GTI headlights have 2 separate chambers. Those are standard non-GTI units.

What he said. Single chamber lights came on CLs, and other lower spec models.

I need to add "GTi without the insurance costs"...you would think 90bhp would make them cheap!!

(I talk from experience as a driver was my first mk3 and it was only about £60 less to insure than a gti!! b.t.w this was when mk3's were top $$$ and I couldn't afford to buy a gti!! A lot's changed in 10 years!  :laugh:)

Hence why the VR was aimed at a different market and not hot hatches.
