Hey, I am looking for the LED lights that are the optional extra on the non GTI Polo, I purchased my car as a used vehicle, that didnt have the option selected.

I have found some on eBay, but are left hand drive, as they are from Germany
By any chance, anyone know a UK listing or site that may sell the set of LED headlights?
Thanks

edit: I already have LED bulb retrofits, into my reflectors, that I have checked with Halfords garage for beam pattern, and it works fine

Kufatec, but you'd need to check the compatibility with them.

Philips do a kit that converts halogen bulbs to LED, and they say the beam pattern is normal.
Which is crucial as, normally, putting LED bulbs into a halogen enclosure causes all sorts of pattern problems.
Unfortunately I can only find them for H11 bulbs, not H7....yet.
The kit is around £130 and sounds like an ideal solution for those who didn't get LED lights.

Wow! €1,999 (roughly £1,725) for LED headlight units to retrofit; assuming they’re compatible with the RHD Polo.

If they’re not plug and play, there’ll also be the cost of getting them fitted. Makes the £975 cost of speccing them ad part of a new car build a bit of a bargain!
I think I’d consider upgrading the existing factory halogen bulbs to something like Osram Nightbreaker before spending £1,700+ On the LED units. Or as Andy suggests, the Philips conversion kit.

Osram nightbreakers don't give a very white light at all.
If you want white, like LED, you need Philips Diamond vision H7 5000K.
They're still 55W/60W, so no risk of overloading the wiring.
