« on: May 05, 2014, 09:12:21 pm »
Hi all, just recently bought my first Golf GTi DSG mk5 and i love it, got tinted windows and black VW badges on it already! I'm after upgrading the lights to HID anybody got any suggestions ? also thinking about mapping it to stage one, heard R-tech are the best for that is this true ?
thanks in advance :)

Welcome!  :worthless:

I think your best bet for the 'HID' would be OEM Xenons? There's plenty of info about them on the forum, have a look on the search function, I'm sure you'll stumble upon some useful stuff!

As for the remaps, I don't know cause I haven't got one, but I'll be going to R-Tech when I do!  :party:

Get some pics up!

That should be of some use

Welcome mate, genuine xenon's or xenon lookalikes they look the part and light up the road well. Plenty of tuning companies out there but i'd go with Revo, APR or R-Tech. :worthless:
Stage 2 MK5 GTI Revo GONE
Stage 1+ MK5 GTI R-Tech GONE
Stage 2 MK5 GTI Edition 30 GoAPR

I've just put mtec cosmos blue in ATM they are lookalikes but don't have a great output. Do genuine exeons need projectors and stuff ?
