Hi Guys,
I have just bought a 56 plate GT Tdi and I have been searching for Xenons kits? I read on another thread that a VW upgrade is around £1000........ :(
I put aftermarket kits on my old BMW 328i Sport Coupe and my 530i Sport and never had a problems.
Whats the feedback on here as the 6K H7 kits I have seen are around £70???
-
They look sh*t and blind other people. If you're going to go for something go for the real OEM xenons at around £350 on the bay.

How do they blind other drivers if the beam direction is setup correctly?
Has anybody fitted kits like this on here before? Pics?
-
I don't think you can adjust the beam pattern because the light is a xenon fitted into a halogen housing.

Ah right,
when I had the 6K H7's fitted on my previous BMW's nobody ever flashed me and everyone always said how awesum they looked. Much better visibility too.

If your going to do it make sure you get projector lenses. Putting 6k HIDs in a housing designed for standard bulbs is a big no no as the light pattern just wont work as its not designed to have that sort of light coming out of it.
As long as you have these, I dont really have a problem with them. Might even get it done myself and get some 6k ones thrown in. Id beg anyone to spot the difference.

Great, thanks for the info Al,
How much are these projector lenses and where is the best place to buy from?

To be honest with you I dont have a clue lol. I wont even be thinking about getting mine done till winter starts to kick back in around the October / November time when Im going to give these guys a call - http://www.hid-kits.co.uk/default.html and have a proper talk with them about it.

Great thanks for the link mate,
I see from there gallery they have done a MK 5 Golf so I will give them a shout.
Have a good afternoon.
:)

Yeah, that MK5 Golf has had the 14k ones and looks like a chavtastic bag of sh!t lol
Note you will need a special adaptor for the MK5 Golfs to hold the bulbs in place which cost an extra £15.

Yes agreed I wondered why it had 14K on as 6K looks the nuts. That is what I had on my 328i Sport coupe and my 530i Sport.
Thanks for the info on the adapters.

If you get these chaps to do yours let me know. Id be very interested to see how it all turns out.
-
also they are illegal if you dont have a self leveling sensor on the rear axle (as factory fitted xenons have), search the forum for some heated debates!

Ah right,

" if you want dont want........... " ???????
I would not of thought an MOT tester would pick up on the HID's son?
-
ive got hids passed mot fine , but the forum guys then said well if trading standards or someone like that ill get a telling off , ive taken um out now cos one bulb went so just shoved the old ones back in . There so bore off though so dull and sh!t i used to get flashed bout once a month if that ....love um wish there was a easier way to get that white light look
-
well you sound like d!ckhead. HIDs are illegal if not fitted right and cause accidents.

"well you sound like d!ckhead."
Well you sound illiterate mate! :)
Also I will make sure I have all necessary legal components if I decide to upgrade. :)

bullsh!t, theres no way you could justify the cost of retro fitting a self leveling sensor, you don't know what you're talking about.

What?? :shocked:
How can you possibly comment on what I could "justify" spending my money on.
I will check with my local dealer today and see what they say so I can make an informed decision. :grin: :drool:
I started this thread so I could gather advice not be preeched to by some total C##k! :laugh:

f**king hell 2007GTI, who took the jam out of your doughnut? :rolleyes:
He is correct in that the law requires self levelling sensors, however you wont fail an MOT if you dont have them. Im a bit undecided as to how well this levelling sensors work, I've seen on some cars they are total over kill and actually do more harm than good. Any slight bump and the lights are all over the place.

Some sensors are set up better than others :afro:

Thanks for your help and info Al,

you go ahead and check, but you're the one with a GT TDI, so you're really the c**t
-
Maybe buy the right car in the 1st place :lipsrsealed:
-
Just go for the real deal because you can't put xenon's in reflectors and you won't be able to link levelling sensors to aftermarket HID kits. The oem xenons go for around £350-£450 on the bay.

Why's that then..........
Good performance and good MPG! Who's the C##T now then! Oh and hows the tasty tax aswell!
But at least you have not made any retarded sentence error's this eve! :drool: :grin: :rolleyes:

Thanks mate,
right car wrong lights! :smiley:
