2005 Mk5 Golf GTI, replacement headlights.
« on: January 23, 2017, 05:00:34 pm »
HI all, I've had my 2005 Mk5 Golf GTI for a few months now, just booked it in to have the headlights refurbished and have been told they are beyond repair and need replacing, any recommendations for headlights, i've had a look on Ebay and too much choice to be honest, My knowledge of headlights is very limited so any help would be welcomed.. Thanks in advance..

Get a pic up lad, I recently refurbed mine myself and they were in some state. Costs my 15 euro and the use of a drill for a few hours.

I will link a before and after pic below

Unfortunately mine are too far gone to be refurbished they even have damage on the inside, Cheers Zipupurmickey,  but I think I'll buy a new set, quite like the look of the demo projector lights, thanks for the advice dronners, and everyone else..
