Headlight / Headlamp Upgrades (Bi-Xenon / HID / LED / Replicas)

For all of you who think that 6000K bulbs are the way to go you should read this RVLEDBulbs.com - RV LED Bulbs, RV LED Lights and Light Accessories and go down to the box that says

Understanding Lighting colors and light output.

May make you think again but probably not

I've just done a halogen to Golf R style projector headlight swap on my 2010 GTI. Also used a good quality Morimoto 35w Canbus 5500k HID kit. I am very happy with the headlights overall.

My headlights are Eagle Eye brand and look exactly the same as the Golf R silver housings. I am extremely fussy, and have been looking into this upgrade for about 12 months - so i was pleasantly surprised to know that fitment was great, quality also looks great, plugs and wiring were concealed and neat, and the light output is much better than the factory halogens.

I have seen the Vacar branded lights in person and the quality never won me over - plus lots of people have issues with condensation and clear coat peeling. I purchased these through a Sydney based business on Facebook. VCDS Coding & Diagnostics Sydney is the Facebook page to look for if you are interested.

Thanks for that Lucas, I've been searching for a while and haven't found anything non-oem that makes the cut. This looks really good, will hit them up.

Lucas, you mind telling us the price of the headlamp units?

I have been looking into this upgrade for quite some time - so im hoping that i made a good choice with these headlights. So far so good at this stage, although its only been about a month.

Was it a simple plug and play or had to buy other sensors and all?

Its all plug and play. No additional parts needed. The only thing i had to do was a coding change with VCDS to tell the car i didn't have DRL's so that i didn't get an error on the dash for a faulty light bulb.
