In Audipt.com (portuguese forum) there are reports of users with this HID that ended up with a broken motor.
I know because one user from that forum had to send the motor to us to be repaired.
It took 2 years for the wiper motor to fail.
The user was saying in the forum that his HID & motor were perfect for 2 years until one day the motor died.
In Portugal & other countries some people usually sell this HID as "PHILIPS" or "PHILIPS Patent" even it's obvious PHILIPS has no relation at all with this kits.
They call them PHILIPS CANBUS PRO.
KIT BIXENON CANBUS PRO 2 (Fosta PHILIPS) H4 55 WATI (4300 KELVIN) - #928353821
Here the details in the portuguese forum:

Basically he is saying:
"HID was installed almost 2 years ago & motor still working until now. Everything perfect, 5 stars!"
"Madlima29" has been selling this PHILIPS CANBUS PRO HID kits on Audipt.com forum for a while.
He installed that HID to the user "Marcio Amorim" & told him it was safe to use those HID kits.
But 2 years later his motor died & he contact us to repair the motor.
I have been working on the Audi A3 & wiper motor problem for the last 7 years.
We found out that the 25.000v that the ballast use to power the bulbs were the problem.
Audi A3 OEM ballast & bulbs do not have that problem because they work in a different way than aftermarket HID kits.
I know for some of you will be hard to believe but be found the problem in 2008 & we did fix it.
We manage to avoid the interference by controlling the high voltage from the HID kit.
