Anyone that says they are a wank, hasn't driven a car with them.

Sorry Dave, I have done many ks with them and they still are a w@nk around town. "Look at me, look at me, I've got xenons", give me a break

We'll have to agree to disagree then.

Agree 100%. I had a car with them for a weekend and now loath driving my current car at night which doesn't have them! Anyone that says they are a wank, hasn't driven a car with them.

And when you want to go do a late night blast through the hills, they're AWESOME!

Just noticed your sig Dave with your order in for an "R", anyone with enough readies to splash for an "R" deserves my respect I hope the xenons are standard 4 you.
Respectfully yours,
Brian

You must be thinking of cheap HID kits or fog lights.

Mate no one is forcing you to get them, or any other options for that matter, just offering their advice.

No doubt they are good, I just think they should be standard or at least a cheaper option. In the US, they are $700 option which is a no brainer. But $2000 buys an APR tune and tint/intake. Decisions...

Agree they are expensive and a income booster for vw. I live in metropolis but still use high beam most nights I drive so am looking forward to mine.
BTW Iboost nice choice in GTI

Thanks trueman, looks like yours is similar spec to mine. The more I hang out on these boards the more I am dieing to get it.

Just flip a coin..

3 weeks isn't that long ago if you have to place a new one.

Xenon's are still perceived as a luxury item rather than a standard feature/safety item in Australia. My comments earlier about then being a sought after option stand - particularly in Sydney where people want to be seen with them. Sydney is a wank.. but that doesn't bother me. I think Xenon's look better so I'd option them for that reason alone. I never drive on country roads. To each their own I suppose and I guess that's one good reason for them to remain optional rather than standard. Not everyone will see the benefit, aesthetically or functionally.
