Welcome to the VW fold!
Re headlights, there are a few options:
1. Uprated bulbs (Philips Xtreme-Power, Osram Night-Breakers, etc). Same wattage as standard bulbs, but better light output.
2. Swap for projector-style headlamps (check out Mighty Mods for an episode where they changed the stock headlamps over to projector-style lamps).
3. HID upgrade. The R32 came with HIDs, so the OEM R32 headlamps will fit. But to do it legally, you need to add auto-levelling and washers (both of which you could get from the R32. Do *not*, for the love of God and all that is holy, put HIDs in the stock reflectors.
Regarding the taillamps, the same episode of Mighty Mods as the headlamp upgrade included a taillamp upgrade.
Just be careful buying cheap head/tail lamps from eBay. You're likely to get what you pay for them (cheap ****) if you're not careful.

The Aussie dollar is strong (again) against the US dollar, so worth considering.
Check out http://www.priceusa.com.au for shipping - at least compare their prices compared to TM Tuning, they may be able to save you a few dollars. Their service is excellent, I recommend them highly.

This may be stupid - but are your headlights levelled too low? I don't know if this was standard on all models.
2000 Mk IV GTI
2002 Volkswagen Bora V5 - 2007 Mazda 3 GT - 1998 Ford Contour Sport - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T - 2013 Volkswagen Passat 130TDI - 2015 Ford Escape 1.5 - 2016 Subaru WRX - 2018 Volkswagen Golf R Wolfsburg Wagon
To expand on this - the V6 models certainly had a manual height adjsutment mechanism, which is a little roller-wheel under the main headlight switch. It's deisgned for dipping your headlights if you're carrying a load (either people in the back or gear/equipment), and if its wound down, your lights will be aimed lower than they should be.
