[Russ.C]

I know I already made my comments. lol

 No xenons....



(Heaven knows whose car that is... Just a random pic i took while cycling one day)

Off topic but - DAMN that red car is SHINY!!!! 

[08micsta]

You have no idea....
I pass it everyday when I go cycling. Its always parked at the same spot and always looks like that. Never ever seen it dirty.  Must find the owner one day. lol
Another pic...

Get xenons I think you will only end up regretting it if you dont, I think the ED30 looks better with them, it gives the car more of a presence

I value your different points of view... Xenons it is then!

Good choice. I think if your even asking the question then just get them. i would now never get a car without them!

This needs a poll 

I think it all depends on where you live, and the roads you drive on, as to how much they're worth to YOU

IMO they're just not worth £750 as an extra from new, for my circumstances.

I had  'em on a previous second hand VW

They never seem to auto-level quickly enough and I was ALWAYS getting flashed by oncoming drivers 

The washer jets were always coming on and wasting my washer fluid

I live in a City so commuting in the dark is no problem ... I can drive on side lights nearly

but then again, if I lived in remote Scotland, they would probably be the first on my options list

It depends on the time of day you drive and the types of road you drive on.  They have proved excellent on my daily commute to and from work.  Part of my commute is on a small winding B road and I can see everything even without putting on the full beams.

I do get the occasional flash from oncoming traffic, a couple of times a week, but that doesn't bother me.  They are bright though, road signs are lit up brightly and anything reflective like cones also shine bright.  You can also spot police cars from  miles back!

They may be set up a bit high (how do you tell?) but as I'm not constantly being flashed then I guess they are ok.

"can spot police from miles away"

I think you hit the nail on the head there!! Worth it for their ability to do this alone

i regret not ticking the option,previous car mk5 r32 an i didnt think id miss them,salesman talked me out of it buy saying it was a nice little holiday 750 pound,an i thought yeh hes right,anybody would have thought he was paying for them.Not essential but it does make the car that little bit more apealing

Surely a no-brainer! It doesn't matter what percentage of driving you do at night, the point is that whenever you drive at night you want to see everything as clearly as possible and Xenons provide this. As a consequence the safety factor is increased. If you're on a tight budget, then fair enough not to get them.
