Yep they are rubbish.

I retro fitted HID headlights.  Amazing but caused errors so took em out.

Just buy some updated bulbs. I believe I have Phillips ones. Cost about 25£ much better.

Also the cornering bulbs. If you have them. Swap em for LED

Teams for your replies and help,what surprises me with the custom,as everything else is good and well thought out in my opinion.


I really am surprises how bad the headlights are
 
Are the bulbs easy to fit ?

Yep, couple of bolts to take the head lights out

Whilst your there, I would think about sticking a cover over your ecu. Its easier when you've taken the head lights off, and the ecu can potentially get some water damage do to a dodgy design
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

If you think they are bad, try a mk7 transit.
