What's there to know about the anti flicker decoders? Interested now.
Edit: holy sh*t, 10,000 Lumens per bulb? Not convinced I need it to be 5x brighter than legal hah.
Edit2: Seems they even mention you need the decoders in the product page. Interesting.

I assume you don't need to code them as Shutterless Xenons in VCDS? Blowing the wiper motor would really take the shine out of this lighting endeavour 

Let's say I go depo GTI black reproductions, rather than R32 style projectors, would you spring for nightbreaker lasers in all 4 bulbs? just the dipped? just the full beams? Not sure if it's worth the cash for all 4 but I'd like to know what others are doing in that respect.

you'll need to code them as bi xenon without shutters so you don't blow the wiper motor 

I'm happy with mine as they broken up the night without a doubt and wouldn't go for anything else

Have to admit I am leaning on the depo projector reproduction headlights but I'm still having the nagging feeling to just rock high end halogens like the OSRAM night breaker lasers with the dark backed GTI clone depos.

Of any one else with either the GTI depos or projector depos has an opinion it'd be welcome.

I'm running normal reflectors with Philips X-treme vision +120%  at the minute, they're very good. They're worlds behind  Bi-xenon though, why not see if headlightretrofits.org.uk can properly retrofit bi-xenon/bi-led to a set of depo copies for you so they'll work properly not like projectors (Projectors limit light output).

Bought the led h7 bulbs same as R5. will try fitting them on the weekend.

Ive fitted the ones R5 recommended to my Depo headlights and has made a massive improvement over HID's that i had. looks spot on.

That sounds good! :D

I might go for a short drive before fitting them and after fitting them and post videos on here from my dashcam to show the difference.

Thanks the comments guys, you know they're worth it. Raz you've seen my hid's at the early pages on my build thread and now at the end of it so don't waste your time unless you would like to

Just ordered a set for my Depo's took my HID's out a fews years ago for MOT and was going to put them back in but couldnt be bothered with the hassle tbh. Hopefully these Led bulbs will be worth it thanks for the heads up guys.

Thread update, got hold of a pair of OEM GTI black backed headlights in good nick off an Ed30 for £100. Seemed like the best option at the time!
