Best place to source projector headlights?

[vk]

Hey guys,

All threads about this seem to point to older threads such as Benoughs guide, but i cant seem to find the Hella projectors online.

Bks tuning has them for about $720 without shipping, that almost stacks up to an OEM kit...

Wondering if anyone knows a good seller?

Thanks in advance,

There's a link for Hella's (OEM) in this thread.

Are you trying to replace a damaged unit or retrofit the car?

Was the eBay link from tuning-fanatics-shop? I grabbed mine from here: NEW Original Hella Golf Jetta 5 V MK5 Xenon Look Headlights SET GTI R R | eBay

Piss easy install, there's plenty of DIY's about that will sort you out. If you're having trouble I'm in VIC and would be happy to help you depending on the area you live in. It's a bit of a fiddly process, but I did mine without removing the bumper as I was doing it by myself. Far easier to do it with the bumper off though.

Edit: Once you get them (hoping they come with the bulbs) you'll notice the output of light is crap. Your standard reflectors will be far greater. Grab a full Xenon kit from the likes of Bold-Sport: http://www.bold-sport.com/store/inde...product_id=189

They were my second-choice after my VISION kit, but the VISION's do nicely.

I think Tuning-Fanatics also include lamps as opposed to others

They do indeed include all Bulbs necessary, but they're Halogen and no Xenon. When I put mine in the Projectors showed very little light with the Halogens, but once I went to a Xenon kit I had to change the direction of the headlights.

I found the halogen light output from the Hella projectors quite good really. No less that the halogen reflectors. Xenon is definitely better though.

Really? I found the output absolutely pathetic. I could barely see anything at night.

Actually got them from this seller in that thread a bit later on:
HELLA UPGRADE XENON-LOOK SCHEINWERFERSET GOLF V MK5 GTI | eBay

Had to personally contact the seller to organise it all though.
