Ok 5cm in length, if this is from the right side to the left side is it a hot wheels car ??
What I'm saying is that I have used one of these, and then run the wire all the way to the other side of the car, not sure about the length, but I recon 1meter-1meter and half
Used a 10amp fuse

How did you terminate to the light, what checks did you do?
I have cut the positive wire from the left side light just in case with the vibration of the car it would not reconnect and overload both headlights, and then I have checked all terminals and tighten all of them for a tight connection, also used connectors to connect all wires to avoid loose connections.
 
It is a bit odd as car insurance covers fire for nearly all scenarios, so not sure why the client is chasing you. At worst i would expect the insurance company to contact you but not the client. Anyway it is possible the original supply to the low beam has since caused a problem. However vehicle fires can be caused by so many different situations it is a bit of a leap to blame you for your repair. Its possible upon inspection the insurance company has seen some non manufacturer wiring and they have walked away leaving the client high and dry. Sadly there are more questions than answers........

Hi, Thank you for your reply, and actually what you saying it all makes sense now because the car was half modified including the headlights, tail lights windows wheels, etc... and just out of curiosity I have asked the customer if all mods were declared which he said none of them are.

I wish I had an answer so I can deal with it the best possible way.
 
Now you tell us about all of the modifications, sounds like the owner of the vehicle has had his claim denied for not declaring the mods and is looking for someone else to pay out

I'm sorry but it did not come to my mind, as you might expect this is a very stressful situation, and I'm trying to solve it the best way possible.

Take a look at some of the scirocco forums, plenty of warnings on there about fitting after market lights, point your client in that direction,

One more point, just because where you used to worked bodged it like that and had no problems doesn’t make it right

good luck
