Hi! I tried several variants of headlights and stopped on Hella. It's used, but enlightens the way much better than new Autopal, Neolite and all this...
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 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.
i constantly have other drivers flash me while i drive at night. i do believe these headlights produce a lot of glare.
i have hella gli headlights i bought them 6 months ago but having a terrible time with beam pattern any ideas (beam is distorted)
