Hey,

i just needed to know whats bulbs to the 6n2's take for the head-lights and the side-lights.

I'd be grateful if someone could let me know please.

Also, has anyone tried the philips blue vision ultra blue?

The dip and fogs are H7's, there is little point upgrading the beam which is a H1. The sidelights, am not sure about. Its a 5W Bosch 501 (written on it). Cool thing about the newer headlights is that you can inspect the bulbs through the glass. :)

I'm kinda confused now!

Just checked up on a website, and it says the main/low beam is a H4! :?

no its not, because that would mean same reflector for high and low beam. The lupo uses H4's But the Mk5 uses a H1 in nearest the grill and H7 nearest the indicator, the sidelight is in the beam reflector at the bottom.

See I know my lights, mine had H7 xenons for a bit, but they were just too damn bright, so I put them in the fogs, which are conveniently also H7. One day I might see if I can fit the projector units from the GTi, but till that day they can stay in my fogs.

They may have been halogen xenon look-a-likes, but they wouldn't be the proper xenon gas discharge bulbs.

You should check them out. they'll blind anyone/every1! :twisted:
