Hi all,

I'm new on here. Checked out this thread when I was looking to upgrade my jetta lamps to HID. Saw the quality of the Hellas and bit the bullet!

I'm chuffed with the result! They were simple enough to fit, couple of hours start to finish really...

Here's a couple of pics anyway (if they work!)







I'm using 4300k HID's which is close to OEM colour, I didn't want the blue look.

Beam pattern is great, I've had cars in the past with factory fitted xenons, and I can honestly say these are as good! Highly recommended

Looking good Monty!

Can you let me know where you got hold of the Hella's from please? (I can't seem to find them in RHD anywhere!!)

Thanks

Was a pain to find in RHD. I originally ordered from a UK company, the following day they rang me explaining 1 side had been discontinued?! ...but only 1 side!

Obviously I cancelled the order and went along with an ebay shop in Germany (like the thread starter did) 3 days later and they were here! Amazing service!

Do you happen to still have the links for everything? What was the price for the units if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks

That's who I got mine from, the quality is identical to oem xenons

Even have the location and crews for the oem ballast

That's why I opted for them, great quality, perfect space for the ballast! They were literally plug and play!

I'd like to see the comparison between hella and DEPO.

Thanks for that.

So we're looking at around £350 delivered, not too bad but the Depos are £200!

Not sure I can justify it just to get around the 6 o'clock mod  :grin:

Ah sorry didn't mean to target that at you - the 6 o'clock mod is something I am not looking forward too but not worth avoiding for the extra £140 to me  :signLOL:
