I require D3S apparently, as they're to go into the stock OEM Xenon headlights.
Hi guys,
The drivers side headlight is out on my 2013 Polo GTI with OEM Xenon's.
What's the best way to go about a replacement?
Rang up the stealership and they quoted $408.95 for 1 gas...

You should take it down to the drags and see what it runs! :)
Quick note on DSG. (without turning this into a transmission comparison thread)
I run the DSG on my 6R Polo GTI. (admittedly, it was the only option available when purchasing 6R GTI)
Modified...

Very clean Sir.
So does 6C have to sets of Fog bulbs? The fogs you replaced do the outside cluster, but there's also a separate innner one?

I haven't posted in this section since around the late 80's.
- De-wiper kit on the rear.
- Flow-Design lip on the front.
- Not sure if HP APR Intercooler, Intake and exhaust pics were posted...
Just got back from the drags here in Perth.
After 4 attempts, I FINALLY managed to crack into what I was hoping for. Pretty happy!
Ambient Temp: 13.6 degrees
Track Temp: 18.6 degrees...
Weather permitting, I'll be heading down Wednesday next week to go give it another crack.
Will be interesting to see how much ambient temp plays a difference (if any).
Thanks for the wealth of info there.
Never thought about using the handbrake for the launch. Maybe I'll try it next time. Damn pity our cars don't have launch control. Does the HP DSG tune...
Not bad dude! What was your driving method for the evening?
Traction off, and then manually shifting with the paddles, or running it in S-Mode?
Also what was the trackside temps like?
I only use BP Ultimate or Caltex Vortex 98.
There's pages upon pages of info and opinion on this kind of thing, but I assume it's all much of a muchness for any given octane grade.
The only...
Ah... plus yours is a 6C, so we're comparing two completely different cars. :D
Yeah 15.08 sounds about right for stock. Our runs were in the middle of a Perth heatwave with 40 degree ambient temps at the track. :o
I'll hit it again before the season closes on a cool crisp...
LOL, no. (See my signature)
There was another Polo GTI 6R which was stock as a rock and getting 15.2's.
I always wanted to do the sound actuator thing.
Too late now, full exhaust installed. :p
Either I got super lucky buying mine (brand new) back in 2013, or as mentioned previously, the Forums tend to create a false sense of concern by showing a very filtered view (by its very nature) of...
Must sound great dude!! :)
All good info guys, keep it coming!
Just great to have a whole bunch of performance related info in the one place. :)
So I took my 6R GTI to the drags for the first time last night here in Perth. Temperature wise it definitely wasn't the smartest idea, as Perth's in the middle of a mini heatwave at the moment, and...
Yep all makes sense now.
The damn Detroits weighed heaps!
What width are yours again? Also is yours 6C?
My 17x8 without tyre came in at just 8.5KG (18.74 lbs) each which from memory was about a good 4KG off each corner as I'm pretty sure I weighed the...
Just to confirm, this is a 6R Polo GTI you're talking about yeah? (not TSI?)
