i fitted mine last week and it was pretty straight foward, hardest part is trying to secure the ballast. i ended up mounting the bracket on the inside of the wings

i was gonna do what rash cupra did and hide the ballast, what size does the hole saw have to be to fit the grommet.

for my hids it was 25mm diameter. you wont believe the difference when you fit them there so much brighter than the standard bulbs.

You will get good fitting instructions from HIDs4u as I know, just don't drill the holes too big in the light covers like I did!

(im tryin to use pre-facelift bumper removal instructions from forge intercooler thingee lol)

on the cupra bumper theres the screws in each wheel well, the screws underneath, screws under bonnet and 2no at the front of the car through the grill itself.

cheers lads for all the help done it now and even had them aligned, only thing is whilst messing about with the car i noticed there is a split in the oil filler neck, there is oil vapour leaking out when the car is warm, not massive amounts, should say its been like that since new, but does need sorting quick time.
