Not too sure where the earthing points are on a gti, have a look at your headlights though dude, there will be an earth there somewhere, more than likely bolted underneath your cross member.

But yes they will just about fit dependant on what tyres your going to run and how low you are.

If the bulbs are original, its possible the bulb is almost at the end of its life which can cause ignition failure on HID bulbs.
