that correct, thats all the OEM headlights.
there's a few on ebay which are aftermarket with angel eyes, LED strip etc......OEM look better on the MK5 i personally think

on the £180 ones above, you can see that thin bar in the middle going top to bottom, that bar actually lights up and acts like an side light and are not auto leveling like the OEM Xenons (£450)

these are for £400, they from the company HELLA and look identical to OEM Xenons

the OEM Xenons are the only MK5 lights that are auto leveling

all the rest of OEM and aftermarket lights have to be manually aligned by hand, you just turn the nozzle behind the headlight

Hope that helps  :happy2:
