Hi guys,
i am going to order some mk4 style headlamps from Venom, these ones :

But which indicators do you think would look best?

2: http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=2583&manufacturer=Venom&category=Lighting
3: http://www.venommotorsport.com/product_details.php?id=2584&manufacturer=Venom&category=Lighting
any one have these?
any other choices welcomed.... :)

whilst were at it i want some good bulbs, what do you guys think are the best?
and is the wiring mod worth while?

I would go for the smoked indicator inserts however dont the mk4 headlights have the indicators in the headlights so you could wire them up to work and simply tint spray your original covers just an idea. Not sure on bulbs as i run a HID kit atm but there are some ultra bright bulbs you can buy from most places which im sure more people will be along for ideas. HID kits are going to be illegal next year for MOT'S so i will be on the look out for bright bulbs aswell :angry:

HID kits will be illegal on non standard fit HID cars? Wtf? HID give better visibility so why make them illegal?? That's just F'in barmy
-
These ones have a side light where the mk4 indicator usually is, i like the indicators down the bottom.
would the smoked indicators still look good with the clear headlights??

Think the main reason is that Factory fit HIDs require auto levelling and washers, this is to stop the super bright HIDs blinding oncomming cars.
seems silly but i can see why they are doing it.
i was under the impression that if you fit self levelling and washers they would still be legal, all be it at great cost i am sure.

Tell me about it :cry: i suspect there will be a company which will get some kind of license to make them legal as it would be a major business out of business i don't think its possible myself. Dubmeister springs to mind they love making things legal again :smiley:

Yeah they would look fine i think :wink: have a browse through some mk3 pictures on the mk3 section theres a sticky at the top with mk3 pics im sure there will be loads of examples in there :smiley:

if you could that would be very cool

In my personal opinion i would go with the first set of sidelights/indicatiors.

If you use any of these run some sealant around the edges as they tend to let water in.

What Wanye said, one of my indicators lets water in :angry:

Osram nightbreakers are a good shout.
I currently use Phillips X-treme Vision +100%. Put it this way, I had a HID kit before, and I don't miss it
