Headlights Osram or OEM Volvo

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.

Buy a used headlight using the part number that you can find on the headlight (under the bonnet, remove plastic cover that sits above the headlight). In Europe you can get full LED adaptive headlights for 300-350 EUR used. No programming necessary after installation.

These are hands down best upgrade for stock halogen headlights. Plug & play - no coding or pinning required.

I bought two sets of aftermarket headlights to replace my halogen lights on my mk6 gti. 2nd pair were from “osram” and were much better than the spyders but still didn’t compare to stock as far as brightness goes. My advice, splurge on OEM replacement HID’s or keep them stock. If you are set on changing them I would highly recommend OSRAM. They are from Germany and made very well!

Last year I installed a new set of Osram LEDriving headlights in my '17 Golf SportWagen to replace the crappy stock halogen units. I ordered them from a vendor with Germany and they were not cheap ($1000) but totally worth it. The difference in light output is significant and they also look really sharp and modernize the front end of the car.

Osrams are pricey, but worth it.

This guy is laughing at the end of the day, your fancy active bending Thors Hammer lights are easily $2,500 each when they break.

Volvo S40 Headlights are not bright - I have recently changed them and its still not much better.

I have had my Osram headlights installed for over 3 weeks. I am very very disappointed in the light out put of these. I am going to say that the stock halogens where much brighter (lumen wise).
