Sweets2 has these on his Jetta

When they are off, next to my bros edition 30 lights, you can't tell. I mean, I can't tell, and Simon can't tell.

When they are on you notice because the temp of my hid kit is a lot more blue than the factory xenons, and my lights don't self-level.  You'd only notice that if you had a set next to you tho - there is only a subtle difference in colour.

The kit i installed is a basic kit, not a bi-xenon kit...

You would think they could just make them with the black innards and the chrome domes, charge another £20 and make a killing.

You are right they don't look as good but £400 is a lot of cash.

UPDATE:

I popped over to Strictly Dubs in St Lawrence, Essex today to get the Hella Xenon Looks fitted.

You are all familiar with these horrible Halogen, reflector based, 1990's tech stock lights. At least they are darkened I spose..  :congrats:



The Hella manual suggests removing the bumper to fit, but Paul said it just needed unclipping at the sides and the grill removed to allow access. He was right - these boys don't waste time!



One light out! (4 bolts and a plug)



..and one new super cool Hella Xenon look light being fitted in!!



Repeat on the other side, put the car back together, and job done. Total time to do the whole job was less than an hour, but like I said, these guys know Golfs, so can work around them very quickly. I lent a hand where I could, and reckon I could do it myself now easily, now I've seen how to do it.

Oh, and you don't need to take the fog grills out, that was done so we could get a trapped bug out of my offside front fog lens!!

haha looks exactly like mine now with the plate off and the plate holes showing.

So what are they like? did you fit a HID kit or just normal bulbs?

Do they have a mirror that flips up to allow main beam on the xenon unit?

Deffo need to get a set of these bad boys! Have we got any more word on a group buy and when we can place the order? I probably can't afford a set until next month unless I put them on a credit card.....
