Let's just agree to disagree. I don't know why these headlights are bothering all the OEM xenon purists so much. I like the way they look. They are plug and play and will provide better lighting than my OEM halogens. That's all I need. Thanks.

im not bothered by these
i like these lol
our OEM's arent that good when compared to some other company light outputs. both halogen and xenon. but the build quality is extremely well.
but i do know for a fact that when people claim(steven has claimed these will be like OEM quality) this quality will be OEM quality, it wont.
even if OSRAM makes these, it's not going to be OEM quality.
there are $2000 tail lights sold for honda s2000's that are badass and very high in quality but not OEM quality.
-edit
also if i wasnt going to get a different car to modify, i probably would have gotten a set of these for the golf.

Technically your turbo is oem 
lol. But, seriously though I wasn't trying to argue or anything. I don't care whether anyone goes oem or aftermarket. These lights look great and it's a design no one will have since they are new. The only point I was trying to prove is that you can get oem xenons for about the same price now a days since demand for mk6 parts has went down due to the mk7. For me personally, I can't justify spending as much if not more money on aftermarket lights when for the same money I can go oem and have a solid headlight that won't cut out when you hit bumps and all the other problems most aftermarket headlights have. I am willing to accept I am wrong, maybe these are the best quality lights ever that are better than oem. I am just here sharing my opinion as everyone else is. You said no way oem costs the same as these lights unless it fell off a truck and I wanted to show you that they do cost as much as these lights. That is all.

Lol how is my turbo OEM? Tell me how you came to that conclusion? Also, your point really hasn't been made. You can't get all the OEM parts new for the price of the Osram headlights. Yes, you can cobble together some used parts and cut some corners, but that's not how I like to do things. On top of that. The OEM xenons aren't even that good as far as being actual headlights. That is my point. Just because they are xenon doesn't mean they are good headlights. There's articles on how OEM headlights actually suck. Maybe these will suck too, but maybe they won't. They'll perform as good or better than my stock halogens and look way better than them too. That's all I care about.

Well the k04 is a turbo that comes oem on s3's golf R's and Ed 35 gti's lol. I didn't say your is oem I just said technically it's considered an "oem turbo upgrade" by most companies because they get an oem k04 turbo and machine it to fit the tsi. There are companies out there like I think hpa that make their own k04 or something a long those lines not to clear on that but again I said technically it is. Anyway, I am not trying to argue with you man I was just saying that yes you can put together a set of oem lights. Yes they'll be used and not brand new and the condition you get them in as well as how much you spend on them really just depends on how long you can wait to find the best deals possible. if you wait for the right set of lights you will have housing ready for a xenon swap for under 900 at the very least if not cheaper. But yes I do agree they will look and perform better than halogens and odds have it they will be great lights.
