Title: Spot lights in a Mk3 grill
Post by: Mr.Tom on 05 May 2010, 18:55

What is peoples general opinion of the Mk3 grills with the two square spots in? I rather like them myself, but they turn up rather rarely. More lights the better I say ;)
I can't afford a set right now anyways, but what have people seen them go for? I have only ever seen one set on ebay, and that had a cracked lens. I missed the final price on it.
Cheers.

well i have that grill and i love it and all my mates do aswel, but everyone like diffrent things. just makes the car look diffrent, i think the prev owner put it on as theres a few stone chips and the old colour is showing through (red) but here goes nothing.

I think it looks nice and it's rare as well, so kind of adds value. Although, as far as I know, it's not easy to get the lights connected.

Saw one on eBay to go for around 50 quid few months ago.

I think a few of the CLs had them. Mine came with them (got the grill but not the lights), Joes did, some other bloke on the forum did with a 1.4CL and a few on Autotrader all 1.6 and 1.4s had them I've seen.

Rare as hell. There's a version with round spotlights too. Also rare as hell. Looks ok imo.

 :wink: they connect to your main BEAM lights (when you flash someone) thats only time they work. they take H1 bulbs and i think you have to take the rad off to change the bulbs unless im wrong  :undecided:

I meant you have to take the grill off to change the bulb.

You can't remove the radiator without removing the grill first anyway. To replace the radiator the grill/bumper/bumper support bar all need to come off
