Relevant to this thread:

Low beam- in crystal vision (as above), love them!
DRL/ hi beam- with the covers, great upgrade, not perfect but better than orange and get a lot of comments on them!
Parkers- in LED, awesome no error, bright white ( almost make my crystals look yellow now, ha)

Back lights and interior done too but that is a different thread.... Hehe!

Just wondering where you got the canbus parkers......bought a few different suposedly error free T10 LEDS but coloured, all not working and coming up with error..

I'm not sure if the OEM make and model of the high beam is answered, but suitable replacements are answered in this thread, so have a read through.

As for changing to HID's, since that's illegal in Australia, the discussion is in another thread. As per The MK6 Index Thread, there is the http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...ade-40198.html thread

I finally got hold of the blue covers direct from Xtec to fit over the H15 bulbs. Definitely a change from the original yellowish look. It is like a cobalt blue colour to give a xenon look... great for the city, but I wouldn't recommend these to folk who may be doing country driving as they actually reduce the amount of light output of the high beams.

Hi all,

Has everyone purchased all the blubs and covers from ebay or is there a store now supplying them here in Australia???

I'll ask the same question TeamCrash asked on the xenon thread... I have a 2011 GTI and I want to replace the halogen globes with better performing halogen globes for both low and high beam. I do not want to put blue covers on anything - just better performance, probably cool the colour temp slightly and still comply with road safety laws and manufacturers warranty. Also want to buy from Australia if possible.

So which globe for the low, which for the high to achieve the above? I read this whole thread but am not closer to understanding which would be best for my situation. H11? H7? H15?

thanks

I could be wrong, but doesn't H11, H7, H15 refers to the type of bulb fitting? Like household bulbs with ES or BC type.
