oh ok kool, i just bought them for £120 not bad hey... i am thinking about putting HID's in these lights is it possible? or is there away to give them the Xenon look?

hi, does anyone know how to fit these, there are some loose red and black wires that need to be connected somewhere, also does anyone know where i can buy some silver indicator bulbs? thanks

[Hurdy]

Komenda fitted these himself. Give him a pm, I'm sure he'll help

The silver indicator bulbs can be bought at your local Halfrauds

Sorry - but no HIDs.  That would make them mighty illegal.

Hop over to this thread http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=7198 - where you will get a nice 10% off at PowerBulbs.com, and look for some Philips X-Tremes.

I've bought the same headlights myself recently. Waiting for them to arrive  . Are the auto raise/lower functions only on cars bought with xenons? I know mine has a manual raise/lower but no automatic one since it doesn't have factory xenons.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh these look quite nice . . . .  hummmmmm? Im tempted to get these next month althought I HIGHLY doubt Im going to try and get them in myself. Im just wondering if the blue tint would suite my black car  . . . . ?

hahahaha ! fooker !

Iv got sub / amp setup AND not forgetting my Phillips bulbs. Sounds wasnt cheap but got a bit of money to spend on something at the moment. Would need to get a quote on having it fitted first.

Yup.

And if you have AFLs, then the beams are automatically swiveled left and right too!    Each headlamp unit then needs three servo motors!

I know mine has a manual raise/lower but no automatic one since it doesn't have factory xenons.

Which makes it one of the crucial reasons why you can't put zenons on your car.  Even if someone were to purchase the genuine OEM Xenon headlamps, they would still be illegal without all the other self-leveling gubbins.

And as for retro-fitting HIDs into halogen lamps, then this is illegal, even if you do fit all the auto-leveling.
