Been running some NIghteye H7 for a year now and they're still working. However, last week I was getting the AFS error but intermittently and the Nighteyes were still operational before the warnings. Upon inspection, it looks as if the socket connections themselves had come a bit loose so I got the pliers out and gave them a wee nip. No more errors.....yet!

Personal preference is for in the car for security, bikes can be pricey nowadays! Second would be roof rack, just watch out for multi storey car parks 😂

2 months!

Just had mine fixed, only just out of warranty 🙄. My local dealer spoke to VW and got 100% parts and 50% labour paid. Obviously much appreciated contribution but considering it's not an old car and it's a common fault, still stings a bit.

Had mine done yesterday at 31k, wasn’t as bad as some on here but certainly needed cleaning. My local dealers were actually aware of it and more than likely just glad to take some extra cash!

Also have a set, very good. If I’m being picky, the rear window one is split which isn’t as nice but for the price they’re difficult to beat.

Another set of the NightEye here, so far so good. A little bit more blue than the main headlight (still far better than a standard halogen) but they are bright enough, no errors and fit straight into the normal connection.

Quite popular by me in North Scotland, although I think I might notice them more as I have one! However, mine is a wagon which are much rarer, only seen about handful on my travels.

The Philips bulb definitely fits the pre FL estate. As for light output, I’d say it is better than the standard bulb for brightness, wouldn’t necessarily say it’s twice as bright as it states in the specs, and definitely better in colour match with the rest of the interior lighting. I can see what is in the boot, although it’s a bit odd that VW didn’t put the lights actually in the boot as if you have the cover fitted the light isn’t of much use!

I fitted one of these https://www.hids-direct.co.uk/philips-xtremevision-6000k-43mm-festoon-led-bulb/ , nice match to the rest of the lights in the car.

Been looking for front seat covers myself but difficult to get ones that fit. As for the ISOfix base, I do have this and has been good so far: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Diono-40241-Ultra-Mat-Black/dp/B00BFQ5BM0

I second that, just fitted a set the other day and seem very good. I did ask for another couple of clips and they sent out a full set, free of charge, on the same day. Pretty good customer service.
