Maybe these Phillips ones would fit?? They got a good review in Autoexpress.

I think these would work well, would need some work to get them to fit but much better than ebay special headlights IMHO.

These can be got for a pretty good price at Euro Car Parts too (plus 20% off this month with code JAN20), £91 delivered  :smiley:

On the Phillips website theres a 'Try before you buy option' where you can download a front picture of your car and paste the LEDs on......

So here's one I made earlier with Phillps Daylight 4's

Nice  :smiley:

Given those grilles are only £19 each from VW I think it would be worth buying a set to modify to fit the philips LED's  :cool:

Be good if you could fit them inside the fog light itself so the car gets some nice glowing fangs!
I'm not 100% sold on them but they've got to look better than the yellow DRLs on the non Xenon equipped cars (I turned my DRLs off as they look like dirty teeth).

That answered my next questions  :grin:
"How much are the grills, are they seperate to the main grill, how do they come off?"

Thats similar to what i was thinking but them a bit higher on that grill in the first slot.

Its the angle of these grills i was concerned with as it will but the lights at a angle.

I also fancied smoked DRLs which i have seen, that way when its parked it will look more oem rather than an extra  light unit fitted.
