Hey Guys
I have a GTI that originally came with VW Halogen Headlights (http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_golf_mk5_halogen_headlight_black_gti.jpg)
I proceeded to purchase a HID kit and such purchased after market Hella Projector housings that came with H7 Bulbs (here: http://www.ecstuning.com/ES6476/Notify/)
Now, I was recently involved in a minor accident and the repairer's have attempted to re-order these from VW; however, VW say they do not exist - they only have the halogen housings and the full Bi-Xenon housings with the Ballasts that they can provide. My car is not wired for Factory Xenon so I assume that these houseings will not work? Could they install these and then I simply take out the factory bulbs and put in mine again? (Are the holders the same as in the Halogen Headlights?)
Does anyone have a picture of the inside of a Original VW Bi-Xenon? Or can this be retrofitted into a non Xenon GTI?
Can anyone provide me with infomation on what I could do? I cannot re-order the Hella ones as the replacements (due to insurance) have to come from VW...
Cheers!
Remi
