Title: Anni/R32 headlights
Post by: cossiemark on 10 February 2013, 14:13

I have a 51 plate golf 1.8t gti what is the difference in the headlights on the anni/R32 and gti?

I'm not 100% sure but........

R32 headlights are xenon - but they can be on any golf if they've been spec'd at time of purchase

Anni lights are similar to standard but the chrome inside the light is less so it looks darker

Gti lights are just the bog standard lights

Like I said I'm not 100% sure but I think that's correct

Hope that helps

- Correct, R32 had xenons as standard:

An don't forget the xenons need a wiring loom to work on a car that wasn't meant for xenons.
The plugs are different. Standard cars are 10pin cars that came with xenons are 12 pin
An either you need to mod the rheostat in or put level sensors on the 4 corners, it is a bit of work in the end
