Title: Philips Retro-fit DRL kit
Post by: animal on June 01, 2010, 09:57:31 am
Another 'decent' OEM quality DRL kit hits the market...

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.powerbulbs.com%2Fimages%2Flarge%2Fpackaging_and_lights.jpg&hash=f8bbdfc9a4d44e7b7b60cc6453982a336b4738d7)

The Hella option might suit the GTI better as they fit (more or less) in the fog light housing. These will in theory be a better option for R32 owners due to their shape and size and the R's slatted grills. The are also much smaller and discreet than the S6 option, which IMHO look  :sick: They also shouldn't need any cutting and modification to the grill and bumper.

FYI, Power Bulbs are now also stocking a range of Philips LED bulbs for number plates and interior use - finally, no more cheap eBay rubbish!

i can understand that a good quality kit with proper components manufactured in a place with ISO standards etc to cost a bit more, but thats a LOT of money for some LEDs!

Those Philips aren't expensive - My Hella monkey-lights cost just over £200.

As Dolly Parton, or was it Mae West, said: "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap!"

I'd like to see pics of a mk5 GTI with these Philips installed to see what they look like and where positioned.
