These are the ones I have been looking at. But want to seem how they look and fit first.

http://www.xenonz.co.uk/store/p92/GOLF_MK6_GTI%2FGTD_STYLE_LED_DRL_PROJECTOR_HEADLIGHTS_.html

As I've said many times before, these lights have essentially an aftermarket HID kit in them, meaning they take a second or two to warm up to full brightness. Fine once they are on as the bi-xenon lamp serves both dip and main beam via a shutter behind the lens, but not so good when you need full power main beam to flash when the lights are turned off.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I actually have those xenonz reps and 6000k HID's in. Looks the part! Even my local VW dealer loved em. Although what dubber said is right, takes about a second for the HID's to warm up and its damn annoying. Looks chav blue before it goes white!

Local lad! Those DRL bulbs are really hard to reach haha, good luck! One word of warning though if you do go for the xenonz, they're really easy to fit but a pain in the ass to code. You even need to jump a couple wires if you want them working like OEM
