The bulbs in that link aren't H7's. The Vagparts kit for the golf uses H7's. Look on http://www.vagparts.co.uk/ to see H7 bulbs.

ive just re read my post and ive got it mixed up, what i meant was, i know my bulbs are h7 based but i was wondering whether there was 2 different versions for reflector headlamps and projectors.
By the look of it there is only 1 h7 version.
Thanks anyway

H7 is the correct fitment for the Mk4 Golf - but I think the bulb type is trying to be distinguished here.
130tdi - I believe you are correct - the bulbs provided with the kit are D2S which don't have the optical shielding in front of them - look close to the bulb and see if it has a black or dark grey bar running down it vertically. I was also worried about this as D2S are traditionally used for projector based lamps which have their own shielding, but the kit works great and providing you adjust the manual s elector to the necessary level you can get away with it. Also, you have to take into account that the bulbs once fitted have a cap that is fitted over them - check out your OEM halogen bulbs and you will spot the silver "hat" that sits over bulbs. This, I'm sure acts as the shielding to avoid excessive glare.

Im going to email vagparts to see if they can get a bulb with optical shielding
Have you looked at the bulbs on the vagparts site? They have a sheild at the top of the bulb is that what you mean?
Edit: I'd post the pic up but you can't link to the pic on the vagparts site.

If you look at the above link there is two different types of hid bulb the d2r one has a shield inside to reduce glare when used in a reflector headlamp and the d2s doesnt.
Now i thought that even though the bulbs are a h7 base they would still have the optical shield inside them

Have a look here,

They have covered the top of the bulb to look like a normal h7
