Headlight Replacement - advice needed please

[SeaV]

Hi guys, I need some advice.
I would like to replace the headlights on my 05 GTi, is there somewhere anyone could recommend for aftermarket standard looking units please?

Are you after halogen or xenon? If halogen then I'm looking at the Hella units on Eurocarparts.

Are you wanting to replace them due to the musky look? if so, you can get a headlight restoration kit to fix them up pretty good.

I’ve had them polished and lacquered before in 2014. The lacquer had started to peel this time last year on the o/s unit, and when I had it in for a cambelt change an over-zealous young person made special efforts to power wash the car before I picked it up and expanded the peeling section from a couple of inches to virtually the whole thing. They’re quite dull looking and I either wanted to change them for something that looked standard or possibly these :

I’ll look at the Hellas, thank you

SeaV did you go with the Hellas from eurocarparts? Looking to do the same, I refurbished mine  2 years ago then covered them in clear colourless laminex, was never really pleased with finish.
