Title: Projector headlights
Post by: Rico_GTi on 01 May 2012, 20:40
Evening alll,

Had my eye on a set of these about a year ago but as always other things pushed in-front and I forgot about them. Just searched ebay for them and only found 1 result; R32 Style projector headlights (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-IV-98-04-R32-Style-Chrome-Projector-Head-Lights-/200751558322?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ebdb9aeb2)
Nearly fell off my chair when I saw the price and location lol! These used to be available to order from Germany for around 125 quid, I know a few members on here have had these or the black ones. Just wondering if anyone has any links to them or info on why they seem to have vanished?!

Cheers in advance guys  :smiley:

p.s. I'm looking for the non angel-eye type

Just out of interest has anyone running these had any problems with steaming up/misting?
Think I remember somebody re-sealing theirs before fitting to avoid this, not sure if it was these ones or not, its been ages since I last looked into getting some.

i've got the chrome ones, wanted to achieve as close as oem possible. no steaming or anything. only a stone chip which has put a hole straight through :(.

know what you mean about them disappearing, will have a better search when i'm home later :smiley:

Yeah was looking at getting the chrome ones to keep as oem as poss but the black ones do look good. My gti's satin silver, I think the black ones suit the darker paint colours more tbh, not sure though :undecided:

What about the 2nd set in the link dom069 posted? They look chrome but with a black insert/surround thingy from that pic!? Oooh the choices lol :grin:

I find it odd that most OEM xenon look replica headlights don't have the twin indicator set up and ditch the less than usless fog lights.
