Thanks for the quick reply chaps, ordered some from power bulbs tonight, ordered the blue vision ones as i am after a xenon look and they are highly recommended ! Also got side lights for free and the forum discount so worked out pretty good !

Cheers  :cool:

Thanks mate :cool: I really wanted E30 Dub  but left it to late it was only P or L30 Dub I could get, always watch out for any other Ed 30's with E30 Dub on them not seen it yet :huh:!! I got offered E 3 OVW   at gti international back in 2007 from a chap but it was to expensive.

Can't wait to fit them, I bought a set of Hid's lst year but wasn't that impressed looked to blue in my opinion :shocked:

Just replaced my dipped headlights for the Philips BlueVision and am very happy with the results, and very easy to fit. Thanks for the recommendations.

I also got the free blue sidelight bulbs from powerbulbs.com (great service), but they ARE a nightmare to fit. I can't get the old ones out, so I am going to search on the forum for advice.

I used had to resort to using a set of pliers to get them out.

I used my fingers and persistance.

I tried pliers but all I ended pulling on were the wires to the sidelight! Thankfully I realised what I was tugging on and stopped.

These are the ones that I have in mine and have been very impressed and are a great improvement over the original "candles" that VW provide. There have been a few threads on this so take a closer look with the search function to get more opinions.

http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=81

When I bought these I got these free as they had a deal going on. Id say its also worth getting these aswell if the deal is no longer on:

You also get a forum membership discount of 10% off - http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=7198.0

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that, I think I might pick some of those X-Treme H7's up as the standard bulbs are worse than a candle in a jam jar!

I also went for the phillips bluevisions and managed to fit the sidelights which came free.
Just get a pair of pliers onto the plastic holder and pull the bulb out it just clips in and should come out no problem.  :cool:

Any pics of the light from the blue visions? I want to know if they really do give off a blueish light.
