Title: Projector headlights
Post by: Melvin084 on April 25, 2014, 09:48:48 pm: I know there are topics about this already but most of the links on where I can buy them from are no longer active so here I am asking for help once again.

Where can I get a pair from? are these okay

Post by: rob-gti on April 26, 2014, 01:38:48 am: can anyone suggest a h7 hid kit to pair up with these? preferably a slim ballast kit which won't cause errors...

Post by: motogp46 on April 26, 2014, 12:56:05 pm: Hi. Apologies if this is obvious but presume that the only difference between the above and those on the link are that these are Hella brand?

Seen a few links to these on the forum but that you just have to request RHD. Worth the £60-£70 difference?

I've got a H7 ap racing 5k kit of eBay that I've run for a year and not had a problem with them. Think it was ruffly £45 aswell so pretty good value for money

The ones on the original link are depo which do quite a bit of vw oem stuff. Seems silly paying extra for something that's almost the same as the cheaper one

Be careful those are likely to be for left hand drive cars.

Post by: BenGTI on April 28, 2014, 02:34:15 pm: is there anything else you need with these or is it a straight swap and add some bulbs ?

Title: Re: Projector headlights
Post by: JoeDarKa on April 28, 2014, 02:35:21 pm: Straight swap as they use h7 bulbs.

Black inners :happy2:

Just ordered these but didn't check to see if they are rhd and if they have self levelling motors :sad1:
Title: Re: Projector headlights
Post by: motogp46 on April 28, 2014, 08:34:40 pm: Hi. It says levelling motors included so from my searches of this site, just a question of removing bumper and popping on. Simples! Or in my case take to The Phirm, get Revo Stage 1, check DV and ask nicely to remove bumper and put them on!
Title: Re: Projector headlights
Post by: Adam-golf on April 28, 2014, 08:46:25 pm: There different to most though as they have all black inners. Shouldn't of got so excited and asked more questions before I ordered haha
Title: Re: Projector headlights
Post by: MJ on April 28, 2014, 09:04:38 pm: I've got a set of depo projectors with black innards. I modified them to accept H7 HIDs and large SMD sidelight bulbs. they came with motors fitted however they are manual adjustment, not automatic.

I also have no bulb warning lights with the parts I've used.

Are they all black though? As in the only chrome part is the two chrome rings?

I've never seen a set before. I know wooosh has a genuine set on his car which he modified himself
Title: Re: Projector headlights
Post by: MJ on April 28, 2014, 09:08:28 pm: That's the only chrome part, they look genuine but half the price.
Title: Re: Projector headlights
Post by: Adam-golf on April 29, 2014, 03:27:25 pm: Ah decent mate, same as these

Just heard back from the seller and they don't come with the motors.

Could I use the ones of my current lights does anybody know?
Title: Re: Projector headlights
Post by: paulw123 on April 29, 2014, 05:15:27 pm: you should be able to swap them over from your current OEM headlights, that's what I did on me old MK4 with FK's.
you will need a HID kit, eventually, as the projector "screen" seems to cut out half the light.
Title: Re: Projector headlights
Post by: MJ on April 29, 2014, 05:57:28 pm: The motors that came fitted to mine are different to the standard headlight ones.

Yep mate already got all that sorted. I'll have to wait till they come and see if I can do it
