we just plugged them in and when u flash full beam that works fine but when you push full beam on fully is cuts out the xenons???????

yes i know, i think that is supposed to happen tbh...exact same with me, my cupra is in the garage will check to see if the same thing happens with them as they are twin standard. will let u know asap.
they look so much better

nah mate doesnt seem right, main beam is there too boost ur dipped beam, if you get a full beam that cuts out ur dipped beam it kinda cancels the whole thing out and makes it pointless, somethin aint right, i think some rewiring in my case needs done, oh and while on topic my adjuster works on the new lights :p, didnt do anything different my bro just put the motors in and they work no probz, so my only problem atm is these full beams cutting out dipped. otherwise were up and running. :D

paid yesterday spent today, decided just to go ahead and buy the new xenons, £105 discounted because im a loyal customer.

Could you not just get H7 Xenon's that where compatible with your ballasts?
Thats what I done, the first set of Xenon's I bought from on here (accessories for sale section) discovered they had no full beam what so ever, bought a pair of Bi-Xenon bulbs only for £28 on the bay, fitted them works a treat!

you might be onto something, i could maybe get h3 bulbs and have 2 sets of xenons in the car and hav my new set for dipped and old set for high, haha nah tbh im not caring now, if my old ones sell then they sell if not al shunt them up the loft for the time being, i guy local offered me £60 but i need to wait 3-4 weeks for him to get money so might see if hes still wanting them.
