Surely though, as a compromise you can buy the projector units (which we all agree look fantastic) and just run with the standard bulbs / or even better, uprated bulbs!

One question to those in the 'know how'. Once ive bought e.g. that Hella unit on eBay, would I need different wiring / bulb harnesses etc?

This is similar to what Hurdy has done - albeit he has used another type of aftermarket projector unit that enables him to have angel eyes...

Was about to post the ebay link, bit more expensive now, I guess cos the pound has lost value against the euro.

I believe the units are plug and play, as id imagine the only difference between those and the standard are the actual housing.

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:
