GTi & GTD xenon headlights

[Jimble]

It will probably be like the MK6 Xenons which use the Xenons for the headlight Flash.
The bulbs used are D1S which are instant on as they are pre-charged via the electronics built into the bulb.

Thanks, Mike

Crikey! Delete your account because someone asked you to say please??

Keep calm and join in.....

This is where it gets confusing. Your second picture appears to have a third lamp in the center of the cluster. Could this be a cornering lamp as the car also appears not to have fog lights?

Does anyone really know what the car they've ordered is going to look like yet?

Yeah, the one in the middle is the static cornering light as you can see the reflector is to the side of the bulb instead of behind it, the uk cars will have fog lights but won't be used for cornering like mk6 GT's do.

And yes i am off to the NEC tommorrow so will hopefully be up close to one.

Is there anything in particular anyone wants a picture of and i'll do my best?

Jimble, would you mind getting a picture of the rear diffuser* on a GTD please? *spelling?

Next time i see one mate i will do but i haven't got one atm, i'll have a rummage and see if i can fond one unless someone beats me to it. 

Thanks Jimble, or anyone else who can. I still, yet haven't managed to see one in the flesh... the benefits of living in the middle of nowhere I guess

Hi mate, welcome to the forums!  As others have said, don't leave on account (no pun intended!) of what happened.  Things can get a bit too Politically Correct at times, but at the end of the day these are forums to discuss things and ask questions.  I saw nothing wrong with your original post at all - your question was descriptive, and not rude or abrupt.  For me, certainly in a forum, there is an implied appreciation at the point of asking a question, with actual thanks being provided if/when somebody makes the effort to reply appropriately.

What happened?  What was the BIG event, other than a touchy geezer with no manners.

Seriously all I said was please and thanks, on someones first ever post in my mind when asking questions that is generally good manners 

I digress from the original post and will now move on.

A guy makes one nicely articulate post, asking a question but because they didn't say "many thanks in anticipation of your warm welcome and continued support" (I know, that was OTT on purpose), you brand them as having no manners.  It's also the abrupt way you did it, and added the rolling eyes.  It was uncalled for and would have probably put me off bothering with the forums had I been in their shoes.

Anyway, you are right, this is digressing.

Running Man,

I'm sure I remember you insulting Bear and Matchboy (correct me if I'm wrong) in the not so distant past with anything other than manners!!!

Of course we are all allowed our opinions but in this situation you are out of order.

[Jimble]

I'm surprised that the UK cars are coming with active xenons when there is no mention of it in the brochure/price list? Seems it'd be quite a nice selling point?

[Gryzor]

That was a misunderstanding, I like and respect everyone on here.

I have Xenons on the m6, I love the way they dance when you switch on, the LED's still look ace now and IMO just as good as the new Mk7 LED's 

Aww, pre-edit we love you too Running Man

I've had xenons on a previous car, but the only dance has been a quick up-and-down shuffle.  Looking forward to the Mk7 xenons
