GTI halogens have black inners. Standard ones don't.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

They do look so much better had an R32 behind me the other day at night and they just give of such a nicer tone of lighting :(

Some now in the for sale section, standards + £450 9started at £350 then went up) if I sell my car transporter then I will get some :P

I went out the other night about 1 in morning, no cars around, I have the xenons and they are excellent, the full beam was immense , I have never known lights like it, the whole of the motorway was lite up . :signLOL:

I notice the fogs look like they have crappy bulbs , can these be changed ?

Xenons are definitely a feature you miss on a car without them, when I swapped my lupo Gti for an mr2 it was like someone had replaced my lights with candles, horrible on country lanes! They were a must for me on the golf.
Get involved Johnny tro!  :happy2:
