HID Conversion for MkIV Bora

[FarQ]

Hi All,

anyone ever looked into the feasibility of converting to OEM HIDs? I'm pretty sure that they were offered as an option in Europe on the MkIV Bora.

there are conversion kits all over the web

etc etc

if your interested in a kit, let me know as about to get a whole bunch of kits in again.

my advice is to get aftermarket headlights iwth projectors as you'll get a clearer beam of light.

I was thinking more of the actual VW OEM HID light assembly with ballast etc..not aftermarket kits...

Yep, TM Tuning have them for sale.

My concerns are around how difficult it is to install the whole kit & kaboodle (including self-levelling, washing system, etc), or whether good projectors would be a better alternative (since the legal requirements there are easier, and thus cheaper, to meet).

I like the looks of these, kinda like the R32 lights but for the Bora instead:

MMM VW Factory HID Head Lamps

the R32 lights arent really R32 lights per-se they are Just HID Lamps

some GTIs and TDIs came with them over Here too...

If I get my Bora V6 4Motion, I'm considering the following headlights from TM Tuning:

And I'll match them to these taillights:

I think they'll look pretty schmick!

I like your thinking, I put very similar headlights on my 02 4 motion and the exact tail lights and I get so many comments about it.

Are you getting tail lights in too? I looked into LED tail lights... costs a friggin mint to get into aus. though!

[fuzion]

which led lights you after? i can ask a supplier i know if you like and try my best.

Was thinking something like these, or just something to suit black golf that light up decently. Stock ones are bright as when you brake, but not a fan of the red plastic with black paint.

these be the style of headlights you recommend for golf?

those tail lights are cheap, pick them up from ebay! same as the headlights, just see what YOu like .. as everybody has own opinions and tastes!

Just with the headlights; Do normal headlights have light shields to stop you blinding oncoming drivers? HID's have them, dunno so much bout halogen? Just that; if so, headlights would be no good from the US, as wrong side of the road.
