Xenon HID conversion h7 kit

[Nofx_phil75]

Hello, I came across this item when trying to find xenon headlamps for my GTI.
When reading through the description they seem like a really good idea.
Has anyone thought the same and made the purchase, if so what are they like?
Easy to fit? And are they as described in that they replace the existing standard bulb?

Cheers Phil

They are a touchy subject on here mate.
 I would personally steer clear of them. They are illegal for one. They also dont give the best light output and will most likely blind other drivers.
I did look into them but quickly decided to go with genuine R xenons! I am glad I did! The difference between them both is the ones you are looking at will be used in a reflector headlight (used for halogen) but genuine xenons are projector headlights. With the genuine you get bi xenon as well which is xenon for both low beam and high beam (as well as a halogen bulb)
The light output on my xenons are nothing short off fantastic. The full beam lights up the road like daylight. Also I never get flashed after having them aligned properly!
I am not sure you will be able to say the same for an aftermarket HID kit!
Ultimately it is your decision but for not to much more (i paid £320 for everything) you could get the real deal which are excellent.
Hope this helps,
Ollie

Also I remember someone on here having problems trying to fit them!

Have a read of the DFT's statement on HID's

IMHO Save up for real OEM Bi Xenon headlights

Ebay is your best bet mate. You can get them from VW but I think they cost about the same as a small country!!!
