I went out in my mums GT sport the other night and that has halogens and I had to check if they were on or not when I was driving on a particularly dark section of road, plus I think the xenon units spruce the front of the GTI up a bit. :happy2: :jumpmove:

Yeah agree with you completely.
I went from a car that had xenons to the Golf without, and the difference is crazy - as you say! But £750 for xenons that VW charge, compared to £450 that BMW charged was a bit of a joke! I've upgraded the bulbs, and now they are bluey/whitey and dont look too dissimilar a xenon light, so the projector lenses will top it all off nicely!

They are very expensive but worth it IMO. It was the first box I ticked when I purchased my car. I am looking into getting a 170 diesel at the moment and trying to find one with xenons is impossible so I would do the D.I.Y fitting like Jay. I just have to have them if you know what I mean :happy2:

Might consider this yeah. Likewise, was the first box I ticked on my previous car! Really do miss them!

Can anyone with access to the VW parts program thing give me the OEM part number? Just interested at what VW charge!
