   I'm planning to change my stock headlights with angel eyes. Are they quality? Are they made of plastic or glass? I mean on the front part of angel eyes not inside of them...

   Are they fogging inside? Does xsenon lights light clean throw them or they are changing color, something like green or? I ask because my friend has on his golf plastic lights and xsenon has never light white/blue throw them, always green or something like that.

   And I wouldn't put LEDs inside of those circles, I just want to buy them because of eyeglass to put in them xsenon to light clean/clear in one point, not like in stock headlights on north, south, west and east

   I've an MK2 set. I wouldn't know how practical they are for road use as i haven't fitted them yet but i think for looks they are alot better than standard. The outside is just made of plastic, doesn't seem like it's much of a good quality either.
