All GTI/D bumpers have the cutouts with blanks in, but you only get washers if you specify them as part of the winter pack or with xenons.

As for retro fitting xenons, I've fitted W8 bi-xenons to my Passat without washers or auto levellers, in fact no levellers at all, and it has passed 2 MOTs. Generally if your xenons don't look aftermarket, you can get away with them.

Oh, so I will have to also fit the washers  :sad:

Does anyone know of this being done? Where to buy, part numbers, cost ect...as I wud like the full setup...

I don't get all the "damn, no washers" talk.

Buy new xenon headlights, fit them, look cool, see where you are going at night, pass your MOT's as the tester won't notice, then just before you sell the car, swap them back for your halogens and sell them to get your money back.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Good point, I just might do that...
