German ed30s got black Detroits. As in the pics.
By default or did they get a choice?

Hmmm. Not sure. Although I think it was only an option to the Germans, if you get me.German ed30s got black Detroits. As in the pics.

Blacked out headlights as well by the look of it, instead of the chrome shat we get!As in black xenons it seems? (Halogens are 'black' on UK GTIs as I'm sure you're aware.)
But xenons... yeah. We only get chrome in the UK. Aftermarket Depo projectors are black. And probably look rather nice.
I bet some OEM black German xenons would command quite a price!

I was looking at the second pic down, which kinda looks like a Xenon? Can't say I've looked at normal Halogen lights in any detail :smiley:
I remember that MK4 mod!. Those lights were a lot more involved to modify, and bloody expensive new! When I read that you needed cut out (or break and replace) the glass cover, I thought, yeah, sod that!

They look like black xenons to me although it might just be the light. Excuse the pun. I think I'll be doing the Depo projectors plus HID job myself. I like the darker look.Blacked out headlights as well by the look of it, instead of the chrome shat we get!As in black xenons it seems? (Halogens are 'black' on UK GTIs as I'm sure you're aware.)

I did the Joey mod on my mk4 on standard headlights. Wasn't too bad if you had a clear plan before you started. But there was a lot of broken glass to deal with. Fair respect for those that took a hammer to xenons!
