Default Xenon headlamps worth the money??

I am close to squirreling away enough cash to order a new TT coupe and am debating on the premium package. I can do without the heated seats & homelink, so spending all the extra package price money on the xenon lights is the question. If I don't get the lights, I can put the extra cash into suspension or exhaust. Any advice? Can anyone post a picture of the TT halogen lights? Thanks!

Default Xenons are most definitely worth the money. The heated seats are great.

Many here have said or thought, including myself, that the heated seats were an after thought, but after driving around with a toasty seat I realized that the money spent for the premium package was well spent. Plus your wife/gf/so will love them.

Xenon's are on the short list of requirements for all future cars now. Get them.

Default Yes!, to the lights....

I never thought I would use the heated seats
living in a hot part of Texas, but it does get
into the 20's and 30's once in a while and
the seats are very nice then. Money well spent.

Xenons are probably the most worthwhile option

Default A contrarian view -- maybe

The xenons are great headlights. I am glad I got the premium package -- I wanted the heated seats, and the headlights are a fine addition. However, if money is tight, whether the premium package is worth it just for them depends on where you drive. If you are going to be primarily in urban/suburban areas with lots of street and ambient lighting, the benefits may not be worth the price.

even in urban areas, the hd lights are very worthwhile in bad weather conditions (esp. rain)
