Always thought that looks good. How easy is it to remove the light? As stuffing all that in with litte space is not going to be easy?

You need to remove the bumper, which is about 20 screws, the foglights and the 4 bolts for the headlights. Takes about 30 minutes taking it easy the first time (now about 10 minutes).
Then making it nice and neat inside the light taking care not to jam the adjusters takes a few minutes.

I took an afternoon slow time.

Or if you don`t have slim ballasts or just can`t be arsed with all that you could put them on the crashbar and route the cables through the gap under the headlights:

This is where I originally had them, before I changed my kit. You still need to remove the bumper though.

Just a quick question guys & girlies, Im thinking of fitting HID's to my Arosa and was just wondering if the ballasts get hot/warm at all ?

....and just like that they've arrived already. Will hopefully get them fitted soon but in the meantime can def recommend HIDS4U for delivery speed anyway.
