To do a proper job its expensive as said, that doesn't stop people from just not putting on the levelling sensors or jet washers.

Then they are just HIDs and they should be shot in the ball sack

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

"thanks for your help or lack of it", is slagging people off. I was bothered to answer, and said should do a PROPER SEARCH, if you cant be bothered, it makes you the TW@T. Why call me a waster, wheres that going to get you, just throwing random insults about the place, when you know nothing about me? you are definitely a TW@T, if you cant take any advice, you just slag people off.
You are an even bigger TW@T if you think you can slap HIDs on a MK5 golf for cheap and be legal.

search the forum, its very expensive to do it properly. without fitting self leveling sensors to the rear axle, its illegal and dangerous.

Errr..... no,

levelling sensors and washers being required for MOT is an urban myth ... it's not dangerous and is not illegal.

Xenon headlight units command a high price, even second hand, you will be able to buy looms to convert your halogen to xenon here http://www.kufatec.de/shop/ , you will also need vcds to set up properly. I'd budget for £400 to convert, on the premise that you have vcds already
