    Just to add a bit more technical info for those who feel the urge to blind the rest of us on the road by buying cheap retro fit HIDs off ebay:

    Hey Geoffiez89, I'm not a "headlight globe" fanatic so I've no idea if they're HID or Halogen globes you're talking about. If they are HID then they are illegal. It doesn't matter how good the brand or quality is.

    If they are Halogen and what you're asking is are they are marked improvement over the stock halogen lights in your TSI, then I think you'll find this thread interesting:

    It's from the Golf MK6 forum, but halogen globes are halogen globes, and these guys have had their cars for longer to talk about this topic.
    Have a read through it and look at people's suggestions, but I think that one of the most useful links is from Maverick and from his "My GTI" site:
    Halogen | my-gti.com
    The last 3 articles on that link will be of particular interest.

    Buy add on later

    Hi all,

    I'm planning to get a polo GTI with add ons. Due to limited funding I'm not able to get the xenon light at the start. I just want to know can I get the car first and then install the xenon later?

    Tony, do a search and read through a few of the posts on this topic; basically you could, but it would end up costing a fortune and you would have a great deal of trouble making it legal. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    Yes, the lights on their own are around $1600, then you need to add head light washers (+new bumper & paint) and the auto level sensors in the car, so it can cost you up to $3k. You are going to wait at least 6 to 12 months for your car, so save another month or two and get your car then with the xenon lights and thing you want in it.

    Planned - lots, but the "financial manager" says NO

    Lights: $530 each (UK dealer price)
    Auto leveling kit with sensors: $463 (Kufatek price)
    Headlight Washers: $ no listed price
    Headlight washer piping:$ no listed price
    Bumper modified and resprayed: $450 approx
    Globes: $45 each

    Sorry dude

    sugilun, I've merged your two threads here. If you want Xenon, get them from factory. 1) It's cheaper. 2) It doesn't make your car illegal. As you can see from gavs post, not even the regulars can find the required headlight washing parts...

    The dealers will also not do this work, again, due to the legalities and costs involved.
