Title: MK5 GT Hid Headlights
Post by: saadn on November 06, 2012, 05:31:44 pm
Has any one put the Hella R32 xenon look headlights on their Golf? I was looking at purchasing these:

It says "plug&play" but I dunno if anyone has experienced anything else when converting them into hids. Will I require anything other than just the lights and a conversion kit to run these?

Yep those ones. About 5 people have bought a set from him, just message and ask him for RHD lights. I dont think vagcom is needed as they use the existing bulbs

Hids are a seperate system so wont need coding

They look sh*t. I hate fake HID xenons, you just make the car look cheap and tacky. Go with the projector xenon headlights or just go for some uprated bulbs.

Seen some r32 xenons with everything for £450 off a 2009 model. Is it worth it?

Sorry I know it's not Hella, but I had genuine Xenons put in today, to say I'm in love is an understatement.

Any real life pictures?
