Looking at getting some crosshair headlights for my mk2 gti. I have seen quite a few that are left hand drive fitment but they all state that they can be switched to right hand drive by adjusting them.
New to the mk2s as I have worked my way down from the mk4 to mk3 and now mk2 :grin: so any help would be appreciated. Also how much do a good set of these cost?
-
£50 or there abouts, and as for easily swapping them over? Are they balls, those clips are pretty much impossible to get out!
-
Thanks very much for that, saved me a lot of hassle by the sounds of it, best get looking for a rh set then.
-
Not sure if Big boys toys sell rhd ones, if they do they will be a little more than £50 as apparently it takes £10-£20 worth of effort to put the clips in the other way round in the factory :rolleyes:

Get a set of genuine Hella lights from GSF for £30.00 each and use some sticky backed plastic trim tape to make 'em cross hairs.... at least the hella ones will add value rather than ruin the car!! :grin: :grin: :grin: :laugh: :laugh:

from memory got my cross hair lights from ebay for about £40

i do have a set back at my Dad's place in Wales, if you are still struggling in 2 weeks time and are interested PM me, they are useable abit tatty where the bulbs come through the reflector but can be sorted im sure. you can have them if they are still there, just pay the postage is all i ask! :smiley:

Ha :grin:
I'd be very cautious of aftermarket & pattern headlamps. I.E. Hella lamps (OE) have a great light pattern. However from personal experience, the Lucas ones have a very poor beam pattern, and the alloy bulb seat snaps off where the spring clip locates, rendering them useless!
Stick to genuine, and with an uprated headlamp loom you'll be laughing :smiley:
