Headlights Osram or EAGLE EYES
Reviews
I swapped the stock halogens on my 2020 GTI for Osrams. I purchased them straight from a German parts site and they were shipped right to my door here in the US. I love the way the Osrams look
Pros: love the look
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
First time removing bodywork, and it was a little finicky, but it all came together (minus one tab). I had a set of trim removal tools that was super helpful. Otherwise just a couple Torx bits, no lift. Took 3h all in.
Pros: super helpful trim tools
Cons: finicky bodywork removal

I went all in with the Osrams from Germany. Doesn't have leveling lights, but definitely a huge upgrade from halogen and the quality is worth the price.
Pros: huge upgrade, good quality
Cons: no leveling lights
I had a 2014 ST1 and I got a pair of those Eagle Eye headlights from ebay for $300. Ran them for over 100K miles before I sold it. The LED's never burned out and the only water ingress issue I had was because I baked and separated the housing to black out the reflectors and screwed up the plastic so it didn't seal right again after that. I will say they got foggy after like 4-5 years but I just sanded and re-cleared them and they were good as new again
Pros: LED's never burned out
Cons: got foggy after years

I’ve got a pair on my mk6 tsi Just to answer you questions a bit quick:
1. Definitely, but you might need to swap the bulbs to LED as the ones I ordered came without. It gives a much better light than the original headlights.
Pros: better light than original
Cons: bulbs might need swapping

I've swapped headlights and retrofitted on every car i've owned, mostly to HID's but for this car I went with the OSRAM's from europe. Yes, it's a little more expensive, but the performance and easy install was worth it for me.
Pros: performance, easy install
Cons: a little more expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
These are hands down best upgrade for stock halogen headlights. Plug & play - no coding or pinning required.
Pros: best upgrade, plug & play
Part number: LEDHL-109-GTI-LHD
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!
Pros: made very well
Cons: didn’t compare to stock
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
They are the best of the aftermarket in my experience. That said they tend to fail with condensation after a year or so.
Pros: best aftermarket
Cons: condensation failure
Vehicle:

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).
Cons: disappointed in light output
