Ive just upgraded to these too.Abit of a fiddle to fit but be patient and it'll come together im sure.A tip too is to test them before reconecting them to headlight as they're polarity contious so it's a 50/50 chance either of them could be around the wrong way.Another nice bulb upgrade i did was the rear number plate bulbs to L.E.Ds much like the new range of BMW cars it makes it seem alittle more modern.Heres the link just incase you're interested and they take 2 minutes to fit.

You had any problems with these Brad? I've heard they can be quite temperamental

Hey Tim na i havent had any problems at all,my brother also has them in his S3.Im not sure what can make them tempramental,its just a straight swap for the standard bulb.Possible poorly made batch with dry joints or something?.Been fine for my brother and i,i think you shold get some go well with your HID's and sidelights

I am also looking to upgrade my lights so am I right in saying that....

the general problem is water getting into the fitting and the LED lights getting damp - they corrode and short. That happened to a few sets on mine, even with different bulb holders.

Ah i see,ill have it see how mine last over time.Only thing i could say may be worth doing alex is to put a sleeve of clear heatshrink over the board area of the LED's that way the LED will still illuminate and the heatshrink will keep the moisture off of the circuit board.Or add an additional O ring around the holder?.

Yes bang on Ben. The full beams are an expensive upgrade but are damn worth it. two sets of HIDs gets you through any situation. It's a worthy investment as well because you can take them out and put them in your next car if need be.

Cheers for that Tim
They are next on the ever growing list

Ben,
