Hi everyone.

Bill is the name. Been in Oz just on two years. From South Africa
Bought a Golf Mk 7Gti Performance.

It’s wonderful. Best car I’ve owned. Mine is red and likes to consume Xenon bulbs.
It’s also got the obligatory clear coat peeling on the bumper covers.

I’m in love. Now I need to make it my own

That’s my intro

Hi and welcome Bill. I used to have a Mk7 GTI Performance myself up until about 12 months ago. Mine was still on its original xenon bulbs, so you might have an underlying issue or perhaps you are buying cheap bulbs from ebay/Amazon etc and they just dont last. You need to make sure you are buying good quality bulbs like Osram or Phillips which are about $150 each. Also make sure you are buying 35w xenon bulbs and not the 50w or higher, because your ballast is designed for 35w bulbs. The other alternative are good quality LED bulbs like the Spectr ones which I recently fitted to my Audi and they are great.
