I put together my xenons for under £1k,
Is it just me that finds spending a grand on a pair of headlights obscene?
Wheels and tyres I can go along with, but headlights?
I'm going to reply to this in bold as it makes me look self important! 
Lots and lots of stuff that would take up too much space if Dubber36 included it all in this quote
I get all that and in fact have retro fitted xenons into my B5.5 Passat, but this car has projector lights as standard. VW could have made it easier for us by fitting projector lights from the off. But then I guess less people would order factory xenons.
I wasn't singling you out Simon BTW, it's just that your post embodied the sort of thing any one sane would say/think/post so was the prime example.
Retro fit of projector lenses in normal lamps sounds good though, as long as it's simple. Then all would be required to do would be to whip them out upon dealer and MOT visits and shove in your old standard lights.
I still reckon I'll end up going retro fit factory xenon or more likely nothing at all.
