Changing front Headlight and fog light bulbs...

[Eshreff]

any ideas on cornering lights? are they also H8 and located in headlights or fogs?

these are the two bulbs i used;

9005 Xenon HID Super White Head Light Bulb High Low Fog - eBay (item 270480799840 end time Dec-30-10 11:05:32 PST)
note, these ones i had to be mod' to fit the power socket

Philips Diamond Vision HID H7 5000K headlight bulbs fog - eBay (item 140473354951 end time Dec-02-10 01:45:04 PST)

i have photos of the car at night with them on in another thread

UPDATE: done and Philips xtremevisions installed. Happy with result. The solution was to apply more force.

Glad to hear it all worked out for you with no breakages

himm, how do you take off the fog lights? is it a must to remove the front headlights before? or is there a better solution =)

Has anyone tried these?

Has anyone tried these?

Yeah, exactly what I used. Even the "+100%" version. I replaced one side first so I can compare. Subjectively it is definitely brighter, and a bit whiter without being too douchey. Less sure if it's +35m or 100% brighter if you measure it. All in all a mod that's pretty easy, isn't too expensive and probably worthwhile results. Check maverick's site for objective comparisons.

Im going to put new globes into my new Polo GTI (thinking the Phillips Blue Vision), exactly which model globes do i need for the headlights and parkers? I will just leave the fog light globes standard as il never really have them on. Many thanks

Here is a link to ebay auction, for what i think im after?
Philips H7 12v Blue Vision BlueVision + 5w park globes | eBay

Can anyone help me here?

The GTI has H7s at the front for main and dipped beams and W5W for the parkers.

Those BlueVisions you linked to should be appropriate but you'll need two sets.
