Cheers Dan.

I had a look at genuine igniters and ballasts but they are really expensive.  Will that hids direct kit work with your xenon headlamps? Anything else needed apart from the 12 to 10 pin loom?

you can't use cheapy aftermarket HID kits in proper xenon housings, bulb types etc are different.
buy proper ballasts.

my ballasts are on my bulbs having d1s bulbs on the rocco, bulbs are 80 quid each.

Cheers jay,  thats the answer i was looking for.

I remember on my polo 6n2 i got away with using an aftermarket hid kit on the oem projector headlamps, thought it might have been the same on the golfs.

Ill keep looking for a genuine set.

Thanks
