However, he did say that, as the Xenon lights get fecking hot, you need to take em off now and again otherwise they'll melt. Not sure in the truth behind this but thats my 2 pence worth!!

Get them fitted they will not cause any problems My wifes Polo has had them fitted 4.5 years and we have had no problems at all, the only problem is that we get flashed as the xenons are so bright.

HID Xenons actually run COOLER than regular halogen bulbs! so much for melting headlamp covers! they are lights, not laser beams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rommel Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Got mine fitted a couple of weeks ago at the dealer for 30 quid - which I thought was very cheap compared to the 75 quid they charged for replacing one of the sidelight bulbs that had gone in the xenon headlights!

Calm Chris Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Had mine on for 18 months (since I broke a head light). No problems with heat, after fitting, there's a natural 3mm gap between the plastic cover and the glass light cover. Remove them every 3 months just to clean the inside of the cover and the outside of the lens because water from road and washing will find the air gap area and taint the gap with dirty water.
