Post by: diazbtn on December 26, 2013, 05:40:46 pm: Evening all,

anyone know where I can get some LHD xenon type projectors from?? Am taking the car to Spain so would like some proper headlights in there rather than the stick on deflector beam things..cheers :)

found some here

which are a lot cheaper and can get fitted with HID kit,

Merry Christmas everyone :driver:

Those are the part numbers for european stock LHD xenon headlights. I'd start with ebay.
1K6 941 039 - Left headlight
1K6 941 040 - Right headlight

Those in your link are projectors, however the beam pattern is nowhere near as good as the factory xenons.

Post by: diazbtn on December 26, 2013, 10:18:33 pm: I would love to get the Xenons in the car, and if I were in the UK for longer I would try and get some from flea bay, but as I have to go on 31st on the Ferry, I'm trying to do it as cheap as I can just to get me through a couple of months in Spain without using the stick on refractor things, unless anyone has some Xenons for sale at the moment??

I thought the Hellas would be OK+HID kit and I don't plan on doing that much night driving in Alicante, and unless I can get some Xenons in Spain cheap I think VW ask for about 2k for the lights, ballasts etc.. if someone could help out on getting some for half that I might be interested..... :laugh:
