  • GTI Pirelli Light Upgrade

    Let me give you all a brief background....I've just "upgraded" from an 06 TFSI Jetta, which had the Bi-Xenon's(AWESOME LIGHTS!), and the Pirellie I got, didn't have the Xenon's fitted, so no big deal.

    I was reading another post, which suggested the Osram Night Breakers, from Powerbulbs, in the UK. So, first off, Powerbulbs is a very effecient business, and gets your goods to the door very quickly. I was very impressed. I can't speak to the cost vs getting them in Aus, as I didn't even check, I just got the H7 Night Breakers, and the HB4's for the fog lights, as a bonus, they gave me the W5W phillips blue lights, which was very cool! I'm a bit of an impulse buyer

    Anywho, the install was easy for the low beams, just remove the holder and put in the new bulb and twist back in. It's pretty neat in the fact that there is no wiring coming off the back of the low beam bulb! The fog lights just needed the one(1) screw removed, and then the 3 torx screws and wallah the fog lights were done! However, those bloddy little park lights...wow they hurt! The drivers side is really hard to get out, but the passanger side aint no picknick either. Just keep pulling from left to right on the bulb holder, until it comes out...It will, it's just going to hurt doing it.

    I'll get some pics up shortly, or when the sun goes down, but I have to say that they are well worth it! The combo I have is Philips Blue Vision 9006 HB4, the Osram Night Breaker H7 and the Philips Blue Vision W5W(which is still free on thier site powerbulbs.com)

    Enjoy!

      You can also purchase from powerbulbs ebay store and save a few dollars if you don't want the bonus sidelight globes they offer on their website.



      I have some pictures here comparing them to stock.

        just under $100, after conversion. Didn't do the high beam, as I hardly use them, so didn't see the point in spending another 20+ pounds!

        Sorry bout the light differences, but that was the only pic i had from before. You can see the color dif though.

          Looks the goods!

          I would have thought for the extra money the Pirellis came standard with Bi-Xenons?

            How do you find the standard lights compared to the Xenons. Do you still get good light output.

            Do you think there is $2K worth of difference?

              I do love the xenon's, not just for their extra light, but the ashetics are stunning! For 2k, I think they are worth it, but if your choice is xenon's over say, leather, then leather wins. If the choice is over xenon's and a body kit on the Jetta, like it was for me, the xenon's win. I'm dissapointed that I don't have the xeonon's, but I do enjoy the longer time between fills on the washer bottle though!
