Hi, my first post. As an owner of a "regular red" GTC cdti 2.0 with 19" upgrade alloys and standard everything else I wondered what could be done to improve/ look after my new metal baby.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'd love to do a HID conversation, but I'm worried about wearing the bulbs out when flashing when headlights off as the bulbs need a warm up. Of course I should retro fit the AFL's to be legal.

Would they have to have quick ballasts so when no lights on and I flash to let somebody past it fires up in time and does not burn out the bulbs?
