Didnt have the chance to get any options when i got my GTI as it was one just sitting in the dealership.....Any chance getting xenon lights fitted on the car?

bump

i would have thought it possible; cost you an arm, leg and several internal organs though!
best bet is to try Ebay and even German Ebay
-
you can get an OEM kit from
http://www.tmtuning.com/vw/ (http://www.tmtuning.com/vw/) > lighting > golf 5
$1599 which given out current exchange rate is a really good price. pretty sure these will however be illegal
Teutonic_Tamer (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=15122) knows his stuff on the legality of xenons so you might want to drop him a PM
-
Generally considered not worth the cost after market if you want them legal.
You need headlights, blasters, bits of suspension, headlight washers etc.....
-
Sounsd like FAR too much hassle and money just for lights imo.
-
can't be done legally, see the heated debate here:

If you read all the posts, you'll see that you by law Xenons need auto leveling and headlamp washers, which are hard or near inpossible to retro fit.
TT, come to the rescue!

Sure are - and as such are all potential MOT failure points and/or possible cause for being blamed in an accident (due to oncoming glare)

Gibraltar is not strict like the UK...law heres are a joke especially on motor vehicles!They wont know what auto leveling is and wont know what headlamp washers are either :laugh:

err don't you mean RHD the UK is LHT left hand traffic, but the car is Right hand drive
the MK5 xenons should have a switch inside the unit that allows you to switch between RHD and LHD

But being a UK colony, you enjoy UK protection, and you still need to comply with UK law. You also need to comply with EU law. Under both jurisdictions, retro-fit xenons are illegal!

Just be ever so slightly pedantic, the lever merely converts the assymetric dipped beam into a neutral dipped beam! :nerd:
