Honest Opinions Please!!!!!
« on: December 31, 2009, 08:59:18 pm »
I have a 5dr Gti with standard non-xenon headlights. I have been looking into my options to upgrade and bumped into these on eBay.

I don't want to start a Xenon debate with regards to legality, etc as I am WELL aware of the law but I would apprecaite any comments on the lamps!!

Here's a link and a quick pic -

Many thanks in advance or your comments  :happy2:

Im not a fan to be honest! I think they will make your car look kinda tacky! Plus you can get genuine ones for less than that!
It all depends on what you think about them though as it is your car!  :happy2:

Kind of what I was thinking - would be nice to see a decent picture of a set on a Mk5.

Isn't there a set of bulbs missing where the parking lights are normally?

Make sure you budget in the washers and auto leveler for the beam, starts adding up!
