Well i have been back to check them today, and bulbd was on for 1 minute, it flickered a few times, then went out!
So is it a duff bulb peeps???
Can't drive the car now until i find out what it is

Try swapping your bulbs or ballasts side to side and see if the problem follows the bulb or ballast.
Yeah swapped ballast this morning...
and the good bulb that was working fine, started flickering, so obvisouly a problem with the ballast....
the guy on ebay was checking im not canbus, which im not, and will then set up an RMA, just hope i don't have to pay the postage!

Didn't get chance to get any pic's this weekend, the weather was total sh$%e!
Will get them when I can, and post them up.
Are you sure...??
Thought all Leon's were H7 for dipped, and H1 for High/Main.
I have angel eyes on mine, and both bulbs are H1's I was shocked too lol
<Alan Partridge voice on> Aha <Alan Partridge voice off>
If you haven't already have a look for the various threads about the modifications needed to get the bulbs to fit into the holders...
Well, japanese guy is issuing a RMA for me, so will let me send the ballast and bulb back to get a replacement

I don't know about getting the ballasts wet, but aren't they supposed to be waterproof? Unless they're submerged or something then I know that'll probably short out the ballasts.

You can put them on that tray, you just need to make sure water can't collect in it - i took the tray out and drilled loads of holes in the end nearest the wing as that seemed to be the worst part for it.
Just in case you haven't checked; are your headlight fuses both okay? might be why the replacements don't work.
