Hello from a newbie
I picked up a new BlueGT about two weeks ago and loving it so far.
Unfortunately my car doesn't have the xenon and LED running lights option so I have purchased some new builds but having read the posts on here fitting them does not seem to be case of plug and play

As I understand it, to fit Xenons retrospectively and legally is an awful lot of work. You need automatic leveling and washers etc.
I regret not speccing mine up with them included. Going for super white bulbs might be the best back up option.

Cheers for your reply, When I said I had purchased new bulbs I was referring to just that and not fitting a retrospective xenon kit. However just getting access to fit the bulbs looks a challenge in itself?

On the new Polo's you remove the headlight to change the bulbs. Which is actually very easy.
A little guide here:
- - Remove the plug on the back og the headlight.
- - Remove the two screws (2) (NOT the one market 1)
- Pull the headlight straight out

Cheers will give it a go tomorrow.
I did read a post where someone recommend putting masking tape along the top of the bumper before removing them to stop scratching?

The key is to prep the plastic properly before painting...
But any painter should know about that.

I think it's an excellent choice in color hue.
Perfect.
