are they legal in standard 6n2 headlights without projectors, did you have to get your beam setting aligned to pass m.o.t??

lol the GTI lights are much more than that. Brand new they are £160+the VAT for each headlight to trade! Plus £120 for each ballast, and £50 per bulb...its quite expensive. Been there and had the bill!

Best way of getting the original gti lights is through breaking polos or at vw shows
I picked up a pair at santa pod last year for £25

black are sick cool mate, if I were you I'd go for them, silver will look too colour coded with the car ... would like it if you let us know how they do when they are fitted :wink: they are on top of my shopping list as well hehe :lol:

Just fitted my headlights. They look awesome! black was a good choice in the end, as you said dub. iv'e fitted 100w rally bulbs into the projectors and they've come out almost as bright as hid's. :D there also a slight blue colour which i wanted. so altogether good buy!

The 100W bulbs could see you problems at MOT time as they are not a road legal bulb, so beware of that.
