im sporting at OE looking set up (well, same as the mk 4 golf company car) with the hids and then the standard sidelight bulbs (as seen in my sig), for some reason i love the look, but on the jap car i got some white led sidelights a few year ago from japan, cant remember the brand but its a very expensive one and they are fantastic, might get some for the golf... i used some cheepo led sidelight bulbs in my old escort runner and they blew after a few month.... bloody crap!!
