Reviews of Hella headlights

Basically I started with a brand new set of MK5-look Hella lamps, and cut them up to fit actual D2S factory MK5 Bi-Xenon projectors in them, and wired it all with theretrofitsource.com bulbs and ballasts. These are as nice as can be, and really have tremendous and clean light output.

So, I built these headlights a couple years ago for my R32. Basically I started with a brand new set of MK5-look Hella lamps, and cut them up to fit actual D2S factory MK5 Bi-Xenon projectors in them, and wired it all with theretrofitsource.com bulbs and ballasts. These are as nice as can be, and really have tremendous and clean light output.

Some 30 year old Hella Smileys for my 448k mile car really seemed to clean things up.

I purchased theses lights... between damaged in shipping and dry-rot the plastic mounting brackets shattered. seller refunded my money and life goes on.

I can vouch for the quality of these lights, they and a huge u[grade from the stock setup: they have a nice output and cutoff.

Hella is just going to be better quality than those no-name brands.

Mine came with a nice set of IPF e-codes. I want to replace them with some Hellas to add the city light.

The only major difference appears to be the manufacturer of the sets. The ECS ones are made by Hella and the Parts4Euro ones are made by Depo. Go with the Hella.

Hey, I just bought a set of Hella Quad Headlights for my MK3.

A better alternative is to replace the headlights with a [conversion kit to modern H4 bulbs and reflectors](http://www.amazon.com/Hella-Halogen-Replacement-Headlight-Standard/dp/B000FKIURK). They look stock but give much better light output and require much, much less work than installing projectors.
