    It also depends on who did it, mine was imported under the new scheme and they left the HIDs in.

        Cut to avoid scrub, almost certainly.

        Didn't even know such thing existed when I had my first FTO. Came across these after I've sold the car..
        Bought these brand new from England, I'm surprised someone still make the parts for FTO. maybe its left over stock?
