Title: HELP Best bulbs all round for my GTi to give a xenon look
Post by: c8dgy on January 28, 2013, 02:41:29 pm

Hi guys,

As above really guys the lights on the new GTi look very old and worn so im buying a bew set with black inners,

While im doing this i want to upgrade all the bulbs to give the best possible look and as close to a xenon look as possible,

Ive done many searchs on here and im now more confused than when i first started, I know the bulbs are canbus H7 and need to be the error free type,

Id also like to upgrade the fogs all interior lights and number late lights at the same time,

If some one has links to all the bulbs need or model no,s and maybe  few pictures that would be great,

I did find a thred offering a complete set out lights interior and exterior but carnt finf it for the life of me,

Thanks Paul.

Are you buying projector style new headlights?
If so you can fit a HID kit into them as long as the levelers are working.
If not go for MTECS or phillips extreme H7 bulbs.

Or consider these if you want the xenon look without the price?
