Headlights Hella or Osram

First time removing bodywork, and it was a little finicky, but it all came together (minus one tab). I had a set of trim removal tools that was super helpful. Otherwise just a couple Torx bits, no lift. Took 3h all in.

Might be an unpopular opinion but get a pair of Hella Vision Plus (1A6002395) H4 headlights, ceramic H4 connectors and 100/90w H4 bulbs. Night and day difference without messing with the beautiful classic look.

I have bought two used headlights from ebay before and had no issues. Just make sure the part number is the same as what your car has and that the label has "hella" specified.

hella 7” lamps that take a modern LED bulb for this exact reason, looks oem but headlights actually work

I went all in with the Osrams from Germany. Doesn't have leveling lights, but definitely a huge upgrade from halogen and the quality is worth the price.

Hella H4 e-code conversion beam, full stop. Can run whatever H4 bulb you want, including LED retrofits if you want (don’t cheap out, I recommend Morimoto) but I find a good quality halogen bulb like Osram Nightbreaker Lasers are as good as if not better than most LED retrofits without requiring a harness upgrade.

I’ve got a pair on my mk6 tsi Just to answer you questions a bit quick:

1. Definitely, but you might need to swap the bulbs to LED as the ones I ordered came without. It gives a much better light than the original headlights.

I've swapped headlights and retrofitted on every car i've owned, mostly to HID's but for this car I went with the OSRAM's from europe. Yes, it's a little more expensive, but the performance and easy install was worth it for me.

LED headlights that replace the rectangular sealed beams can probably be aimed. That's the only good things about them. They won't provide any more light than sealed beams if they are road legal.

I bought new hella lamps and mounted them nearly half year ago. Any ideas why they are getting so steamy ? any fix? Im so dissapointed, this shit is pretty expensive
