yes its possible but not cheap,  Ive just done it on my mk5 xenons, auto level and washers,  Would be cheaper if you already had the washers,  but if you just want the xenons then its just a matter of finding them.

There is a lot of debate on the subject Kev and in some eyes i,e the police, insurance and poss some others its illegal to have xenons without washers or levelers, but an MOT its not tested for the levelers or the washers so people just do it, 

I was the same when I wanted the xenons but I soon got the rest of the stuff and now I'm of the thought that xenons shouldn't be fitted without them...hipocritical or what :grin:

Hi Darren.
My soon to be delivered GTi comes with the Winter Pack which includes washers and levellers.
HID-conversions can fit Xenons for £145 per beam. Obviously the headlights do not have projector lenses.
How much would it cost for you to fit my car with OEM Xenons, please?
You may PM me if you wish to keep your response private.
Thanks.

I had already started a thread about this on 02-02-2010.

if you can source the oem xenon headlights, ill do it for £40 although i don't think the winter pack includes the auto levelers? Think that is just for xenons? But kufatec do a kit for the mk6.

Cheers
