Looking to replace my GTi headlights and have found some in Oz that are reasonably priced but the Trade-me ad says R32 only. The vendor can?t give me any more info so thought I would ask here before purchasing.

Do you already have xenon lights? If not they wont work. If yes it should be plug & play

Likely because all R32 had xenon but gti didn't so is guaranteed will fit all r32

NZ new Mk5 R32?s had Xenon?s standard, NZ new Mk5?s they were an option that very few people opted for. Japanese import Mk5 GTI?s had xenon?s standard but had no steering wheel controls.

Thanks,

Mine is a Jap import.

Did not know about the steering wheel controls on Japanese cars, had always assumed it was an option  :)

Be keen to hear feedback.

Insurance will be replacing L/H unit following recent mishap. Given the coloration of the lenses of the current pair, there will be an imbalance.

I bought some headlights for one of my diesel golfs from Australia, they're aftermarket ones. and a cheap knock off at that. they look good, they plug in and work but lack quality. Genuine is always best. Genuine are very expensive though. I think it was ozzieparts was the name of the outfit.

Sorry for the late reply, they fit just fine and look good. I'd post a pic if I knew how!
