I have helix headlights with drop in HID,s. I have had them for little over 2 years now and I really like them. Like Dion said though you need to be careful in adjusting them as the plastic inner piece will break, mine did so I took it apart and fixed it. I have adjusted them a few times since then with no problems, I was just more careful. The beam out put is very nice. Once I got them aimed correctly I never get flashed by on coming cars and I see the whole road a lot better.

Pros: nice beam output, see road better
Cons: plastic inner piece will break

I bought a set for the B4 Passat I traded in earlier this year, and reviewed them in that thread starting on 22 April; they weren't bad -- far better than the stock NA headlights.

Pros: better than stock NA headlights
Cons: not genuine all-German made

I've got the Helix OEM reps on my car. My only gripe with them is that I maxed out the driver side height adjustment and once it stopped moving I didn't try to adjust it more...that's how the adjusters break. Light output is better them OEM...I find any ecode pattern is better then the DOT blob.

Pros: better light output
Cons: adjusters break easily

The Helix/Depo Headlights from urotuning.com were very ascetically pleasing; identical to OEM R32 headlights from afar. The HID kit went in perfectly and were completely installed from start to finish in under an hour. Unfortunately, there was good and bad to the headlights themselves. On both headlights, the cutoff is great, the highbeams are great and they look beautiful installed. The passenger side needed very little adjustment. The driver side needed some slight adjustment to level out; however, a hotspot was extremely present and unadjustable. The hotspot currently points into the opposing lane causing my visibility to be diminished.

Pros: ascetically pleasing, great cutoff
Cons: hotspot unadjustable
