I just replaced both of my assemblies with Hella's from FCP. cost me about $260 for both housings and they came with all the bulbs. just make sure all of the bulbs are installed properly. one of my projector beams was not snapped in all the way so the cut-off didnt looks right. Just had to re-seat the bulb.
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.
Not sure about the taillights, but the OEM headlights are made by Hella. I would recommend you search for Hella brand headlights.
I bought two sets of aftermarket headlights to replace my halogen lights on my mk6 gti. 2nd pair were from “osram” and were much better than the spyders but still didn’t compare to stock as far as brightness goes. My advice, splurge on OEM replacement HID’s or keep them stock. If you are set on changing them I would highly recommend OSRAM. They are from Germany and made very well!
Last year I installed a new set of Osram LEDriving headlights in my '17 Golf SportWagen to replace the crappy stock halogen units. I ordered them from a vendor with Germany and they were not cheap ($1000) but totally worth it. The difference in light output is significant and they also look really sharp and modernize the front end of the car.
Osrams are pricey, but worth it.
I bought them almost a year ago they are doing great they are extremely pricey but I have gone through two other brands of headlights and both of them have failed. I finally ponied up the money and I have not regretted buying them they are amazing quality.
I like Hella because they have good output.
It's decent my dad has headlight for his f11 from them because the Hella are not available so it was planned to be temporary but it's pretty fine few manufacturing flaws but you need to look close to find them.
I have had my Osram headlights installed for over 3 weeks. I am very very disappointed in the light out put of these. I am going to say that the stock halogens where much brighter (lumen wise).
