Xenon Colour?
« on: 02 November 2006, 08:20 »
Well we are going to spec Xenon's on our new GTi, and I'm just wondering as I've never seen a Golf with them switched on in real life, if they are a Deep Blue Hue or more white coloured?

Blue white hue and much brighter than ordinary lights, self leveling as well. You also get a standard lamp for flashing the headlights as the Xenons have a split second delay in igniting and would obviously blind oncoming drivers. Well worth it IMHO.

I'm tempted to go the Xenon route, but at the same time struggling to believe they're £725 better than halogen.....

I think I need to drive the Golf at night, first without then with Xenons. I've never had them before but I've never found halogens to be poor. Maybe it's another 'never had it won't miss it' type thing. I'd really like to see how much better they are though.

Slightly more apt would be, "Night and day."  :wink:

I had them on my last car but don't on the Golf. Most of my driving at night is in London or on motorways so don't miss them. They do look cooler though  :cool: but that would just be an embarrassing reason for chosing them!
