Post by: stainesy on 21 May 2011, 15:52

Different plugs but can be swapped very easily.

Plugs may be the same, some are square some are round it depends on the year of the car. You can usually tell by the shape of your side repeaters.

Best bet is to check the shape of your plug and make sure you buy a set of single chamber lights with the same shape plug, no need to mess around getting different plugs if there is no need.

As Dom said, you can get both types of plugs on single chamber headlamps.

That's a much better way of saying what I was trying to say :grin:

When i changed from the single chamber to the gti dual's, i just swapped straight over using same power connector.

Hope this helps  :smiley:
