Are the bulbs in the links the same for the A3 or does the S3 use different ones? Also, can anyone give me an idea of the cost for a complete set of aero wipers, inc new arms, caps etc?
in my experience they vary for particular models. best bet is to take each headlight bulb out and have a look on the back.
my a3 1.8tq were x2 h1 and x2 h4 wheres my 1.8t is x2 h1 and x2 h7
From talking to a guy off here (troopa) he mentioned that there can be issues with non-OEM bulbs. It sounded as though his needed to warm up before firing into life . . . any experience of this at all Welly?
Those were my thoughts exactly. May try this. Not that bothered as a mod though.
Yeah, sorry lad, not quite what I meant.
Troopa said that he needs to switch the lights on, turn them off, leave for 10 seconds then switch on again and they'll work (which obviously put me off somewhat).
I take it from what you have written, this isn't the case with the ones you've fitted?
Number plates without holes in them are always a winner. So get some made up, stick them to the car with velcro. Also means useful for removing during pictures, cleaning and putting personalised ones on for meets and events.
