I am not really a fan of aftermarket accessories, however, I actually like the way those headlights look, especially in reality since they don't look cheap as some I've seen on eBay do.

It contains a projector lens (dipped beam), high beam, ring, and LED, and the price is not bad at all.

There are also these tail lights:

I think the tail lights would go really well with the head lights, however I can only afford one of them at the moment and I'm thinking of going for the head lights since, well, I'm having a problem with my current stock headlights and I don't know what to do about it, you can read about the problem here if you'd like.

What do you guys think? My Leon is a 2012 silver metallic with tinted windows.

I think the OEM LED Rear lights would look best on a 2012 FL Leon compared to those rear lights but as for the front lights they are a nice option in my opinion especially cost wise too

They're most definitely awesome, although not available in Egypt.

As I said, though, if I decide to buy something it'll be the headlights till I have enough money to buy tail lights, and if the 2012 FR's tail lights are available by then, that'd be awesome.

Thanks for the comment, by the way.

I also really want the exhaust tips of the FR. Do you know if that's just a tip or is it a muffler? Mine isn't silver like that and it's only one tip, not two next to each other.

ive been looking at those same headlights for a while, i really like the idea of projector style lighting on my car, these with a good set of hids would be very nice imo, i also like the rears lights as well, they would suit my candy white cupra perfectly, plus adding to the black and white theme etc.

If these headlights are available for normal bulb ones, not zenon or HIDS, then i would definitely be interested. I think they look smart. Im sure there would be wiring involved or something tricky for those LED's, nothing is ever easy. :(

You would have to buy an fr exhaust, its not just a tip that fits on :)

Ah okay.. well it's not worth it then. :D

Yeah. I actually wanted the candy white color at first but I live in a country that's too dirty and keeping it clean would be nearly impossible. I'm a huge fan of white and I might go for white matte, if that's what it's called, the next time I buy a car. Perhaps the Mk3 Leon? :D

any pictures of these fitted to a Leon and on?

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any pictures of them fitted on a Leon. The only picture I found was with LEDs turned on in both of them but not fitted on anything, just laying above a box.

Where are those front light units from?

I'm not sure, but they're either made in Thailand or Taiwan; don't remember exactly. I'm only getting them for my sake, though, because when I sell the car I'll just refit the original headlights and sell the aftermarket ones. I know a guy who modifies headlights and installs projector lights, rings, and anything you want but I wouldn't want to mess with the original headlights, to be honest with you.

I'm not exactly sure but I do know that at least the high beam uses SEAT's normal bulbs whereas the projector lenses come with bulbs pre-installed, however not sure if it'll require a ballast or not.

I saw these a while back too but was put off because they are configured for left hand drive and you have to set them up right and also i think there is some wiring to be done

Heres a link to the same ones i think

Yeah! Those are the headlights, thanks for the video. The guy who got them is a friend of mine who owns a store that sells imported car accessories and such. He told me that they're specifically made for Seat Leon and they're canbus-compatible, or something like that, in which they won't give any errors. He also told me there won't be any messing around with the wires and it'll be just like plug and play. I asked him how the LEDs will be operated, and he said by the normal headlights' cable. I'm not sure how he'll go about doing that, but if it'll require any soldering or rewiring, then I'll definitely stay away from them. If I've learned anything from owning a SEAT or driving my Dad's BMW occasionally, Germans don't really like "tuning" or "aftermarket" work on their cars. lol

They do look sweet though...

I agree with you. And I'd much rather buy these headlights than have the original ones modified. Wouldn't you say so, too?

By the way, the price of the headlights is 334 after he gave me a discount. That's sort of high, right?

Those lights are made by Dectane a German company. You can get a different style to the ones you have posted, which i believe look better, so i have them on my car and payed 189 pounds, and the lights you have posted were about the same price. So 334 pound is so over the top

Are these headlights plug and play?
Or must you start cutting/modifying wire connections?

Let me know as i love projector headlights although oem cost to much =[
So therefore these would be the cheaper option ^^

To be perfectly honest with you, I am not sure if they are although that's what I've been told by the seller as well. He said that there will be no rewiring or any sort of "playing" in the wires, it'll just be like removing the OEM headlights and reinstalling them, as simple as that.

I really like the headlights, but mainly for the projector lenses and not the LEDs as I am not a huge fan of them. That's largely due to the fact that I'm used to seeing them on Benzes and Audis only, at least where I live, that I feel like people with other cars are just trying too hard to copy them. That may not be the case anymore, though, since the new Leon is full LEDs. :D

These lights are plug and play, same as the rear lights. Ive got them both. Only one thing with the front lights is if you want the Led to come on when you start the car up like with the audi cars then you have to vag com to set it up or like me just put them on when you feel like it by turning your side lights on
