    Hey everyone, Ok, well, I sold my mk4 last night, and this morning I paid for my mk5 Black 1.9 TDi, and im taking delivery on Thursday mid-day :D anyway, back to the point, at the moment it has standard bulbs in the headlights, Im wondering whats the brightest road legal headlights I can get? so its just purely a switch of bulb? Thanks, Bud.

    Thanks you two, really appreciate it. Ive not seen the mk5 lights at night yet, but Ive always wanted much brighter headlights :) Did you just get the phillips ones off ebay or is there a forum sponsor that sells them?

    Thanks millions pal!! Quick last and final question, should I change all 3 of the bulbs? would I benefit from changing them all or would I mainly just benefit from the normal night driving lights?
