What sort of total cost are you looking at with HIDs mate? I'm umming and ahhing between these and oem xenons; not too sure which path to take. And am I right in saying you can get Depos with black innards (like standard GTI lights) whereas oem xenons are 'plain'?
Edit... these look dark now I've had a proper look at the photo. Or am I imagining it?!

Ive just paid £200 for the lights them selves where as my last set I bough used for £100 and the hid kit cost me £20 but I'd recommend a decent set on hid lights as the cheaper ones seem to fade in power output real quick!. I wanted oem but was let down a few times so thought F you all and bought this set as it's way cheaper to go depo and yes they have black inners where as the oem are chrome :sick: I'm actually happy I bought these again as I had no complaints with the previous set I have on the car apart from one is now broken due to the non fault I had. :happy2: so I'd recommend these after market ones to you and I'm surprised you've not done this ages ago :surprised:

You put led units in the puddle light whilst you had them stripped down?

Cheers for the info. Yeah it's always been firmly on the list, I've just prioritised other stuff up to now. The next few mods will be cosmetic stuff like this and hopefully a decent headunit etc. Then I'm going to take a gamble on coilovers and ARBs (I don't want to ruin the ride) along with an anti-lift kit... basically as much as I can do to help in getting the power to the road, before I turn my attention to the turbo.
I'll probably need a bit of advice regarding HIDs etc when I get round to it...!

oh don't start me off :doh: I haven't fitted leds on as I was worried about the error lights coming on and I'd rather not have to deal with that unless someone can tell me otherwise so I can go spend the last few pennies I have left :signLOL:
