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

Please tell me photo 2 is with high beams on? If not, then ouch, there is very poor cut off and huge glare...
Photo 3 cut off looks not too bad but very difficult to tell from a photo as cameras tend to be poor at night.

Photo 2 is with the low beam on.
Not sure why it turned out like that because it looks nothing like that with the naked eye, just my iPhone camera made it look poor.
I'm just glad nobody is flashing their lights, and they're a massive improvement over halogen bulbs, until i change the headlights, it'll do.

White LED Parker's to get rid of that yellow light, next up, H15 bulb swap to complete the white light headlights

Can you replace the standard DRL bulbs in the Mk 7 Golf with LED bulbs? If so, what bulbs are recommended that won't throw an error on the dashboard?

Does anyone have any good recommendations for golf mk6 replica xenons? Feels like a lot of mk6 didn't not get these optioned from factory which I can understand kaldi they were a 3k option :/

I don't have a recommendation however, steer clear of Mars Performance lights.
I don't mean to knock the business because they're a great bunch of guys, however, a relative had the headlights on his Audi A4 B7 and they were horrendous, it was like sitting in a car with two candles strapped to the front bar, visibility was poor and no matter what globes were tried no improvements could be made.

Question: Has anyone tried to buy the whole Bi-Xenon headlights from VW? As in, the entire light, ballast, bulb etc? Can it be bought?

[Leonaires]

Hi disciple

I have inquired to a few of my local VW dealerships about the entire led bi xenon headlights with ballast , bulbs etc for the GTi that have halogens and all I got in return was "sorry we don't have any retrofit kits"

i think you could buy the oem bi xenons by itself, I didn't ask them that

oh if anyone know the Australian part number for the oem bi xenon lights, I would greatly appreciate it

I'm seriously considering going and getting a set of Depo LED Taillights (Cherry Red) and Eds Bixenon Headlights (the new non LED ones).

Someone convince me otherwise haha.

Just make sure you also buy the headlight washers and self leveling system to make the Bi-X headlight install legal.
I believe the wiring is also different for oem halogen and oem bi-x cars

True. Reading up on the various laws and what not.

The question I have, however, is whether or not the various ADRs that describe road vehicle headlights are applicable and legislated to all road users, or whether or not its for manufacturers. They're a set of design rules that manufacturers must meet in order to legally sell their products in Australia. I can't see much mention of whether or not its still applicable, and can be used to defect, a normal vehicle, once its in Australia. That vehicle would have already had to be ADR compliant to even be sold in Australia. Unless there is a stipulation somewhere that it must be ADR compliant to be considered road legal or whatever.

Anyone point me to any documents, either Australian or QLD specific?

Sounds like its a bit of a grey area, and all too much effort anyways haha.
