changing to xenons
changing to xenons
hi guys, just recently bought the new polo gti, and was thinking about changing the headlights over to xenons.
my last car had xenons (old polo gti) and you can really notice the difference when you go back to driving a car with normal headlights.
just wondering how easy are they to fit, and would it cause a problem in regards to the warenty?

its not a requirement in the MOT to check levellers and headlight washers.abdnmoh wrote:Its easy, I dont think there permanent..BUT has any1 been stopped by the police for having them??

How come some people remove the front bumper to fit them though? Aye, also, have you had any problems from the police about them?kc wrote:piece o' p*** mate
because it uses the original clip that clips onto the bulb as a power source, all you need to physically do is take everything off, put a bulb back in and clip it on, takes 10 mins tops!

i managed to mount my ballasts to the suspension tops, so its alright in there. i was thinking of removing the bumper to hide them in the supports, but not really worth the hassle
and touch wood *touches wood* i havent had any hassle from the police yet... but they think its standard xenon anyway as they are not stupid blue.
