looking at them pictures, of urs, instead of the bogus ebay ones, makes them look brilliant! have you got any with the headlamps on? do the led lights come on auto? or do you need ur side lights on? any more pics mate? looks nice thou!

only reason i asked, is because im fixing a damaged gti, and i want some thing close to xenon, without paying 800+

I also have them and also love them  :smiley: You don't have to wire up the angel eyes to anything, so you can leave them out if you want  :smiley: You'll just have to tuck away the two wires for them. I haven't installed mine properly yet, just tested, because I want to wire up the LEDs as DRLs instead of linking them to the sidelights. Haven't had the time to do it yet  :sad:

Yeah they look pretty sweet.
Did everyone that has these buy them from ebay?

Any pics with the headlights on?

Hurdy, I guess that the small inner lights are the indicators?
As others have said, would love to see a photo of them fully lit up. Also, what's the wiring like, do they use the OEM style connectors (is are they plug & play) ?

Angel eyes work fantastic on some cars, and on others, they're crap. Not sure about the mk5.

Love the DRL strip at the bottom though.

Yes, the inner ones are the indicators.
