B5 Headlight upgrade

Fitting is a 10 minute job.

Make sure you get a kit that includes a relayed harness, so that the ballasts can draw directly from the battery (most kits include them).

Cheers Ini, I will have a look for a kit, I have noticed different Kelvin rated kits, Is it best to go for the higher rated kit for the ultimate upgrade or is there a risk with headlamp construction materials? Ie Plastic lights melting etc?

Cheers fior the help.

Sorry to hi-jack but I'm thinking of fitting 6000k Xenons to mine. The more the Kelvin the bluer the light becomes, anything over 8000k becomes a bit silly. From stock, cars are usually fitted with 6000k or 8000k HID kits.

Cheers Paul, i have seen 8000K kits retailing at around £95.

As i am new on here, do any of the sponsors do these kits?

I think there are sponsors on here who might do you a deal. Maybe drop one of the moderators, RickT, mk5golfgttdi, mycarsavw, onzarob, stuart (sorry If I've missed anybody out

) a line, I'm sure they'll put you in touch with somebody.
