Do a search mate, there are other posts about changing sidelight bulbs etc.

i have got some philips bulbs for mine. they r called blue vision, ultra. havent had a chance to fit them as i dnt know how to take the bumper off and im not paying silly money for someone to do it for me.

I got them from ebay for Â£8 check them out. My mate has got them on his golf Gti and they look 10times better then standard.

I have fitted these bulbs and can fully recommend them as a good match for the Xenons

as they appear white and not off yellow. I would also replace the main beams whilst the bumper is off

Just so you guys know, if police want to be anal about it, Indicators have to FLASH yellow when turned on. They can appear to look white/silver, but when flashing they must be Yellow.

Wouldnt want you guys getting pulled and given a Â£30 finelike some ppl that i know hah !

I used osram silver for my main beam and if you order from powerbulbs.co.uk you get the side lights for free

. I also managed to get 10% discount for being a Corrado Forum member. As for fitting it is a bumper off job, there is a guide on here somewhere which was really useful. Take care when removing the indicators as the clips are very fragile, the HID (i think that's what they are) units are fiddly, but only require loosening. Allow about a hour and a bit of back ache for the first time. There are lots of bolts which are not always obvious so don't try to force anything.

I have now fitted blue sidelights and Osram headlights to match the Xenons much better - got it done when I had the car semi-resprayed so he had bumper off anyway !

I got mine from Ultraleds.co.uk, or .com( can't remember!) They have a wide selection of LED sidelights with the correct fitting for the GTI. The superbright single LED is what is on my ride, and they give off a xenon light which compliments the HID perfectly.

Can anyone tell me the exact details for some of these Phillips Sidelights and Headlights, the ones that match the xenons. Also, once the bumper is off how do you fit them?

Would these do the trick?
