I don't have a facebook :? Indicators are working great, without any problems. In the first few days they were a little bit foggy, but now it's unnoticeable. :)

Would you mind telling us about moisture in the headlights after washing the car or driving after rainfall. Moisture build up would be a deal breaker for me (live in a very wet climate lol and my current ones look crap because of moisture)

Has your car been damaged?
Seriously these lights have a poor fitment.

Looks like the shape is wrong. None og the lines match up with the body.

After I installed the headlights I haven't washed the car yet and we didn't had a rainfall. :?
I talked to a few people and they said to me that if you live in a very wet climate, you put the headlights some place very dry(some kind of storage unit) for a few days and moisture is not a problem anymore. The guy who sold these headlights to me said that the moisture is problem for a first few days.

I think he is referring to the space between the bumper and the light.
If you remove the bumper and the bumper 'carrier' where the light rests on, there are some screws to re-adjust the height.
For exampe, if you look at where the grill meets the bumper and the point of the headlight, the allignment is a bit off.

I think that is why DKPOLOGT is mentioning it. :wink:

Well I didn't know that :? But my car hasn't been damaged or anyway fixed. Even with original headlights the alignment was a little bit off.
This weekend I have installed ambient light in front and rear foot wells and it looks really good. :)
Maybe some of you guys know where I could get tail lights in LED technology? :)

Have a nice evening! :)

Nothing to worry about, sometimes it simply doesn't fit that nicely.

No problem Ciclo! :) I have solved everything(except I didn't put the 12V socket back in place because of space problem) and turned out really great(more pictures are coming). :)

So today I took my Polo to carwash and there was a little bit of mist in the headlights, but after 30 seconds of switched light bulbs on there was no sign of any mist.
Few pictures of freshly washed :)
