    Replacement headlights in Polo

    Are there any 3rd party Polo headlights available that are better than the stock ones? I have ordered a Polo GTI and considering removing the Xenon lights from my order just to keep costs down

    Do you want Xenon, HID or standard Halogen?

    You would need the adapters otherwise you would get all matters of error codes, there are two on ebay with the adapters however you would need to confirm that they are Right hand drive headlights due to the leveling mechanism with left/right hand drive cars.

    Also due to our good ole fun police if you buy aftermarket xenon you would need the washer system.

    My advice...keep the Xenon option...its a lot cheaper than doing it yourself...

    Its not the levelling issues that u would have with left hand drive cars.....its the way they bend....our cars the light is angled to the left to keep the light out of peoples eyes coming the other way....in Germany there lights are angled right....definatly make sure they are for Right hand drive cars if you are gonna do that.....i reckon those Xenon stock lights look awesome...

    You could always buy the deflector stickers from europe as well...but it won't look good lol.

    Aside from the fact that by changing your order can potentially really bump you back down the queue.......

    Just stick with the xenons, if you're worried about keeping costs down, to get a similar level of light output and refinement, you're not really going to save that much in the long run.
