Hi havent been a member long and havent had to post anything till now!! i noticed that the hid discharge headlights are only on the wrc version!! well i noticed a set on ebay and have won them bear in mind these are just the headlights that house the discharge kit no bulbs or anything!!!!
what i wanted to no is what bulb is the xeon bulb as skoda want £120 each and im goin to need 2
and then i will need the control box to power them up and thats anouther £112 each
i thought it would be a good idea to xeon on these with the proper headlamps but for that price for the rest of it it's mad

can anyone help me is there anouther kit that fits the skoda ones off a vw or summin,
and when i change them how do i seperate the high beam and low beam thanxs ian

You would also require the front and rear axle load sensors,which adjust the beam level,and also headlight washers.
The xenon lights were an option,and were around £500 i think.
If you do decide to go down this route, you can get lamps cheaper at powerbulbs,and get a discount but i think you need to be a freedom member.

they were standard on L&K's - check out your local wreckers. Bear in mind that if the air bags have been deployed the control units will be permanently disabled (this is a legal requirement to try to prevent the voltage causing fire in the event of an impact).

I'm pretty sure the option price for Xenons with washers when I bought my car was £660

Xenons were available as an extra for all Octys and were about £600 however you buy the bits separately to do this aftermarket and they sting you for it.

you need a lot more then just the houseing etc m8 and by the looks of things you gonna be forking out a fair bit more and like you said the bulbs are bloody expensive but they do look ooOOOOoOOo so cool

The control units are more than £120. They're more like £300 per side IIRC.

The bulb type in the Octavia Xenon's is a D2S (for dipped). I think the standard bulbs are about 4200k

To do it properly, you would need both load sensors (front and rear), wiring looms, control units (2), D2S bulbs, headlight washers (nozzles, pipe work, larger tank, wiring, pump etc etc ).

If it's possible, then it will be very expensive and pointless. The only realistic option is to buy a set of D2S bulbs and an after market kit to run them. Just remember that you won't have self leveling so strictly speaking they wont be road legal.

HIDS4U might be able to help you out.

There was a massive thread on cupra.net about how legal aftermarket hids are.

It worth a read as there were quite a few arguments about it all including getting round the washers and self leveling elements

Unless you're prepared to replace the headlamp units, forget it and fit some 50% brighter bulbs from Powerbulbs.

its finding a set of ds2 bulbs that are aftermarket thats the problem?? i have the headlamps sitting in my room and im dying to fit them just cant find a kit to fit it, they will be self leveling as the motor of the old headlamps fit the new ones so i can still adjust them, but they wont adjust themselfs as the load sensors wont be fitted!!! and the headlamp washers aint a problem as i am very fussy and always keep the car clean

anyone got any advice on were to get these bulbs as looking at the headlamps the look big and round and i cant see how they fix in
is this them (hope the link works) VWvortex Forums: FS: OEM HID / Xenon DS2 Bulbs (Osram Xenarc 66040)

Hey all, sorry if i have missed something in this tread, i have a White MK1 Ocy Vrs its the same speck as the WRC but no external grafix or number plack on the dash. It has got the HID headlamps fitted, am i right in thinking the bulb are D2S`s? I want them to be whiter than they are. On my Type R i had Retro fitted a set of H4 6000k hids and they were amazing, the standard ones on the ocy are very good, but not as good as the one i fitted to my type R. An help would be great guys. Cheers. Sam.
