  • They will be blue/purple, that's for sure.

    • If you hav a gti with the optional bi-Xenons then yes, you do. That being said, I only know of 1 gti with the Xenons and that's a press vehicle.

      On a side note, 6500 is the max legal temp range on the HID globes you can use, these are the best for light penetration you can get with the closest falloff point from blue/white to purple. Purple light has little penetration so like Phillis blue vision halogen globes, they look bright, but don't penetrate.

      10.000K is an illegal globe.

        I can only adjust it via the control in the car, in-which work perfectly.

        10,000K won't go purple.
        Not good driving practice to keep one eye out the front and one out the back. When you get pulled over the third one kicks in!

        • 10,000K illegal. Ok.

          They are an aggressive blue. They don't look purple to me.

          • They won't initially, but when the bulbs settle in, they will start to get a purple haze around the outside of the beam instead of a yellowie blue.

            Not trying to rain on your parade or anything, but they are illegal to be retro fitted, hence the $1600 option form the factory on the gti and they are quite a bit more complex than just a bulb and ballast. Hopefully we might have been able to guide you down a better path re Mr Plod if and when he spots you

            On a side note, another reason I have recently found out regarding the auto levelers is that Xenon lights are actully quite UV intensive, in that they give off harmful UV lights. They use them for accelerated weathering simulations for UV stability in materials. Another reason why not to shine them into people's eyes with a reflector rather than projector lense!

                  • Do planned mods count? if not...

                    Today I have done the following to my polo:
                    Thought about the following:

                    Remsa brake pads, front and rear
                    TWR brake fluid change
                    Some form of rear anti-roll bar (I already miss the one off my golf )
                    Painting the wheels VW Pepper Grey metalic
                    Bluetooth module install

                    Crossed Chip tuning off my list for now

                    • Ooops, forgot to inlude thought about lowering springs, most likely H&R or for some flashyness, KW, only because they're yellow

                      Wow, my 1000th post too with that thought

                          • Do the springs match the stock shocks? Poorly matched suspension could make the ride worse for the bit of drop.

                            You could get KW's for a grand landed.

                            • FYI, the spotlights on my mates Monaro are 15,000K



                              Will get better pictures of my 10,000K soon.

                                Yeah, spoke the the H&R guys here and they said that they are matched to the stock dampers. Besides, the ride is pretty damn stiff anyway from the factory!
