Headlights Hella or Depo
As GTI's indicated (and he must have known I'd jump in ), that beam pattern is perfectly normal for OEM Mk5 halogen reflector headlights.
Amazon is where I ended up buying. Depo brand. They've been great.
Just installed depo from eBay. Fitment and quality are great.
Not sure about the taillights, but the OEM headlights are made by Hella. I would recommend you search for Hella brand headlights.
I went with depo there great quality never had issues with mine .
Otherwise lookup DEPO brand, they’re pretty decent and not $1,400 each like the oem HR headlights.
The DEPO headlights will be a really good upgrade over the 03-05 headlights.
I have DEPO headlights. They look pretty much OE, but I won't necessarily recommend them. The fitting of the bulbs is cheap and not so reliable. Plus, if high beam goes out, you need to get the bumper out.
Those are Depo headlights, so not OEM. The angel eyes on them are made up of a few individual bulbs in each ring, not sure if they're easy to remove/replace though.
I tried some Depo/Helix halogen projector headlights for my wife's 2.5 Jetta some years ago. The optics were terrible.
