I am about to do my friends evoque , would some pictures / videos help ?

Did this today, had problems fitting the bulbs into the holders themselves. The bulb didn't seem to fit with the rubber rings around it...removed and they went in fine.

With mine, the lead that you unclip from the original globe has a little locking type lug on it, with the new HID system it looked like it would plug straight in , wit the same little lug locking device, but plugged in that way it wouldn't work. I just had to turn it around and push in, it holds in perfectly as it has a rubber type "o ring " type arrangement around the bottom of the plug.
I think once you get your system you will work it out, I first plugged it in the wrong way, then worked out what was meant by reversing the plug, I'm no auto electrician by any means. Did the passenger side first as you have a bit more room to work with.
Good luck with it
P.S. drove last night, first time with HID fitted , major improvement, can now see in the dark ( even the wife noticed)

Thanks Ringo, makes more sense now.
Looking forward to some decent vision at night!

I finally received the HID kit and installed, everything went together fine and I even figured the reverse connector thing however when I turn the lights on they just flash once and go off???
Any ideas??? Please!!!

FYI - ballast was faulty, got replaced and works perfectly now!

Hi all,
Do you need the Canbus error type kit or does the standard kit work on the Evoque?

Anyone? (Crickets chirping)

Canbus to be safe - though when the shop installed my Morimoto kit, they said it didn't through any errors without, but I had already bought the Canbus so they used it anyway.

Thanks Jinzen, I don't want the wasted power and extra heat from the resistors used in the canbus error free kit. Can anyone confirm that the standard AP kit worked for them?
