I've got the stock lamps on mine and the covers have gotten so filmy that they're practically useless.

How tough would it be to install these on a VR6, I'm not especially handy, but I have relatives who are, so on a scale of 1 to 10, how hard is it?

The easiest part is the install, aiming them is a bitch though. There are DIY's for them on VWVortex look there for it you just have to take off the bumper.

I followed the DIY (which I'm recommending him to look for) and it wasn't that bad. I'm saying now from experience i for sure wouldn't say it's difficult at all now I can take apart my bumper and take out a headlight in 5 minutes.

So I got mine awhile back and haven't had them in longer than a couple weeks altogether, bulbs keep burning out in both the low and high beam, driver's side is stock height/intensity, but passenger's side is way too spread out and way too high, I've even made sure the bolts to adjust are the exact same height to the milimeter on the high beam and it's about 5 feet too high when I do. Please parts4euro guy inform me on how to get this fixed.

I know HOW to adjust them, however I recently received a driver's side replacement because I received a defective one to begin with. It's the fact that the replacement was at stock height/intensity, and I am finding it incredibly difficult to get intensity/height back to the same as the stock height/intensity
