    Yes, wiring a capacitor across the bulbs will help.

    Sometimes the search function doesn't like three-letter words like "HID", so it's understandable if the search doesn't bring anything up.

    I think we need a Mod DIY FAQ thread.

    Quickest and easiest way to do it is to use VAG COM if you have access to it, or a shop that has it.

    I paid my local Euro shop $20 to do it for me completely electronically. Didn't even touch the lights. You just need to change the long coding and enable the Xenon Shutter option in the convenience lighting menu.
