If they are off a later car they may have round headlight plugs and although they will fit the car you won't be able to plug them in as yours will have rectangle connectors.

Hella sell adapters for this and some pop up on eBay sometimes.

As above, plugs are differnet, easy enough to sort.

Didn't think that far ahead pal ha ha
Mine are in excellent condition from an L(94) GTI so should be the same fittings as yours.

They are, GTI's are dual chamber.
