Hi mcrews

No it did not. It's only the lupo gti that comes with HIDs

As I says earlier in the thread

I could do something about the headlight They use about 130w I think ( they are 110w total) and xenon headlight is about 70w total if I'm not mistaken. The only problem is the headlight have to come I off a used lupo gti that is rare and if I install them I have to make headlight washers and mount a gyro on the rear wheel bridge that will outo level the light for it to be street legal. And the total cost in materials is close to 1700 $ for used headlight

If you wanna install after market xenon you need to make sure the headlight case is xenon E approved and you still need the headlight washers and auto level sensor
It will be a 180$ fine if you get stopped by the Danish police
I got a 4300k HID kit from the retrofit source and it seemed like really high quality.
And before installing the kit I will polish the headlight with a 3m polish kit so the headlight glass should be as new.
The car has been lowered and I will set the Manuel headlight level that should help with oncoming traffic.
And I will thoroughly test the lights before hitting the road.
I have no intentions of having a product on my car that blinds ongoing traffic so if that's the case I will simply take it off again.
