They're so good, everyone keeps them. You'd need to have more money than sense to want to change the main xenon bulb. What would you want to change them to?
People often change the small sidelight bulb though, to white leds.

Saj changed his OEM headlights on his red GTi project to the FK "angel eye" crystal units but retro-fitted his original xenons into them to have the best of both worlds. So he ended up with xenon dipped bulbs but angel eye sidelights. I gather it was very complex!
99% of owners do nothing to change the xenon parts but do change the sidelight and/or high-beam bulbs for higher-quality or different colour items.
Cheers

the xenons are so good, i ended up buying a set and fitting onto my non-gti
best thing to do is replace the sidelight bulbs with white LED's but its a bumper off job.
