no your not being tight, I don't want to pay £160 either, I only paid £65 for my other ones on my Fto, granted they didn't have anti error device (probably a few resistors) and didn't have the soft start, but an extra £100 is alot! There must be another company out there that does some that work! Let's all email arround! And get googling! Or contact hid4u and ask them if they will do a group buy! Someone paid £125 for them on here, so we know they can lower the price!

Worth a try!

A few pics taken tonight with the Hids4U Ultimate H7 Anti-Glare Bulbs

The camera loses the direct beam pattern

A close up of how the anti-glare bulbs work reflecting only in the top half of the lense allowing a more direct beam pattern and no glare to other cars

Shows a clear improvement to the bulb test I did a few weeks back http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=187933&highlight=bulb+test

Overall huge improvement of the stock bulbs, just love them down the dark country lanes. Well worth the money i think

The only thing is.... I cant see how they will be brighter if half the bulb is covered... unless it has a reflective strip on and it pushes even more light back upwards?
What do you think??

You still get the same sort of output but it is a more focused light from the lense rather than spread over the lense

Just my luck - I gave my £40 HID kit to a mechanic who looks after me. :cry: This would have been worth a try before spending over three times that. Saying that, Im over the moon with the HIDs4u kit :funk:

I understand the HID4U kit is a good kit, but I've had a set of HID's from Hong Kong before, and the quality was awsome, I was really happy with them, had them on the FTO for 2 years, and no bulbs went or anything.... so I may go for this option... and report back...

What connection do I need to be going for?

I have Emailed the seller, so i'll wait for his/her response before I buy anything!

yes H7 for dipped beam


Are these the golf mk 5 lights? Are the seat lights same as the golf mk5??

I've just had this reply from an Ebay shop/seller!

Hi Jordan, this kit works 100% without OBC errors in Golf mk5, we also supply the exact holders and everything you need for a direct fit. We also have this available in MTEC who also do a kit the only difference is the mtec golf mk5 bulbs are built into the bulb whereas the ultra kit they come seperated, the MTEC kit is much better quality than the hids4u kit and alot cheaper.! Thanks Martin
