Headlights Hella or Morimoto

You could get aftermarket headlights that look similar to the factory ones. Morimoto makes one called the XB.

I scored a set of NOS Hella headlights and sold my crosshairs which I found out were aftermarket. The beam pattern is much better already, I ordered a set of Daniel Stern's H4 bulbs so I'll actually be able to see at night now.

OEM Volkswagen halogen headlights are your best bet -- at least these days. The ones VW actually equipped their Mk5's with from the factory have a VW logo on the shield in front of the low-beam bulb: He indicated there were several manufacturers that made those for VW as an OEM product. I'm most familiar with Hella, one of those brands, which of course is a world-class brand. Hella has also offered headlights on the aftermarket, that are identical to the ones they manufactured for VW, and tend to be somewaht cheaper. The only subtle difference is that those have a crosshatch pattern in the shield instead of the VW logo:

Much more than that, I went to aftermarket to morimoto brand. I got the hybrid xb, they are sick

I can also confirm the Hella headlights are the same quality as oe

I went with morimotos cause one of my lenses cracked. The day running light and sequential are great and change up the car.

I had a cracked headlight so I ended up just grabbing morimotos XB’s looks absolutely phenomenal.

I replaced my OEM Nismo head/taillights for the Morimotos and I’m so glad I did. Absolutely in love with them, and still the favorite thing I’ve done to my Z

All that money for a downgrade in performance. They do look better though.

DO NOT BUY. This company knows its product. These headlights started flaking 4 months after the 2-year warranty expired. I expected more from a product with a premium price point. I’ve gotten better life out of $100 headlights. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your money on these.
