Ok my opinion:
1. Like it or not. Xenons are awesome lights. At night or even in poor lighting. They enhance everything around you and high beam is like having your football stadium worths of lights in fron of you.
2. They look awesome on the GTI. They give the car a very hardcore look in the front which I feel the halogens dont give. I think the xenons just finish the car off.
3. Xenons cost extra (and a lot) But this also helps with resale. I have noticed that here in South Africa there are a lot of GTI's with the 18" Monza rims (Which are about 6000 rand per rim. Basically like buying 4 high end laptops) but they dont have the xenons. And when it comes to used vehicles the cars with the xenons always go first.
4. Finally. You are buying a Ed30. Im not sure if its still limited edition since it has not been comfirmed I think but if you can afford it you should get it.
As said before in these posts, it all depends on whether you drive often during the evening. Becasue if the car is never going to be used at night then I personally feel the money spent on the xenons is wasted money. But then again, if you want the car to look good. Then get them.
