Yep  ::)

I bought these of fleabay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOSCH-Xenon-HID-Conversion-Kit-H1-H4-H7-ect-UK-seller_W0QQitemZ200168334211QQihZ010QQcategoryZ72235QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

But not from this seller......i just did a quick search for bosch HID's and it produced this link.

Mine came from China  :o

Seem a good kit and a lot brighter than filament bulbs.......but a BIG grey area wether they are legal or not  :-/

I got the 4.3K ones which are the brightest  :y

they look good!

How do you find them when they get dirty? Cause HIDs are affected by just the slightest dirt...

It's not bad for me to drive. But is more dazling for other cars, so that I do clean very often.
I had the passat short time and I want sold soon, because was big mistake >:( and this is the reason why I did'nt fit the washer system. But In next time will be fix with washer system.

Its too much of a hassle to fit washers to the facelift the bumper has to be drilled and so on.

Its just easier to buy them pre-installed.

Of course, plus original comen with dynamic self adjust lights system-which is expensive and hard to do. But the washer, shut be easy if You have full original kit.

I think they are suited for projector headlights...not so sure about other types of lenses...my omega hasnt been cleaned for 2 weeks now.....about to clean it in a min.....and beam pattern is still spot on  :y
I have the adjuster set on 1 so they are a tad lower than normal  ;)

With dirt-for You it's no different, but for peopels from other site yes. I had done test: I did clean just one light, and I was watch from few metres ahead-dirt light was more dazzling compare to the clean one :(
