I have a 2007 MK2 Leon FR with factory fit xenon headlights.
I'm very keen on my lighting and as such have been a little disappointed with the OEM Xenons in comparison to offerings from other manufacturers.
My research has lead me to understand that much of the relative drop in performance is due to the less than clear, textured glass Fresnel lenses that are fitted as standard.
I am interested in changing the standard Fresnel lense to a much clearer and higher performing one from a US company called 'The Retrofit Source'.
The only problem is that I can't find any information anywhere about what model of projector units are fitted to these lights, so don't know which size lenses to buy.
My gut feeling is that the projectors are basically the same as the VW Golf mkV - E46 projector which take the ZKW-R lenses.
I'd just rather not order the wrong thing - shipped from the US on the strength of a gut feeling.
I know a number of Golf enthusiasts have done this mod to good effect - ie - cleaner cut-off as well as a more even and slightly more intense output below the cut-off.
Has anyone on here swapped the lenses on their mk2 Leon?
If so which model lense is the correct fit.
Hopefully someone on here knows or has done the mod themselves.
Many thanks,
Tim.
