shipped fast! installed fast! dont feel cheap like friends headlihgts I helped install.

For awhile I was disappointed that I didn't get a lighting package car, until I got these headlights. BOTH rings in each headlight light up, and the black housing and stripe let me black out my grill stripe. Couldn't be happier

These seemed like quality aftermarket headlights (and they probably function well). But there is a noticeable 2 cm gap on the driver's side headlight between the assembly and the grill as well as the hood (1 cm), while the passenger side fits just fine. My GTI has never been in an accident and the headlights were installed at a local shop by professionals. If they hadn't said anything to me about it, I might never had noticed... so I might be a little OCD about it, but still concerning.

Makes the GTI look a bit more aggressive the factory tint looks good.

Bought a set of these in 2015, they fit perfectly, no coding was necessary to use halogen H7 bulbs. Have not tampered with rewiring for the xenon setup. I wanted to wait a year to review, but time flew by, and now at the two-year mark, there are some qualms I have with this product.

Initially, when they had been installed - the occasionally fogging would occur. I went back to the dealership who had put them on the vehicle and paid another $250 because I assumed they were at fault for the fogging on the inside of the headlights. This, unfortunately, did not fix the issue and it had persisted whenever it would be highly humid outside. I imagine inadequate seals around the enclosure. (I got over it and eventually, it stopped doing it).

Now I have noticed that both headlights - like clockwork - began peeling! There is a slight and generally unnoticeable film over the plastic which over time has peeling more and more. Unfortunately, the headlights look like S#@! now and I will have to drop yet another $500+ to go through replacing them again.

Overall the performance is excellent, the LED double U's are very similar to the OEM version and they have more or less held up rather well. Light output is beautiful, and they looked sharp for the first year or so. Now as the film peels off of them more and more each day they are starting to look cheap and like total knock-offs.

Kind of wish I knew this before buying them because at this point I could have just purchased the OEM versions and called it a day. Buyer beware I guess.
