just don't do it fella I've been stung by the wiper motor packing in its not worth it for some brighter lights that are illegal anyway there are a good few different bulbs out there now that replicate xenon white light osram and phillips are good onesCheers for that chaps....are there any decent bulbs out there that give a more crisp whiter beam??
mine lasted for about 5 months i think soon as i found out what caused my wipers to pack up i took them out and sold them prontoI put HIDs on my A3 and after about 5 mins the wipers packed up
I've ordered some of these:
For Sale Brand New 6500K H1, H7, H11 Bulbs! - Civinfo
From the comments on the thread, people seem happy.
I had HID's already installed in my A3 when I bought it... Took them out after a week as they were flickering... I've got standard yellow bulbs in at the minute as i'm waiting for delivery. I'll post some pics when I get them if you want? Should be tomorrow or Thursday.

Thread hijack in process...
So everyones saying to go for uprated bulbs rather than HIDs, i understand its the better option for the A3 and obvious being legal its what should be done etc etc. But i duno what everyone elses opinion is on this, im becoming more and more away of cars with super bright halogens and they are to my eyes just as dazzling as HID kits with scattered beam patterns. Granted my eyes are more sensitive to light at night than the average person (something to do with the receptors in the back of my eyes) so i notice brighter lights alot more as i get dazzled quite easily sometimes (particularly when my eyes are strained or tired).
My point here is, everyone raves on about how bright and dazzling HIDs are, and they are but with these newer bulbs getting brighter and brighter, they're becoming just as bad.
My rear wiper motors already fubbered, so im getting HID's at the end of the month. The one thing i will say to you is if you're going to buy them and u dont have projectors in ur lights then do yourself and everyone else a favour and buy some H7R bulbs. Even though its still not legal to have HID's these are at least less dazzling to other road users. The R bulbs have a coat in the right places so the beam pattern stays as close to originally intended as possible. You will also need metal based bulbs as the plastic ones don't fit because they're too big.
Can't see from the link exactly what you bought mate. You have to sign up to the Civic forum to get the info !! (I think !!!!!!)
Can you provide a different link please ?
Fuse or the actual motor? I'm confused now, i thought my rear wiper was forked cos someone had HID's in them previously before i bought it. Im pretty sure my rear wipers blown cos the fuse is fine. But i've seen a few A3's running HID kits perfectly fine :s, i saw one about a week ago. First Gen 8P, 53 plate i think.... any ideas?
Sorry... I bought some H7 bulbs from a user called MRJP over on CIVINFO... Found the thread with a google search, read through and then signed up to buy a pair for £16.50 delivered!
Here's the before and after on a Civic... We're looking at the dipped beam lights here mind.
The seller who seems very reputable claims they're road legal... Not sure what watt they are?
Got the bulbs... Here's a comparison.
I'll post another when it's reet dark!
These are meant to be decent a few members on here use them, although im confused as to what the fog fitting is as i've heard H7 and H11.

They do the H7 kit iswell Main/Dipped/Fog/Side Beam Headlamp Bulbs 55w Super White H7 H7 H7 501 Xenon | eBay
For £15 for the whole set I think I might give it a go. The standard A3 side lights are the most useless things i've ever seen!
They look really well.......a cheaper and less damaging alternative to HIDs
