So your dipped beams? They are already HID Xenons?

Bepe doesn't have a GTi so I'm presuming he means HIDs for his dipped beams? In that case you can get them and retro fit them, a very popular mod.

Best to get them from HIDs4U, and contact AlexPerkins for the discount.

In terms of HIDs for the GTi, you can get them for the full beams and fog lights,

I'd like to get HIDs for the foglights but have heard the casing will melt, anyone else confirm this?

GTI headlamps are good enough. Unforunately I don't get to see them from the outside being the driver, but I'm told they look ace

No. Chances are they'll probably be H7's I think. The Xenon bulbs in the GTi are D2S bulbs, completely different bottom.
