make sure when you speak to them, that the price includes the bulbs and ballasts

Lovely CTR you had there! My best mate used to have one, and I drove it all the time! Great fun car - just a shame about the slightly numb steering feel!

I probably wont be in the market to buy these for a couple months, but there seems to have been quite a bit of interest in them during this thread by others!

You do have quite a few contacts don't you Mat!!  :smiley: :xmastree:

normal bulbs only needed for this type of headlight as they are non xenon  :happy2: so just stock bulbs are fine

BTW, the xenon units are a lot more silver inside than the standard GTI lights. I wasn't keen on how spangly they were on  my old GTI so was happy not to have them next time  :santa:
I thought folk got the xenon option more for their better light output vs cosmetics...

1st GTI, factory ordered with Xenons, 2nd GTI stock car no choice on options = No xenons. Not the end of the world as I've upgraded my bulbs, but as I said I prefer the look of the light unit when the lights are off on the standard lights. If that's ok with you pal?  :chicken:

What upgraded bulbs did you fit? sorry to digress.  :wink:
