Title: Any ideas on how much Hella Quads/Twins retail for?
Post by: Josho on 27 December 2008, 13:37
I went dow the scrappy to look for some MK3 bits, and I saw some Hella quads. They were geniune Hella and he said £50 for the pair. He didn't seem to think they were special at all. Just wondering whether it's worth it or not? Might get the money form my dad and then sell them. I want them but don't have the cash.  :sad:

He's never happy ;)

LOL!

There are two types of the Hella Twins, non smoked and smoked. Both almost exactly the same just the smoked ones have smoked lenses and also the sidelights have like a crosshair type thing going on, looks cool mind you. :)

Condition with these is paramount.The adjusters are the weakest part and often crack.TYC copies look the part but are of inferior quality although they can still be bought new.

Tbh I think standard headlights look best on the Mk3

I'll probably end up getting bored with them, then I'll sell them and immediately want some more. I'm quite easily bored. But for £37 you can't go wrong.

I first bought Mk4 style hated them. Then bought Morrette twins and they just looked odd. Standard lights look nice if the car is set up correctly.

Type of alloys you have, how your suspension is set up, how wide your wheels are etc. Whether you have fog lights, Kamei air ducts etc.

I guess part of the joy about doing cars up is trying different things out. Can always change it

That's the best part of car ownership, I don't want car to look like every other mk3,gti out there.
