I've fitted the depo headlights with 5000k hids in mine I  couldn't be more happier with them..

If you don't mind me asking @Shoduchi what colour are your wheels Looks perfect on Silver?
@TomGTI They're OZ Ultraleggera 8Jx18'' ET45 in Matte Graphite Silver that is a factory colour that you choose. I love their design and how they change the look of our Golfs, it's a lot more aggressive/sporty now. Also, I stopped worrying much about brake pad dust. :laugh:

Cheers for the kind comments guys.

Yeah Xenons would be nice if I could get them at a decent price, but I will look into the ones you bought @TomGTI they look good!

Usual suspect is selling a set of genuine oem. I had depos fitted with hid kit and hought the beam pattern was awful! As soon as I got oem Xenons the difference was night and day ( excuse the pun  :laugh:)

Your Pirelli is so good that it needs OEM xenons.  :wink:

Depo xenons are good while new, but AFAIK they don't age as well. Might last longer if they're protected with a headlight clear wrap, for example. The plastic isn't as good as the original.

Cheers for the offer mate, got one sorted last week with the number plates.  I think I may have ordered it in to big of a size. I went with 15mm deep.


So I may get another at some stage in a smaller size, maybe 10-12mm deep.

Yes made it inside, I was hoping I would get in, but with the standard of some of the cars on show I very happy to have made the list.

We must meet up at the show, always nice to meet other members.

Definitely man!  :happy2:
