Default I was told that was normal and I never had a problem. It burns off

after a few minutes. My new Xenons had it too this eve and it burned off by the time I got home.

Default They are replacing mine- for that reason...

plus the new ones (you might alreayd have new ones) have a slight diffrent color, they are much brighter white, not SUPER blue anymore. My girlfriend when driving in front of me, says they are incredibly bright.

but so you know, they are more white then blue now.

light housing where the old ones had the transformed mounted to the body of the car.

Default How do they look?

I had the old ones, very blue, and I really liked them. I am on the fence now, since i have one new one old. They are replacing both to make sure they are both the same

Default These headlights should NOT be replaced...

There was a TSB that clearly stated that the headlights are NOT sealed air-tight, condensation inside will happen and that it is <b>normal</b>, and more specifically, headlights should <b>not</b> be replaced for fogging.

The TSB was for older (96 - 99) vehicles, but I'm sure it still applies...<ul><li><a href="http://cory.charltonfamily.org/gti/vwtechcontent/audipdf/a949901.pdf">Headlight Fogging TSB</a></li></ul>
