What sort of headlights do you have mate?
Xenons or Halogens?

Halogens use H7 for both main and dipped beam.

I recently fitted a couple of pairs of Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited, and they're very good. Solid white light and no chavvy blue to them.

Got them off 'upgradebulbs' on ebay.

Couldn't tell you about Xenons.. but I wouldn't mind a pair.

Thanks, I got them in the end. They do look quite good. Looking to get 'rainbow bulb' next, saw it on another mk5 and now I'm in love (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F15%2F11%2F25%2Fe458ff6230ed5f08c899a3892b1bd31c.jpg&hash=2dff2d6c18c1f24d451b344faf61b1e56e770582)
