Do I have city lights?
« on: October 26, 2016, 10:36:06 pm »
Sorry if this is a silly question but is it only the xenons that have city lights? I have halogen lights and I'm pretty sure I don't have city lights.

The light strip at the bottom of the lights, like this...

They're called sidelights.

From my understanding both xenon and halogen have them.

The xenon ones are under that "strip" as you say whereas they're located near the top without a strip on the halogen.

Oooh ok so i'll need to get some xenon lights.

Do you know if the depo ones have the strip at the bottom as sidelights?

They do!

Here's a cheap set in the for sale section for £225 - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,108482.msg1050627.html#msg1050627
You will need ballasts and igniters though.

There are 3 different sets in total
