Careful with the thing though because if anything goes wrong , its a loss of 35000 INR ( Each light )

Whooah .. Thats really really scary.

It sure is.
Do Take care of the car.
And Try not to use the headlamp washer until very necessary.

you dint know that redsfx :P
a single headlamp if damaged would cost you around 40 K so be careful with your driving. Basically most of the skoda parts have sky rocketing prices. Its better if you stay with stock xenons. Also dont go for high wattage bulbs as they can damage the reflectors and you would have no other option but to replace the whole headlamp.

Actually a single headlamp costs you 36k plus if you also damage the bulb, that's another 20k!

abhinav.gupta88 · 29th September 2008, 19:12

I was quoted 35k !

Did not ask whether its for the headlight or the headlight + bulb!

that's only for the headlight assembly ! does not included the xenon bulb !

iraghava · 29th September 2008, 20:22

So you're looking at upwards of 50k easily eh Monkey?

ashish22 · 29th September 2008, 20:37

gulp! i'm looking at a price of more than 60K for headlamp plus bulb...more gulp!

abhinav.gupta88 · 29th September 2008, 20:38

I'm getting damn scared now.

evo · 29th September 2008, 20:39

just the lighting control unit (one side) is Rs.32000, I dont know about the rest though.

abhinav.gupta88 · 29th September 2008, 20:51

Its Quite sad that a great car like the vRs has so high maintenance costs attached to it.

Old Honda City was a great car and did not require you to open your lockers again and again ( A small wallet was sufficient for it)

ashish22 · 29th September 2008, 20:59

thats why i dint sell my OHC and still love ripping it once in a while..and she responds!!

abhinav.gupta88 · 29th September 2008, 21:08

I had to get rid of mine unless there was no vRs for me.

The bills seem scary but still love my vRS.
