Yeah, they're good, I just crave a little more range on main, rather than seeing more of the grass verge and being dazzled by the reflection off white road signs.

First time with Xenons on the GTI and its really amazing on full beam, would disagree with the lack of range but thats my comparison to a previous non-xenon car so to excuse the pun the MK5 Xenons are like night and day  :pomppomp: 

Definately find that certain road signs are a little bit dazzling when caught in the full beam.  Something that I have noticed from certain photos on here is that some of the newer lights have a pronounced oily appearance almost as if the outer cover has a coating, yet with my 5 year old units its very difficult to see, does anyone know if this was purposely in place to polarize the light to reduce glare and reflections back?

The sign reflection is because too much light is being thrown upwards and to the side, hence my (small) whinge. With the Renault all that extra light went forwards.

Rich yes it does have a coating on it not sure what its for but if you have just washed your car and catch it in certain light you can see that oily look to the plastic.
