Hello there,

I have a 2003 Audi A6 Avant with standard headlights. A couple of months back I got an HID kit fitted to my H7 driving lights by an auto electrician.

All was well and night driving was much improved until last week when one of the lights failed and on having it checked today by the same electrician I discovered that the rubber housing of the HID bulb had melted and this had caused smoke damage to the lens and the whole headlight housing.

I am pretty well resigned to the fact that the whole headlight will need replacing but I wondered if anyone out there knew of a way to disassemble it so that it could be cleaned and repaired.

If not then does any one here know if would be in a position to ask for compensation from the company who sold me the kit?

I'm sending the broken bulb back today and they have said that they will replace it.

Any advice appreciated.

Stephen.
