealed the grommet and replaced and still nice and clear.

Late reply but I've been away for a few days sorting out a flooded house.

The problem with the lights is well known so it doesn't need to be under warranty.

Is there a TSB or similar for this by any chance?
Trying to convince the dealers here in Ireland is going to be next to impossible.

Just been looking at changing my current HID kit for a 55w HID kit. The current one I have installed an earth cable from the bulb to the earth points in the car.

The new kits I'm looking at say they have improved EMC/EMI ballasts. Does that mean that I would no longer need to install the earth cable or would you still carry on using it for peace of mind?
