My used MK5 VW Jetta gets OEM Bi-Xenon headlamps on its 2nd anniversary

I have clocked 45,000 on it km and mechanically the car is doing just fine at the moment.

BHPian Varun_HexaGuy recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

She's performing flawlessly while munching miles at a relatively slower pace now.

Completed 2 years of ownership recently on the 27th of June and clocked 45,000 kms in the time that Natasha's been with me (would've been more if I hadn't gotten the 5-series). Did a roadtrip from Hyd-BLR-Goa-Hyd in the month of March. With five onboard, luggage for all of us, she could accommodate it all. And she performed flawlessly all through the trip.

Since I wanted to spruce up the car for the 2nd anniversary, I finally decided to bite the bullet and get the OE Bi-Xenons for the Jetta to complete the final piece of the puzzle.

Mechanically, there's nothing really that the car needs attention at the moment. She drives tight. Got a new set of tyres (MRF Perfinzas) around March just before my road trip. Got the service also done around the same time. Next service is due this month. Only component that hasn't been changed otherwise is the steering rack. Might have to end up doing that up in 20-30k kms from now (showing a few signs of wear, but not too obvious).

Signing off with some pics for your viewing pleasure.

2-years up!

Parked at work. 

On a ferry en-route Dewar Island, Goa.

And finally, the OE Bi-Xenons which I've been waiting for for ages are finally here. Should go on the car once the ancillaries come in.
