Are all the covers on the back in place?

Whip it off the car, remove the covers, overnight in the airing cupboard then refit covers and fit back to the car :y

Double check the seal on the indicator bulb holder as well :y

Thanks for that I assume that a standard 2003 v6 doesnt have HID Xenons is this correct. Are they an after fit or standard on certain models, What is the risks with the HID Zenons.

Correct.
Not necessary but it`s a safeguard as the ballast produces heavy voltage

Assuming no one has previously been meddling, no headlight washers = no xenons :y
