Can you post few pics showing the HID bulb install inside of the housing?rix337 said:I did, and I really love them.
But you have to run capacitors in line with the bulbs or upgrade to the hiline lighting module.
Why do you need capacitors? Is it just a simple resistor to prevent the factory bulb warning from coming up?rix337 said:I did, and I really love them.

Are those projectors designed for HID lights, or are they for the tungsten bulb with an HID drop in kit? I really like those.Pelican18TQA4 said:
Yes, they are designed for HID. Hella makes two versions, Halogen and HID. They are not bi-xenon, but they do have a very nice E-code beam pattern and cutoff and they do come with a complete auto-leveling system and they do not require any additional parts to be installed.dzcad90 said:Are those projectors designed for HID lights, or are they for the tungsten bulb with an HID drop in kit?

I'm also going to assume they are not bi-xenon?

Found that after my PM to you. Still trying to figure out if I want to remove the asv and drill/tap. I know you just got a little warning, but I can see a service writer giving me a load if I have any warranty work...Pelican18TQA4 said:Thanks Turbine for linking to my very brief install thread. As for the cost of the lights, expect to pay in the neighborhood of $1,000 for them. I purchased mine from TMTuning and couldn't be happier.
If you want a set of halogen lights that look exactly like the OE bi-xenons, then you need to pick up the Hella HID-look lights. They can be retrofitted with a HID kit, if you so desire.Damien8 said:I've been looking for a set on eBay, but all of them seem to look cheap and have halos on them.
I want a set that looks exactly like the stock VW ones.
Anyone know where I can get these at a good deal?

ECS Tuning carries them, as does TM Tuning. Not sure if other places carry them.Damien8 said:Where is the best/cheapest place to get these?
That is a factory U.S. HID headlight housing, but considering it's advertised as new and is going for less than $300, I'd venture to say that it doesn't come with any of the internals (i.e., HID bulb, ballast, etc.) You'll easily spend just as much sourcing all of the other parts as you would've if you just bought the full headlight assemblies in my opinion.Damien8 said:
You do realized that auction is for ONE side, so at that price it's not a deal, might as well go with one of the reputable shops mentioned aboveDamien8 said:
