Not having the funds for Xenon lights I installed
Philips Blue Vision bulbs in my '99 TT. These produce
light more reminiscant of daylight (4000 Kelvin, with
a slightly blueish glow) and are brighter than regular
headlights.

I'm quite content with them. They are definitely much
brighter than my old headlights and the color is
more pleasant to look at (less straining after a long
trip in the dark). Replacing them costed me 75 Euros
total and I think that's definitely worth it. Just
thought I'd share my findings with you guys.

Cheers!

Check ebay first

43.00 euros for them, there H7's the most expensive, you may have H1's which
are even cheaper

Yeah.. I know.. they're actually cheaper in the store, but you need
both H7's and H1's (the big lights and the regular ones) so added
up that makes around Eur. 75

But thanks for the hint anyway

I recently replaced mine as well, but with the Sylvania Silverstars (H7).
Big difference - I'm very happy with them...
