ahhhhhh but when i say standard i mean STANDARD . mines a replica ha ha ha . will all these nightbreaker things fit normal golf headlights :grin:

I'd gathered that  :grin: Yes Nightbreakers will fit stock halogen headlights. Only dip beam tho'. I don't know of any upgrade bulb for the main beam / DRL lamp.

Main beam is a H15 bulb. It's twin filament. One for 55W for main beam and a 15W one for the DRL.

Main beam on halogens are definately as mentioned H15 twin fillament , no aftermarket ones available. Ive been looking for ages and noboby makes H15 upgrades such a shame as they are so yellow.

H7's are your headlight bulbs, W5W are your sidelight bulbs both of which can be upgraded, your factory DRL's are H15 which no-one makes an upgrade for so just turn them off (tells you how in the manual).
