Title: Do I have city lights?
Post by: Lucastheone92 on October 26, 2016, 10:36:06 pm
Sorry if this is a silly question but is it only the xenons that have city lights? I have halogen lights and I'm pretty sure I don't have city lights.

The light strip at the bottom of the lights, like this...

They're called sidelights.

From my understanding both xenon and halogen have them.

The xenon ones are under that "strip" as you say whereas they're located near the top without a strip on the halogen.

They do!

Here's a cheap set in the for sale section for £225 - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,108482.msg1050627.html#msg1050627
You will need ballasts and igniters though.

There are 3 different sets in total
