Hella Xenon look headlights mkv golf

[jedi-knight83]

Interesting.. didnt realise you could get copies that were so close to the oem look

My guess is the actuators are to flip up the mirror to make them bixenon (ie when you pull the main beam on my oem xenons the mirror flips up to give full beam xenon along with the main beam lamps also firing)

has anyone used these? they do look very OEM, although not sure of the quality! Would be nice to see some pics of them on!

Well I doubt there would be a quality issue with them being hella lights. Hella stuff is regularly used as OEM anyway. They probably just had loads left over and decided to sell them on their own :)

I'm trying to convince my mate (oxygen) to get them and then we will see what they are like but I wouldnt have thought they are any worse quality than the oem vw ones and infact they are better because you dont HAVE to use the OEM xenon bulb (which isnt actually as bright as the HID kit i had on my old car)

I'm not so sure, as they are only 'xenon look' with a halogen bulb fitted in the projector unit.

I've got a set here that I'm going to fit soon.. Quality is top notch - absolutely OEM. If you do buy a set make sure you get RHD versions. Most sellers are stocking LHD versions.

They look just like the Xenons, but have an H7 halogen bulb behind the projector. I reckon a set of HID bulbs would go in there should you fancy some?

They look totally OEM...

Im very tempted to get them and sell my oem ones and then I can run my own HID kit which will be brighter.

oh how i wish they made a set of these for the 8P

[patrickcullen87]

they do look really good but for 320quid are you better not just actually buying xenon headlights from the for sale section in here for an extra 100pound? they are genaraly around the 400 mark. just my opinion

I paid under £300 from my supplier, and these are brand new, which is a bonus for me.  I did consider S/H Xenons, but then the idea of mucking about with looms, fitting washers and levelers etc made the job a lot bigger and more complex.  These Hellas are plug and play and with some decent bulbs as the OP stated, are a big upgrade it would seem.. Almost as good as Xenons!

In some way's these are cheats way to having that Xenon look.. I guess as the name suggests!

Ive had this kit on a couple of cars and its been flawless and actually brighter than then oem xenon

Where did you get yours from? I'd be interested in these, seems to save on the hidden extra costs you get with fitting OEM xenons and having to sort out levelling etc soon adds up!

[RussZS]

Me too, where can you get them for less than £300 please?

Does nobody in the UK stock these?

I might just become another guinea pig!

I like the look of these and although they're not OEM, they've gotta be worth a punt to save the hassle of fitting S/H OEM ones.

I'll speak to my contact folks.. He's in Germany, but can post almost next day.  Maybe we can look at a group buy?
